Fairy Tale Cookie Project

Just recently I had the amazing opportunity and honor of being part of a wonderful cookie project. Anne from Flour Box Bakery organized this project by 21 cookiers in the US (and 1 in Korea). The project was based on many different fairy tales, with each of us taking one specific fairy tale and making cookies with that theme for a baby shower.

I made Peter Pan cookies, and tried to incorporate the idea of staying a child and being happy - since those are both huge themes in the story of Peter Pan. I also wanted to make it seem like there was pixie dust sprinkled all over the cookies!


As you can see, I put some kind of "pixie dust" on every cookie - whether it was scattered dots painted in luster dust or icing dots . I wanted the characters to look as childlike as I could, so I used some art from here as my inspiration for my characters.

Yadira of One Sweet Party designed a beautiful bag tag and bag topper for our project:

You can see the full project at Anne's Blog, and I've also included links to everyone's projects below. Enjoy the beauty of some amazing, talented artists - my Sugar Sisters!!

Keep it sweet,
