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. 😉
Wei-Wei
These look totally fantastic as usual! I really love these, they are simple but also fabulous. She will love them!
Super Snazzy. I hope Sally enjoys them! Well done Amanda!
Awesome design and lovely cookies!! I think those swirls are lovely imo!! The little uneven swirls gives it more character and i think they are fab! I love the swirls!
Sally is one lucky birthday gal! Do you ever get “froster’s cramp”? You know, like a writer’s cramp? Amazing beautiful little detail!
Ah, very nice! I like the 60 around the edge – very creative. I would not have noticed unless you pointed it out.
Oh my..those are soooooooo pretty!! I love all those colors!!!!!
They sure look Classy to me! But what do I know?!?! 😉
classy? yes. this is a definite hit. i love the 60s along the border–very clever. 🙂
Super cute cookies! Love the variation of designs you did, I’m sure Sally will love them all! The “No Limits 60” is great!
These are beautiful and I love the “60” around the edges…Sally will too!
I just stumbled onto your blog a couple of weeks ago as a fellow sugar cookie decorator!
I was wondering you you would tell me, when you do your round cookies, how big is the circle? Same for the square/retangle.
Also, do you use a #0 or #00 frosting tip? I can’t seem to find then anywhere, I would love to konw where you got them
Thanks so much, I love the blog.
hello there ! just a quick note to tell you that I just l o v e all your little cookies !!! really each of them are so cute which I’m sure must make it hard to eat them 😉
Thanks for your posts, they are really lovely.

Too cute! I love your work!
They look great!! Even without noticing it was “60” as a border, it still looks really fun as loops! And I think it looks classy, you’re pulled it off!
Those are so awesome! I especially like the speed limit ones! Great job (as always) and thanks for sharing!
The 60 border! Soooooo cute, Amanda! Your cookies are always *just perfect*! Now, quit being so gosh-darn clever….you make the rest of us look bad! 😉
