Happy Cozy Birthday

HELLO and welcome!!! 
I have a cute little fall set to share with you today! I created these for my Sister-in-Law's birthday! 

Yeahhhh I know my sketches are getting roughhh y'all. Hahaha. But they are useful to me.. you'd probably be surprised to know I keep my sketch right next to my table as I create each set. 
It's like an idea pad I guess. 
Either way there it is in all it's glory! 

Awww look at my cute little blank canvases.
Y'all probably know this but, little inside tidbit I decorate on the back of the cookies (for the most part). It's a smoother surface and I like how the cookie looks when you turn it over.
It produces a really clean result.

Extra bonus tidbit--- I always make myself little extras so I can taste my cookies along the way. I like to know how they taste from the time they come out of the oven until the day I bag them up. 
So that's what that weird-looking half cookie is right there.....

Let's Get Started

This cookie was fun!!
​Watch how I created a yarn ball from chocolate royal icing.

And the beanies...

I don't think I have any planned but I'd like to do some more of these...
This whole set really started something new for me as far as texture goes but it's very tricky as far as figuring the icing out... if the icing is too stiff it's impossible to work with for many reasons but if it's too runny you won't get definition at all so it's tricky and I'm excited to play around with textures some more. 

La de da making my way here...
Did the flood/white icing on the cookies that needed it. 

The drink vessels are pretty popular.. I've done them a lot and I will probably do more of them in the future -no doubt- but they are pretty cute....
And I got to bust out my bronze luster dust and do some paint splatter.
Absolutely gorgeous!
​
*Side note everything I use is 100% edible.
Luster dust mixes with clear vanilla to create paint.

Cardigan Creation

Did I mention the shirt/sweater/hoodie was hand cut?
K well they were hand cut LOL. They are so freaking cute.
I created them from a rectangle cookie cutter. Idk why I didn't add that in there somehwere.
Fall is busy.
But look cute cardigan... hehe

"Knitting" the Sweater

So kinda funny because I do actually knit and crochet...now I also knit and crochet in royal icing apparently hahaha....

Hoodie Situation

Ha I ran out of cute things to say...

More textures! & Paint.
I used the parchment paper trick for the border of the birthday quote cookie.
I've done this technique before if you missed it and are interested you can see a more detailed version HERE.
​I used the same bronze to paint the crochet hook and I only picked "H" because it's a popular size...

Photoshoot & Close Ups

I love how cute these looked bagged up!!

That's a wrap for this set, literally haha...
I really enjoyed creating this set and I learned a TON about texture... mostly that I'm still very much beginner level as far as that goes. Definitely need more practice...
Thank you so much for coming on this journey with me!
I hope you enjoyed it and maybe learned something new!
Hope you have an awesome day and I hope you come back for the next one!
Much Love,
Amanda
