Boo's Choc-a-Block Cookies


From the Disney magazine issue 8. TRIPLE chocolate cookies. Melted plain chocolate incorporated in the mix with milk chocolate and white chocolate chunks. Pity the white chocolate can only be seen inside, should have put some ontop instead of mixing them in with the mixture as the recipe stated. Oh well, good reason to make them again, so delicious.


Second attempt:
 Much better looking but just as tasty as the first attempt.

Mike Wazowski Monster Cookies

From the Disney magazine issue 5; Mike Wazowski Monster Cookies. Plain vanilla cookies decorated with piped and run out royal icing.

Simba's Perfect Peanut Brittle

From the new Disney magazine (issue 5). Simba is the baby lion from the lion king. Here peanuts are covered in syrup which hardens to form the brittle which is broken into managable pieces.
This is before I snapped it into pieces. If you love peanuts and toffee (as i do) you'll love this.

Eeyore's Crunchy Nut Cookies

From the new Disney magazine (issue 4). Made with syrup and hazelnuts. The original recipe used pecan nuts but i didn't have any and love hazelnuts the best anyway. Very delicious, i guess Eeyore likes them too!

Mater's Rocky Road

From the new Disney Magazine (issue 4). Mater is the truck from cars. Chocolate chip and syrup cookie base covered with a mixture of marshmallows, glacé cherries and chocolate. Lovely if you have a sweet tooth.

These are from the new Disney Cakes and Sweets publication. Vanilla cookies, cut and embossed with the free gift from the magazine, decorated with piped soft peak royal icing to form the outline then flooded with runout royal icing in the Mickey Mouse colours.

Halloween Cookies

One each of the Halloween cookies just to show the shapes. Ended up with about 50 after using the chocolate cookie recipe in the cake decorating magazine (issue 3). Very easy to roll and cut but cookies were too soft for me, i like a bite and a crunch to mine. No time for icing to decorate as a last minute decision, we don't 'do' Halloween usually!

Butterfly and Cupcake Iced Cookies



These biscuits were just extras after making the cookie stacks earlier. The butterfly and cupcake biscuits were made with the cutter that came with the cake decorating magazine. Instead of run out icing I rolled out ready to roll white regal icing very thinly using two (clean) plastic rulers as depth guides and my fantastic mini silicone rolling pin. Pink paste colouring was added to the white icing for the top of the cupcakes. They were finished off with soft peak royal icing in white for the bottom of the cupcakes and the butterfly bodies, and red for the 'cherries'. The pink edible glitter that came with the magazine was used on two of the butterflies and I bought blue, (from a lovely lady with a stand in Hartlepool indoor market) for another two butterflies, and hologram white, used on the top of the cupcakes. The second photo is a bit darker to help show the glitter better.

Wedding Cake Cookie Stacks



From the new cake decorating magazine issue 21. I just had to try these, they look so special. The originals were pink but I chose to make variations of blue as I'm not a pink person. Only took two days, one to make the biscuits and flowers, the other to ice and assemble. I used the cutters I had, not having the five petal flower cutters and I think it has worked well. Oh and I bought some edible glue! to stick the flowers on.

Easter Biscuits





My first attempt at runout icing. Took me all day to pipe outlines and fill each section but well worth it, very tasty. The idea came from the new cake decorating magazine, theirs were butterflies though.
