Flowery Alphabet Cookies
I’m doing a little *late* spring cleaning around here, so over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing a few cookies that I never got around to posting. That means even though the whole Lorax craze has come and gone you’ll still get the pleasure of seeing my interpretation of the furry little guy. But not today. Today I’m in a flowery mood.
To make these cookies, I dressed up a simple candy corn cookie with a tiny little flower. This idea will work with any letter, really, I just happened to need a “A” on that particular day. I chose the candy corn for the base because it didn’t have any fragile protrusions. P.S. I’m pretty sure I giggled when I typed that word.
Anywho…back to cookies. Constructing these was simple. I used the flower to cut a notch out of the candy corn and connected them like a little puzzle.
After they were baked and cooled, I outlined and flooded them with plain white icing and did all of the decorating on top. Since I am particularly fond of these colors, I thought I would tell you the colors I mixed to make them.
- leaf green + lemon yellow = bright green
- regal purple + electric purple = my favorite purple
- electric pink + terracotta = pretty coral-ly pink
The next time you have letter {or number} cookies on your mind, try using a mini-cutter to dress up a plain letter. The possibilities are endless and they are sure to please.
Thanks for hanging around while I do a little housekeeping. It’s always better with friends. I hope this very busy time of year is treating everyone well. See you again very soon. Happy baking!
Oh my gosh I love the cookies, but I especially love the purple! I’ve never liked any of the Americolor purples, this is perfect! Can’t wait to try it! Thank you!
Awesome as usual.
So pretty! I love the colors, and the letter is just perfect! Very creative as usual too!
Oh wow! I like the way you combined the candy corn and flower. Very creative 🙂
Love these! I always wanted a alphabet set but I can see I don’t really need one, with your great idea. Super cute, simple and thanks for always sharing with us…
These are just so fresh and lovely. I just love your colours. Warm wishes.
Gorgeous!
I think they are just adorable, even without any protrusions.
Lol! Sometimes a protrusion is not nessecary, right?!
Brilliant….and beautiful. Thanks for sharing how you get your awesome three fave colors. 🙂 ?
Beautiful, just beautiful! And if you don’t have the little flower cutter, you could just take a bite out of the candy corn cookie before baking, right? 🙂
These are so pretty! Love this idea!
I would like to say, “great minds think alike”….but sadly mine does not think like yours!! I would never have thought to use that candy corn as anything but candy corn! That pink is beautiful! I don’t think I have any terra cotta coloring! Now you are making me want to order!!!
You NEED terracotta!
Love the creative use of cookie cutters!
LOVE your use of color and creativity with a cookie cutter!! I wish I could look at things with your brain just for a day!!
I love them all! Great idea 🙂
I love the “puzzle” trick, I know I’ve seen it on at least one previous post but I just think it’s so clever!! And this post has given me an idea – the results won’t be nearly as pretty, but I have an almost-4-year-old who is learning her letters – what a fun way to practice!!
Lovely!
Hi Marla!!!
Love these pretty designs and colors! Happy cleaning 🙂
You had me at flower! I’ve been determined to make a pretty creative flower cookie! Thanks for inspiring me 😉
I love how just your simple flower cookies are simply stunning! I’m just starting out and first thing I attempted was a basic square. All I did was outline and flood. (learned a lot about icing consistency during that first attempt.) Next, I made yellow smiley face cookies. And my latest attempt was simple flower cookies. It was then that I learned simple flowers are trickier than they look. But I’m learning each time and will definitely be changing up my process for the next time, just based on looking at your beautiful work.
My ultimate goal is to make your adorable ladybug cookies for my daughter’s first birthday party August! I just got my balloon cutter in the mail, so the practice begins this weekend! Wish me luck!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with all of us! It’s so fun to see each new post!
I love your cookies as much as I love your beautiful colours you decorated them with. You have such a great eye for colour Callye.
So pretty, Callye! I love the way you create different shapes with the cookie cutters you already have. So creative, fun, and new! It must take forever, but you get some really awesome results 🙂
These are so incredibly pretty and the colours are amazing. You are certainly the queen of colour mixing! Oh and those cutters are awesome. All 3 for only $2.99? I need to visit the states with a wad of cash for all my baking supplies, obviously!
Oh and RE spring cleaning.. I haven’t done any *gasp* I just haven’t had that weird nesting urge this year like I normally do. Shh!
Love the centers of your flowers with the cute little green dots around them.
pretty!!
So very, very pretty. Your cookies are always beautiful.
wow they are really perfect! you made a great job
