Packaged cookies that will be for sale. |
I'll be selling these sweet double decker owl and squirrel cookies this weekend at the Trinity Artisan Fair. I found the owl cutter just a week ago at Cost Plus World Market for .99 and couldn't wait to put it to use.
It took two batches of dough and a full day to make 26 of these large cookies but I still think it was worth it. I love how they turned out and am especially pleased with the cohesive Fallish (is that a word?) color palette.
I still have many more cookies to make for the sale that's just days away so stay tuned....
If you would like to attend the sale, here are the details:
Trinity Artisan Fair: Saturday, November 9, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, November 10, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Kempton Hall at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral (147 NW 19th Ave, Portland, Oregon)
Admission: 2 cans of food or $2. Benefitting The Cathedral Arts Program and Trinity Outreach Food Pantry. The Fair features local, professional artisan crafters sharing their original work in fine jewelry, knitted and fabric wearables and accessories, fused glass, quilts, toys, decor and much, much more! Meet the artisans in person and purchase items for gifts or to enjoy for yourself.
And, here's how I made the owl cookies:
Bake an equal number of round base cookies and owl cookies. |
Flood and fill the base cookies and set them aside to dry. |
Use and edible ink marker to outline your design. |
Outline and flood the remaining section with blue icing. |
Let the blue dry a bit before adding white icing for the eyes. I used a #1 tip and flood consistency icing. Be careful not to pipe on too large a dot because it spreads. |
These look great! Happy Birthday Heidi, I hope you had a great day and enjoyed your birthday dinner :). Can't wait to taste some of your baked goods when I'm in town!
