Cookie Cutter Challenge

 

 

I was lucky enough to be asked to be part of a really fun

 

Collaborative Group Project,

 

Coordinated by the super talented and ever so sweet

Cristin of  Cristin's Cookies

 

 

Cristin sent us each a cookie cutter, and asked us to create

whatever we wanted...anything goes!

 

But...we did not know what the cutter was, and we could not

share or talk to any of the other participates about

our designs, until they were all submitted and she sent

us the final collage!

 

Woot Woot!

 

 

I was super excited, and secretly praying that it would be

one of my two favorite cutter shaped,

 

Cupcake

 

or

 

Puzzle!

 

 

I totally stared at the mailbox for days...waiting and waiting....

 

and then...

 

 

it came!

 

I ripped open the box and saw this....

 

 

WHAT THE WHAT?

 

What is it?

 

What could it be?

 

What CAN I make?

 

Ruh Roh....I am in trouble!

 

 

I had a problem....a big problem!

 

I don't have "cookie think"!

 

I don't see stuff when I look at a random shape.

 

AND

 

I can not draw to save my life....I mean at all!

 

So...I traced the cutter, copied it like 8 million times...

 

 

the just stared at it

 

and stared at it...

 

Then I carried it around with me...

 

and asked everyone I saw

 

"What is this?"

 

 

Oh...everyone helped...they all saw different things

 

great

 

now what?

 

How do I get that "image" onto a cookie?

 

Remember...home girl can not DRAW?

 

SO....in a panic...I turned to my Collin

 

 

"Hey Collin, what is this?"

 

"It's a girl mom...duh"

 

"Um...sorry I don't see it"

 

"What?  It is right there...see...it is a little girl"

 

"Um...no..I still don't see it"

 

"MOM!  It's a girl...just make it a girl"

 

"Nope..still don't see it"

 

 

Then I had to do what parents all over the world do...

 

 

I had to PAY my son to draw a cookie design for me!

 

Everyone does that....RIGHT?

 

Please tell me people do that....I don't want to seem like a freak!

 

 

So...after $2.00 and like 5 minutes at the desk...Collin handed me THIS!

 

 

 

 

Isn't she cute?

 

So...I "could" have tweaked it a little, evening out the features, make a little change

here and there...but in the end....I just went for it...and

re-created Collin's design exactly (or at least I tried)

 

 

Not perfect...but close...and I was happy with it...I had some consistency issues with

my glaze...but it was done...and Collin loved it!

 

 

 

NOW

 

 

onto what the other ladies did!

 

You are about to be AMAZED!

 

These ladies really out did there selves!

 

I love each and every one of them..

 

and honored to be included in such a

 

talented group of ladies!
