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. These look totally fantastic as usual! I really love these, they are simple but also fabulous. She will love them!

  2. 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!

  3. Sally is one lucky birthday gal! Do you ever get “froster’s cramp”? You know, like a writer’s cramp? Amazing beautiful little detail!

  4. Ah, very nice! I like the 60 around the edge – very creative. I would not have noticed unless you pointed it out.

  5. Super cute cookies! Love the variation of designs you did, I’m sure Sally will love them all! The “No Limits 60” is great!

  6. 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.
