Fathers Day Casual Shirt Cookie (Tutorial)






Now that we've done a more dressy collared shirt cookie for Dad on Fathers Day,
let's make a casual shirt cookie with a pocket and buttons.


The cookie shape is simple........a large square. :)
Using additional cookie dough, cut out a collar and a pocket and
place them on top of the cookie before baking.
(I used the straight edge of the large square cutter to cut out these shapes.)


After the cookie is baked and cooled, flood the entire cookie in your-color-of-choice glaze.

Be careful not to use too much glaze around the edges of the collar/pocket causing it to pile up and take away from the contrast of the different cookie heights.

In this example cookie, a plaid pattern was added....
but feel free to leave the shirt plain or add your own pattern.


Allow the cookie to dry for at least 30 minutes.
Outline the color and pocket in the same color glaze.


To add stitches, allow the glaze to dry for a couple of hours.
Poke evenly space holes along the edges with a cake tester or other round tool.
Then pipe stitches across ever two holes as shown below.
(Please excuse the blurry photo.)


While the cookie is drying overnight, mold 2-3 small buttons in a silicone mold using edible clay.

Place the buttons on the side of the shirt (under the collar) and add some glaze stitches on the buttons.

Fathers Day Collared Dress Shirt Cookie (Tutorial)






Believe it or not..... Fathers Day happens in just 3 weeks!
And Dad needs some special cookies to celebrate all he is in our lives.


How about a collared dress shirt cookie?


To make this cookie more dimensional, form a collar with cookie dough
around the top of a tall rectangle shape,  of which the top corners had been snipped off.


The 3D collar makes it much easier to add the customized texture on the shirt.

Outline and flood the entire cookie in white glaze.


After at least 30 min, add an outline around the collar and a line down the middle.


Carefully flood the collar to give it a puffier look.
Be careful not to add too much glaze as it will overflow.


Allow the cookie to dry for a total of 4 hours before imprinting a message over the mid-section.
These letter presses were used to add the "Happy Fathers Day" greeting.

Dry overnight.
Brush on dry black color dust to the neck area of the shirt
and your-color-of-choice dust to the rest of the shirt to give it some color.
