Sixtieth Birthday Cookies
I made some cookies for Sally’s sixtieth birthday.
The request was, “black, hot pink, white, classy, birthday”
I used this sugar cookie recipe and this glaze recipe.
I found a picture of a flower that I liked so I made a rough sketch of it.
I have no idea if it’s classy or not… asking me to define classy can be hit or miss.
Mostly miss.
Then I tried something new.
I think the cookies are ok but they did not turn out like I had hoped! The swirly outside design is actually continuous “60’s” around the edge.
Can ya see it? (I feel like I say that a lot)
It might have turned out like I had envisioned if I had a steadier hand… this is one of those designs that might work better with more practice.
Happy Sixtieth Birthday Sally! Hope you enjoy your cookies!
Those are just great!
I think they sum up class just fine!
Super cute…as always!!! You’re making me want to experiment right now. But, I don’t need cookies right now. Oooooohhh, just had an idea…I’ll make some for my daughter’s teacher! Ok, now I need an idea! I’ve been wanting to experiment with painting on sugar cookies.
There are some amazing tutorials at University of Cookie for painting!

LOVE the continuous 60’s and the NO LIMITS! I hope I’m as lively when I’m 60! CUTE!
sooo creative. love em. I am sure the Birthday girl was thrilled.
I love the curly “60s” along the edge! Okay- I need Father’s Day ideas…. Got any I can can copy? 😉
They are pretty, classy and cute. Love your detailed pink flower.
Amanda,you really do a fine job with conf. glaze the color is beautiful…perhaps a much better finish than that of royal icing. Did you ever give us a clue as to which tip you use for writing…your work is simply beautiful!
Happy birthday to Sally! These look just lovely; the colours are wonderful and slightly understated, making for that “classy” look you were going for – and I like the border! Don’t know if she’d want that many reminders that she’s 60, though. 😉
