I had a request for Mickey and Minnie cookies for this weekend!
I've done Mickey cookies in the past, but they were of Mickey's face. I wanted to stay away from that style, since I've been warned it's a big no-no with Disney.
I did a little research and found the following design to be pretty popular in the cookie world, so when I ran it by the client, she loved it. One designer, Carolyn, of The Occasional Cookie, caught my eye -- she is amazingly talented and had done this design for her own daughter's birthday. They are super cute! She has an amazing blog, and I really enjoy her tutorial on lollipop sugar cookies, which can be found here. I can't wait to try these!
Here are my Mickey/Minnie sugar cookies:
They were so much fun to do! I took the advice of mixing my extra colored icing together before adding black icing, and letting it sit before using it. The black came out great! At one point I was checking them, and I thought they had that "powdered look" - when you don't know if it hardened or not... that had me worried! But they turned out great - whew!
Happy First Birthday to Emma!

These are great! I think you can really tell when someone has had fun decorating their cookies...it shows through somehow.
Thank you, Canterbury Cakes! :)
