judyvega Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 It's my mom's bday, so I just made this for her. Never made one before, and I don't think I'll ever make one again lol - TOOK FOREVER. And I'm not so good at decorating cookies. Oh well, I'm her kid so I know she'll love it lol. Thanks for looking (sorry the pic isn't so great) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judyvega Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 Hey that is cute. Maybe add some green confetti in the mug.GloGood idea, thanks I was thinking about making these as gifts for Christmas - I learned some things today - next time I will use precut cookie shapes instead of rolling out dough and using the cookie cutter myself. I didn't have any powdered meringue to make royal icing, so instead I had to make a softer icing - that's not too good cause it wants to run off the cookies when you put them upright - royal icing it is next time. I don't think these would be TOO bad to do if you just set aside a day to bake and insert sticks, then ice. Then maybe decorate the next day and arrange. I'll see how it goes. This thing took me THREE HOURS. So I definitely need to cut the time down. Thanks for the comments. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blest2BAmerican Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I think you did a great job! Have you checked out the website that sells cookie bouquets? They are very expensive so you should be very proud of yourself. I bet she will love it because it's such a unique idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerinarkansas Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 That is so cute and I'm sure your mom will love it. Moms always love whatever their kids make no matter what age their kids are. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 The perfect present. You made it yourself and Mom gets to eat it. She may even let you have a cookie. I think it looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hometowncandles Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 That's adorable, and such a great idea. I might try one of those for dd & ds birthday's next year.

judyvega Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 That's super cute! How do you get them to stand up inside the mug?I bought some of that green styrofoam stuff - like they use to make flower arrangements - stuck it down in the cup and there you have it Thanks again - she did like it. There's only 3 cookies left lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoopie Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 If you want to make them for X-Mas, Gordons Food has the pre-cut christmas cookie shapes... I think 10 bucks for a box of 72...... then you just bake. I'd think that would be worth it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Just seeing this! The patience you have. I've lost it. I love decorated cookies, but the most I get on a sugar cookie is any sugar pressed into it before it goes into the oven. Happy belated birthday to mom!
