WELCOME BABY / BABY SHOWER COOKIES

Baby cookies are one of my favorites, mainly because I started decorating cookies after I became a mom! These pictured here were one of the very first cookies I had baked and decorated. Since then, I have made thousands of baby cookies; and realized the ‘baby boy’ figure is one of the favorites amongst mothers.
(The bear embossed on middle body cookie is by Patchwork Cutters)

Moms love to have different options, from baby bottle to baby socks etc. When it comes to kids, I have to cook the perfectly same cookie within the whole arrangement- so that kids do not quarrel to get to eat a certain shape. Lovely!
The cookies are from ancient times of my cookie decoration business! I believe these were the first professional ‘Welcome Baby’ cookies – found them on ‘To be posted’ items and could not resist myself, despite the old-fashioned style of myself 🙂
Looking at them, all I see is how anti-professional I could be. Mainly the photos and the backgrounds I used are very amateur! It is fun to look back and see how I improved many things 🙂

WELCOME BABY COOKIES

Fondant is very simple to use, in a much clean and neat environment. As I dont have to wait overnight for the icing to dry, I love working with fondant. The baby cookie above was molded with another First Impressions Mold.
I mostly use embossing sticks to decorate fondant – I prefer this to rolling pin as it is much smoother and sticks are easier to control!

I have made these cookies for an expected baby boy. As I had to deliver them very quickly, I had very little time to shoot pictures…so this is simply what I have out of tens of models.
