My 5-year-old niece originally picked Clifford the Big Red Dog as her birthday party theme. All right, I thought, I have a dog cookie cutter, a dog house, a bone, a paw print ....

Now she's changed it to "Beauty and the Beast," a la Disney. Eek! All I can think of is a rose ... or a teapot cutter if I can find one. It's been a while since I've seen the movie.

Any thoughts, all you creative people out there?

Are the cookies for favors or a special bouquet from you?

Have you tried searching online for coloring pages from the movie, if you find a small picture of belle (maybe of just her face) you could probably make a cookie of that.

I only have nephews so I haven't seen the movie in a long time either (you could probably check it out from your local library).

I don't know where they are, but if you type in beauty and the beast cookies you should find a picture of the ones you find in the grocery stores. My niece's teacher had these at their play last year and they are cute. I would add red roses and a tea pots to them.

These are the ones I did when my daughter requested a Beauty and the Beast party for her 3rd birthday:

I also found a hand mirror cookie cutter and made those as well as princess crown cookies with each party girls name on it.

Here's the link for the mirror:

Good luck!

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I love the Mrs. Potts cookies!

Thanks for the cookie cutter shop link. I checked them out and have really have some great products. I never even knew they were out there!! Thanks again!

You're welcome. They're great to deal with, too. Good prices, fast shipping and good customer service.

Lumiere is a candelabra in the movie and Cogsworth is a clock so you could do those as well. The teapots are very cute but don't forget about Chip, the teacup, as well!
