Back To School (doing the happy dance lalala...) Cookies

I love the back to school cookies being posted out there in cookie land, decided this year I would give it a try.  NO order, just for fun.  Kids are VERY happy, FINALLY they say, we can eat one of your cookies.  I do not know what they complain about, they can eat the garbage cookies, I guess they want cookies that are completely decorated.  :) 

I do not remember where I saw this, but I gave it a try this round.  ONE bowl, 7 icing colors made.  LOVE the clean up. 

I really love how the shadows from my patio doors look in this picture. 

I had so  much fun with these orders.  The ZTA cookies I used wet on wet technique and air brushed the crowns with a pearl.

These I used my Kopy Kake,(I got mine here - Jerry's ,  painting with luster dust, and used some fondant for the ribbons.  I was going to use icing, but realized I did not have enough, so being lazy, I went for the fondant instead of making another batch of icing.  Sometimes, being lazy works out for me.  Teehee!!

I have come to the realization I need to read up on how to take a decent cookie picture, if I could only remember to take the darn pictures way before 5 minutes prior to pick up.  eek!

Thanks for stopping, have a delicious day!

Order number 2 - Italian Flags for a family reunion. 

Order number 3 - These cookies were used as a thank you for ordering coffee from my dancing daughters fund raiser.  I had to try the stick figures again, thanks Jill FCS for the inspiration.  Still have a long way to go, but I still think they are kind of cute.  I packaged all the cookies, then realized I forgot to take pictures, Doh!

3 orders this weekend, 1 done and picked up, the other 2 almost.  I am pooped.  I had a blast today, however, I started around 8 and have just finished, 6.  I finally purchased myself a rolling cart with cover and I could not be happier!!  Wow what a space saver!!   I posted the order that was picked up and my loverly cart.  Time to order pizza, pour a cold one-H2O for me, pop a couple Tylenol for my pathetic thumbs and fingers.  Will post the other 2 orders tomorrow once they are plated and ready to go.  Enjoy! 

See the 'stick' figure cookies?  I have a cookie crush on Jill at FCS, for some time she has some of the most amazing designs.  Check out her Facebook Page - here  be prepared to be amazed.  I love her stick figures and thought I would give it a try.  Well . . . well let's just leave it at - I definitely need to practice.  :)
