Play With Your Food Project {Vintage Toy Cookies}

August 27, 2012 | 63 Comments »

Every once in a while I get decorator’s block.  That’s when I know I’m about due for a group project.  This fun collaboration, “Play With Your Food” was organized by one of my favorite decorators, Angela, of Oh, Sugar Events.

It took me a while to decide on a theme, but when I finally did {thanks, Nicole} I chose vintage-ish Fisher Price toys.  They bring back wonderful memories.  Especially the School Clock and Little People, which were called Mickeys at my house.

I started out with lofty goals, but around baking time I was bitten by the lazy bug. Not only did I wait until last minute to start, I also decided that I might die if I had to hand-cut my cookies.  So, I used cutters I already had.

  1. Stacking Rings- d and e {candycorn + circle}
  2. Teaching Clock- a {Wilton Frankenstein}
  3. Corn Popper Push Toy- b {Copper Gifts lighthouse}
  4. Two Tune TV- c and g {Wilton Gingerbeard House Set + mini-dog bone}
  5. Chatter Telephone- a, trimmed {Wilton Frankenstein}
  6. Little People Dog- h {smallest Ecrandal nesting doll}
  7. Little People Girl- h {smallest Ecrandal nesting doll}
  8. Xylophone- c, f, and g {Wilton gingerbeard house set +mini-dogbone +mini circle}

I love that I didn’t have to hand-cut a single one.

I learned a lot during this project. I may do a tutorial or two, if y’all like since I *kind of* know what I am doing now.

My favorite cookie turned out to be the xylophone.  The final product was a pleasant surprise.

 Okay, enough about me, time to go check out what my amazing friends made.  You’re going to love these collections!
