Care Bear Birthday for my Bestie.

Hi all!
Welcome to the Care Bear process post! Just a heads up this post is HUGE!!
Because Care Bears are adorable and I took like 300 pictures LOL. 
​So without further ado let's get this started! 

Sketch/Concept

Special birthday cookie request... White Chocolate Macadamia... 
And man were they good... I made a whole batch for myself LOL. 

Also haven't posted all my pretty icings in a while and this set was definitely colorful!
It took me about 2 hours to mix the colors but I didn't even notice I had a blast LOL. 

The Flips

How to make a Care Bear?
Welp I had a bear cutter and a few little alterations and I had Care Bears!! 
Very happy with how that turned out! 

As for the plaques I guess I didn't get a picture... It's just a square meshed with a plaque cutter made to look like clouds. I love how it came out! 

Edible Ink and Sketches

How to draw a Care Bear?
Oh boy... ha well to be honest I had no idea how I was going to do this part. I just grabbed my edible markers and started sketching... 
To my surprise they looked pretty good... 
I was scared to add the icing though hahaha I did all the sketches night 1 and decided to address icing them in the morning... 

Since this post is so big I did it a little differently.
I posted all the bears individually so you can see them come to life, then I posted all the pictures as the process went along.
I couldn't actually do any of these in one sitting there was a lot of layering so I had to wait for each layer to dry.

​So I gathered my courage and started flooding... ​

Birthday Bear

Wish Bear

Watercolor

Food coloring & Vanilla Extract

Oh boy and to the stars lol
So I guess my yellow icing was a bit thin... or I used too much food coloring when I went to paint the gold on because it melted the icing a tad... boo.. 
But not a huge deal.... it's still edible LOL. 

OOPS! OverSaturated.

Tenderheart Bear

Cheer Bear

Good Luck Bear

Grumpy Bear

I honestly wasn't super happy with the Care Bears...
I made their eyes too big... blarg.
But they're still cute.

Actual Process​

This shows how the process actually went along...

Photoshoot & Side-by-Sides

Welp... I didn't get pictures of them bagged up I was more than halfway packed already (picture top left) before I realized I hadn't taken pictures of them bagged up. 
BUT I did get a picture of the pretty box I made!!
I mean c'mon it's basically like it came from Care-A-Lot Headquarters hahaha
​My friends are spoiled... but I love them. 

Holy crap you made it! That's the end!
Thanks SO MUCH for stopping by!
Much Love
