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.

  1. 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.

  2. I love the curly “60s” along the edge! Okay- I need Father’s Day ideas…. Got any I can can copy? 😉

  3. 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!

  4. 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. 😉
