It all started with a little Christmas in October. I ordered these amazing cordless mini airbrushes for my classes and my shop from TruColor. Bill called me to specify my order and mentioned me sending the new liquid colors for testing. You know how much I love colors! So new colors for testing is always fun. right?

I am so happy! My favorite cross shape cutter is now available in metal form by Ann Clark. It's nice and big (5.25 inch high), so there is so much we can do with it! It can be a gorgeous centerpiece for any Easter or Baptism set. This first set is decorated with lace pattern.
Here is the amazing cutter and a chocolate cookie made with it.

Honey gingerbread cookies are the best gift ever! People can keep them forever or just eat them.
The right packaging can elevate cookies to the next level. Even a simple cookie will look amazing in a beautiful box.
I love smaller boxes that can turn a few cookies into a cool gift.
Finding the right box is an eternal challenge. Now, in the 3D printer era this is much easier though.

When math meets cookies, something beautiful happens!
Before CookieCon2018 Ann Clark asked participants which cookie cutter shape they would like to see in the future. Rebecca, The Cookie Architect replied she wanted shapes that interlock to cover the whole surface. This seemed like a cool idea.

Do you remember the baby girl dress I posted earlier this year?
I designed that shape for Ann Clark, along with the baby romper shape:
Well, not exactly. This is my original design for the baby girl's dress. As the metal cutter making technology has some limitations we needed to alter my original design.

I created my first set in my new studio. I love my new place! I will still need to work on the lighting for the videos, but otherwise it's a perfect work space:
I made these cookies for a friend's birthday. I wanted to create a platter that is a nice display. I used a 4 inch round cookie for the center and I designed an extra shape that interlocks around this circle.

I have hundreds and hundreds of cookie cutters and I still use my favorite dozen most of the times. I wanted to create a set of cookies using only one cookie cutter shape to show everyone that we don't need a lot of shapes to create great variety.
These are 3 inch, six petal flowers and I created 12 different designs for it. I tested the set during one of my cookie classes and everyone had a Tundehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07487742454086060352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706425772796665072.post-71147853590692613922018-05-25T08:31:00.000-05:002018-05-25T08:31:00.421-05:00Baby girl dress cookies
If I design baby rompers, I have to have some baby girl dresses too, right? There is so many ways to decorate this little dress! I have to thank Ann Clark for making this awesome cutter for us.

For baby showers we usually decorate some onesie cookies. I was getting a little tired of it. I wanted something different, more cool. So I designed this romper shape and Ann Clark created the awesome cutters.

I love to play with different textures. This is my favorite Easter set from this season. It can also be a great party project, so I created a Cookie Project video for it so you can have some fun with friends and family.

You know how much I love TruColor products. I use them a lot and I post pictures of the cookies I make with them. When TruColor came out with the liquid colors they sent me a set and they also added a jar of their Red Annatto Airbrush color. They told me it was amazing and I had to try it. I made a mental note about it and put the jar to my stash to try it when I get a chance.

You probably already know Ann Clark and their wonderful cookie cutters, all made in the USA. I partnered with them and we created our first two shapes together: the paint brush and the palette. Combined with their rectangle and pencil cutters they make an awesome back to school set.

I always like to work with generic shapes. There is so much you can do with a square or an oval cookie! For this set I just grabbed an assortment laying around and started to play with them.
I always have icing transfer flowers in stock. Whenever I have some left over icing and some spare time I make some flowers. These little swirl roses are shades of Americolor dusty rose.

All you need is 3 sizes of heart cutters. My set has a 4 inch, a 3.5 inch and a 2 inch cutter. I use the big one for the top and the bottom of the box and the two others Tundehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07487742454086060352noreply@blogger.com0
