Team Umizoomi Cookies
My projector came in handy when making these cookies. I cut out my own rectangular shapes from the cookie dough because I did not have a rectangular cookie cutter that was quite wide enough for bot. I used a flip flop cookie cutter for the other two.
I flooded the cookies with white royal icing and let them dry completely (overnight). The I outlined the character shapes in black with a PME tip # 1.5 using the projector images as a guide. Next, I flooded the sections with the appropriate colors. I added some remaining details in black. The only details I left until the next morning were the mouths and eyes. I waiting until the characters were completely dry to draw these with a black food dye marker. I used the FooDoodler brand of markers because I appreciate their fine tip for adding these smaller details. For the last step, I added a small spot of white royal icing onto the eyes.
The thin areas that I filled with colored icing became a cratering nightmare. These formed while the icing dried. I've made cookies similar to these (the Dr. Seuss cookies) so I had expected this. I pulled my scribe needle through the narrower sections in an attempt to prevent the craters from forming, but it wasn't 100% effective. I filled in most of the craters with icing after they formed with the same colored icing. It wasn't a perfect solution but it helped improve their appearance.

Minecraft Cookies
Steve, Creeper, TNT, and Pig.
The Minecraft characters are made up of pixelated blocks so I used my projector and projected a grid onto the cookies as a guideline. For Pig and Creeper, I used an 8x8 grid. For Steve, I used a 10x10 grid. And for TNT, I used a 16x16 grid.

Vintage Winnie the Pooh Cookies
My friend is having her first baby and although I wasn't able to make it to her shower, I offered to make her some cookies for it. She told me that her baby shower's theme was loosely based on a vintage Winnie the Pooh look, so I made the cookies to go along with this.
For these cookies pictured, I used the onesie cookie cutter from the Wilton Baby Theme Set. Winnie Pooh was the Dancing Bear from www.cheapcookiecutters.com and I also found the Honey Pot and Mini Bee cookie cutters at this site as well.
For the rattle, I was inspired by the style Oh Sugar Events' baby rattle. I followed her design but used different colors.
This was one cookie set where having a projector came in handy. I used it to project the polkadots onto the onesie and rattle to get a more precise pattern. I also used it to project my sketches of the honey pot, bees, and Pooh bear onto the cookies. I drew the black outlines on Pooh, Piglet, and the honey pot with a food dye marker once the icing was completely dry.
