I am nervous to show you these cookies.
They are based on this design .
Please please please go and look at the link so you dont think I am losing it by making these cookies for a thirteen year old girl.
(The link shows up a bit pink on my screen, but Alicia confirmed that the party supplies are definitely red.)
Its all very cute and hip and fun and I just hope the cookies fit in with the decor.
So now we can move forward.
Thank you for your participation.
I also made a big cookie that will go on top of a white cake. Its over six inches across!
Since I had NO clue how to write out M-I-R-A-N-D-A in that particular font, I had to search for it on dafont. com.
Even though I practiced quite a bit, I still had a tough time getting it just right. I have lots of room for improvement here!
Happy Birthday Miranda! You Rock! Hope your party is Rockin'!
(sorry. couldn't resist)
I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe and my favorite icing recipe.

Oh! Did you happen to notice that my Olympic Cookies are no longer here? Well I sorta neglected to get permission to use the very trademarked symbol of the rings.
So! Had to take them down. If you are going to start crying and lose sleep tonight and possibly snap at your spouse in frustration because you cant see them anymore, have no fear. I still have them up on my personal flickr stream. 😉
Your work would be amazing in royal icing. But in confectioner’s sugar glaze?? Insane. Absolutely insane. I look forward to your posts most out of all my Reader collection.
I saw a 1S tip in one of your photos. Is that your favorite one for the detail work? Do you have “tips” for doing detail work for us amateurs out here?
Pretty sure you are the rock star here … I can’t even do letters in my own personal font, let alone copy one. Fantastic job.
You JUST learned how to write that font that Miranda is in? It is PERFECT!! Seriously, it looks great. Again, blown away by your talent.
And….I had no idea you had to get permission to use the Olympic rings! Did some big bad Olympic people come yell at you??
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe those cookies! They are absolutely awesome! You are a master at what you do..I couldn’t even begin to make those cookies! lol Good job, Amanda!
Amanda, these are phenom love!!!! They look sooo great! You did a fantastic job on them!!
This is the “orderer” of the Olympic cookies 🙂 We had our “Last Day of School” Olympic themed party today and the cookies were a hit! All of my little 2nd grade Olympians got a medal and a cookie after their competitions and they were thrilled! Your work is amazing and I love reading your blog! Too bad the trademark police made you take them down! 🙂
You are a Rock Star!! Those are amazing. I had to laugh at your comment that there is room for improvement. Really?! Where?! These are absoutely perfect ~ Seriously!! I wish you weren’t booked up for the summr ~ I would love to order some Sweet 16 ones for my Katie!!
this is just awesome! I love this platter and your letterings incredible! How do you manage to pipe the letters so perfectly! I’m in awe!
Awesome Amanda! Gosh, it must have taken you ages to write in that script!!! Ha ha ha. I wish I was your next door neighbor so that I could come over and eat your mistake cookies – assuming you ever have those. I usually have at least a couple that end up being set aside. Hugs to you!
As soon as I got the email notification, I just KNEW it was for Miranda!!!!!!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All my kids are looking at this, and as soon as we saw the red cookie w/ the guitar, we all let out a big gasp AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!
Haha..now my daughter understands why I was so excited. She said that she doesn’t want anyone to eat them!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!
They look sooooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to figure out how I’m going to plate them!!! LOL! But, my friend is making a white cake w/ fondant, and I know it will go perfect with your cookies!!!!!
I just hope I do the cookies justice by displaying them right!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
