Me love... COOKIE! - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Here it is, my ultimate masterpiece for Foster's Fan Creations, the adorable confection that's baked to perfection! (OK, it won't exactly wow Art Director Martin Ansolabehere, but give an amateur a break).

First, we give her a nice, light golden tan:

Then, after applying the, uh, strawberry-flavored hair gel, chocolate flavored eye lashes and lip gloss:

We have this! (Sadly, the hair part broke soon after peeling her off the parchment paper. I think I put too much hair gel.)

Fortunately this was my first and only try (it took easily over an hour to prepare), and clearly improvements could be made. The face is too long, eyes slightly unequal, and teeth portion too short, for example.

Oh yeah, the hardest part was trying not to get the icing mixed up with the chocolate. I didn't want to risk cooling it and having it crack off, either. Need more practice... what should I do with the remaining ball of short dough I have..?

If anyone is curious the ingredients were:

short dough: 100% (weight percentages) flour, 66% butter, 33% regular sugar, 12.5% beaten egg
hair and tongue: Strawberry jam, store-bought
Line detail, hair clip and earring: melted dark chocolate
teeth, white of eyes: royal icing, fit for a princess (100% confectioner's sugar, 20% egg whites)

Great job!!

My own cookie-decorating skills could use some work, I'm hoping to take a local class soon.

Yes, indeed, control yourself on the sugar consumption, young master Mac

Mac-a-lacka · 04-28-2008, 08:19 PM

Too late...

SUGAR!

One Radical Dude · 04-30-2008, 09:30 PM

That looks too good to eat!

BluebottleFlyer · 05-01-2008, 09:51 AM

That's brilliant, man.

Though I imagine it would be a shame to have to eat it.
