Castle Cookies Continued 5 - Last One

I know, I've been on a bit of a kick with the castle themed cookies. I've had these cookie cutters for quite a while and I've been so excited to make them and I just love "theme" cookies. My birthday was Monday and now that it's Saturday, I guess we can officially say this is the last of the birthday castle cookies. Oh but such fun to come... with new ideas of cookies! Okay, so these are Princess hats. The cookie cutter is from eCrandal and I wanted this one for a long time before I finally broke down and bought it. I have to show SOME restraint right? I added sanding sugar on the wispy part and kept with the pinks and lavenders of the other castle cookies.

Then our princesses need crowns right? I have several crown cookie cutters. One of them was even a gift from my friend, Shilpi. I didn't make those this time because I was trying to use my new set of cookie cutters, but that cutter is especially cute because it's PINK :-)

I also made these larger crowns. I added sanding sugar to the entire crown in the back row, left side and decided that I didn't like the look of that at all so I made the rest without sanding sugar.

And what castle theme would be complete without a glass slipper? I decorated some with disco dust and some with white sanding sugar. I liked both and couldn't decide which one was better. 

and in case you forgot about the one lonely wand for the princess, here it is again. So cute that I wish I had made more. 

So these were all for the princesses that need hats, crowns, glass slippers and wands. Oh you know what I didn't make that would have been fun... fairies. Darn, next time... :-)

I'm off for a long bicycle ride all day Saturday. Although it should be about 90-miles, I think it's going to be a pretty easy day. Mostly flat route with good weather and a relaxed pace with my cycling club. I hope you're doing something special with your day too!

More Castle/Princess Cookies For My Birthday

In addition to the castles that I made for my birthday cookies, I also made many other castle-themed cookies.  What do you suppose goes nicely with a castle?

This Princess cookie cutter came from CopperGifts.com and thanks to Susan from The Painted Cookie, they show a great design of a little Princess girl. I decorated a similar princess girl, but I decided to also make a mom Princess/Queen too using the same cookie cutter.

I started by outlining my cookies with black icing making some princesses and some queens. As you can probably see from the queen on the right, I changed the design and scraped off the black and then finalized my design and re-outlined. You can do this at any time and it will be covered by the icing. No worries!

I then filled the skin tone of the faces and let them sit overnight before adding detail. If you're smarter than me, you will add the icing eyes now before it dries ;-)

 The next day I filled in the hair and dress. Since I had forgotten the icing eyes, I dabbed a touch of skin color icing onto the bottom of each eye and added them on too. Sorry I didn't take more photos along the way or even individualized, but hey, it was 4am and I hadn't gone to bed yet!

 I also made one very lonely wand. It was so cute that I wished I had made more, bu there's always next time! I used my Kopykake to draw the star. Again, if you're smarter than me, it would be easier to just use a star cookie cutter to make a slight impression on your cookie before it bakes and then trace it with icing afterward. It's funny how you don't think of such things in the wee hours of the night. 

Nick and I both enjoyed a castle cookie yesterday. His comment with a full mouth: "I have the best mom in the whole world". Kinda makes you want to make cookies every day doesn't it...! Enjoy your day!
