FIRST TOOTH CELEBRATION COOKIES

It is a custom in my country, Turkey to celebrate the arrival of first tooth/teeth of new born babies. On this special day, we invite our friends/relatives to our homes or outside for a party. There is some special food to deliver, but it also became popular to hand out cookies in shape of tooth & toothbrush to the guests.
We also east some special food made of wheat. Difficult to say, I think it is boiled. And then, we serve it either salty or sweet, with ingredients. Those who prefer it sweet, add on top of it, chocolate or some fruits or dried fruits, nuts etc.

These cookies were quickly prepared for such a celebration party for a baby girl.

with the hope that she will have no pain while delivering her teeth, and that she will brush her teeth minimum three times a day 🙂

TOOTH & TOOTHBRUSH COOKIES


These cookies are great for the celebration of your baby’s first tooth/teeth. I love also the rabbits with teeth, but prettiest is the tooth embossed with your baby’s name on it. For girls, I would use flowers and ribbons for hair (as if there is some hair); and for boys I prefer as below, also stars on top left or top right.

The eyes are pearl candies; everything else is as well edible!


For the mouth I use modelling tools, however you can use any kind of equipment that bears the shape 🙂 Let me know if you get to find something useful and easy to find.
