2013 Holiday Give Away: Christmas Light Cookie Cutter

Hello everyone! To get into the holiday spirit, I have decided to do several give a ways this season! The first give away is a brand new, super cute, Christmas cookie cutter. It's a little Christmas lightbulb! However, you could turn it upside down and make a super cute snowman face. The bulb part would be the snowman face and the "electrical part" could be the snowman hat! And I think you could even make bowling pins out of it too! (It's too bad that I didn't buy one for myself. I guess I'll have to go back and get another one).

The Rules: To be entered to win, simply sign up to follow our blog; one winner will be chosen from our blog followers. The winner will be announced on Black Friday - Friday, November 29, 2013. Please make sure to check back so that we can get the winner's shipping information! 

Go all the way to the bottom of our blog to sign up to follow us!

 Stay tuned for more holiday giveaways! 

Thanks for visiting!

What can you do if you can't find a Ninja Turtle Cookie Cutter?

 (Updated: 1-23-14)   Here is the website that sells TMNT cookie cutters. Just click the link and you can buy your cookie cutter! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Cookie Cutters

So if you still want other ideas about what to do for TMNT cookies,  here are they are.

It has come to my attention that you can't get that Teenage Mutant Ninja turtle cookie cutter from WarpZone anymore. And so, I thought I would post some pictures of cookies that you can make  without a TMNT cookie cutter. Hope this helps! I found all of these cookies on Pinterest - plus, they are all being sold by people on Etsy, so you could always order them on Etsy as well! I'm posting the links to their cookies as well.

This lady is using other cookie cutters to get this effect. I'm thinking that you could use a balloon cookie cutter and turn it sideways, and have the balloon tails be the TMNT mask tails. Or you could possibly use a fish cookie cutter and turn it on its side for the same effect.

This picture does show the TMNT cookie cutter that I used, but it also shows the pizza, numbers,  and sewer cover cookies that you could make.

You could ice your square cookie, cut out the Ninja Turtle face on paper, and then trace that image onto the white iced cookie. Or you could pin prink the outside edge with a pin onto the iced cookie.



Good luck!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Cookie Tutorial

I bought the cookie cutter from WarpZone. Here's a direct link to the TMNT cookie cutter that goes along with this tutorial. TMNT cookie cutter

Well, it's finally here! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Cookie Tutorial that I have been meaning to post for about a month. First we moved, and then we had to move again. (And moving two times in two weeks, just really wore me out). I'm starting to get some energy back and so here is the tutorial that I know some of you have been waiting for. Enjoy!

 Here are all the Americolor gel colors that I used on my cookies. The color on the bottom row, in the middle, is pink.

I decided to break off the tail of the mask. I knew that it would break off in the cookie bags. So I decided to go without. Although, they are super cute with the tail.

To get started, outline the face, the mask, and the eyes.

 Now outline the mouth in black. 

Choose your color for the mask and fill the mask in. 

You are ready to flood your cookie with green royal icing. After that, fill in the white for the eyes. Remember to let the white dry for several hours. Then fill in the black for the eyes. And don't forget to add a little black mark under the eyes and to the side. That mark is important because it helps define the turtles face.

So I decided that I didn't like the mouth that I put on the turtles earlier, so I filled the mouth in with green and just did my own little mouth. It doesn't look quite as ninja turtley, but that's ok. They served their purpose well in Kindergarten.

Yummy cookies for yummy kids!
