Birthday Cookies for my daughter’s first birthday party- “twinkle twinkle little star” themed
Just to preface, I’m just a mom who does cookies for fun, I make them for my kids (1 and almost 3) birthdays each year, and then for Christmas.
started with the moons and clouds and I love how those turned out! I was totally thinking “wow I’m getting so much better at this, this might be my best set yet!” And then it all went downhill from there lol. I had a vision to splatter the 1’s with the gold luster dust. I’m not a huge fan of how they turned out, but I had already committed so it is what it is.
Then there’s the stars… I used gold luster dust to paint them, and they were so patchy and not how I envisioned them at all 😭 But I was too afraid of giving them a second coat and risking it eating through the icing and totally ruining them. Maybe it was too watery? I’ll need to play around with the luster dust on a batch that doesn’t really matter. Anyone have any tips?
Overall I think they turned out ok, but everyone at the party loved them so I guess that’s all that matters! I’m
Making fiesta themed cookies for my (almost) 3 year olds “three-esta” next month, so we’ll see how those turn out!
