CLOWN COOKIES

clowns for birthdays…I used the brown plastic bear shaped cookie cutter by Wilton to cut the cookies. It worked but I had to cut the ears before cooking.

PHOTO COOKIES

I don’t like icing, most probably because I cannot manage it as perfectly as fondant. However, see above, it is true that writings with icing look more shiny and more 3-D…so I love the look.

Sometimes my customers ask me how I make these photo cookies. So here is the trick. You need to buy a brand new computer together with special edible ink cartridges. The paper is Lucks edible rice paper in size A4. It is as simple as getting a print out, but slightly more difficult to work with as the paper is pretty thin and can melt in hot environment or with wet fingers etc.

PHOTO COOKIES FOR ZEYNEP

I just learned that noone except the mother of Zeynep was able to eat the cookies after her birthday party. Everyone was keeping in the deep freezer. I asked them why they kept it, as they could simply keep a photograph. One replied to me saying, she wanted to show it to Zeynep when she grew older; it is nothing you could show on a photograph as she stated.
And to make me feel proud, the baby’s mother told they were most delicious cookies she ever ate- such that she could not resist eating her baby’s piece. Happy birthday Zeynep, welcome to the family!

eat well forever, and stay healthy!!

COOKIES FOR THE CELEBRATION OF FIRST TOOTH

Harun Yılmaz had his first tooth shortly before his birthday so his mother was throwing a celebration party. People usually go for tooth shaped cookies, but his mother preferred photo cookies. Out of tens of photos, we selected this one as he was smiling. Isn’t he cute!
