Cherry Love Cookies for the Polkadot Prints printable range

Do you love cherries like I love cherries.

If the answer is yes you must check out the gorgeous new Polkadot Prints Cherry Love printables range.

 

Yup Love It! Told you. Especially the straw tags. I Love them! They are the new must have bling for you party drinks and would also look great on cake pops as well.

I baked up some cookies and some little cherry pies to go along with the printables for a set of photo's taken by Naomi V Photography.

The cookies are so simple, just a large round sugar cookie topped with white ready rolled fondant, a couple of smaller circles of ready rolled fondant and then a hand shaped stem and leaves.

The green ones are a ruffled round cutter (I used one from my Ikea cookie cutter set) sugar cookie topped with a green round ready rolled fondant cut out. Hand shaped round balls of red fondant, hand shaped stems and leaves and then some dots of royal icing around the edges.

Cherry Love printables - totally sweet, you can check out Jordan from Polkadot prints blog post on it here.

Oh and the pie crust recipe is from my book being released in December, Sweets on a Stick, it's the sugar pie crust recipe I use to make all my pie pops with.

Toadstool and Dragonfly cookies for Polkadot Prints Down in the Garden Party

You must pop on over and check out the lovely Down in the Garden Party created by Jordan of Polkadot Prints that has been featured on Hostess with the Mostess.


The cute little toadstools and dragonflies were made by little ole me.


The pictures there are oh so cute and the styling is so very cool and check out the printables and packaging which is all available at Polkadot prints.

I had a bit of fun working on this as I really like toadstools, I may have driven Jordan kinda a bit crazy emailing her different designs.


See here is an example of the craziness, want to know how many cookies will fit in your treat bag, I'll send you a picture of a few different cookies next to a ruler.

Oh and Besser nice work on that ruler I got in a sample bag like 15 years ago at the Ekka (fair), advertising is still paying off ;)

Toadstool Cookies

The toadstool cookies were hand cut chocolate sugar cookie decorated with hand cut rolled fondant and the white dots were a icing sugar glaze. Well actually just water and icing sugar mixed up to the consistency I wanted.

(The test cookies were all rolled fondant)

Dragonfly Cookies

The dragonflies were made using a cookie cutter from Details Details and decorated with fondant, silver cashous, white glaze, silver luster dust and the bodies were a mixture of cocoa and icing sugar, the same recipe I used for the cross on the hot cross muffins I made CLICK here for link. The chocolate glaze was not the best for piping but I was really loving the taste at the time. I just piped it in one big thick line up the middle.

Here is one of the reject dragonfly samples, he was too cute, sometime life is like that :(
