I was asked by my little girls teacher to make a cookie cake for their end of the school party Friday. I need some suggestions as to what to put on the cookie. Any ideas??? It will be for a first grade class so I want it to be cute for them.

I looked through the Wilton Cake Decorating 2007 yearbook for some ideas, and this is what i found.
On page 8
lenty of Fun to go Around...to change it up a little, you could make children's faces randomly throughout the cookie cake, & using different colors of buttercream icing you could make crayons, globe, outside playtime items, lunch items, books. You could write on the cake: Way to Go!
Hope you like my idea.

Thank you so much for the idea. And yes to the other question, it is a large cookie. I'm not sure why we call them cookie cakes here, but we do. Must be a Alabama thing. (tee hee)
We call them cookie cakes her too because we make them thicker, mine are like an inch and a half when I close the box the icing squishes some, but people love them. What about frosting it and putting a FBCT on it, I have yet to try it but I bet it would work. I have one in my photos but just with happy birthday on it.
I thought about a Frozen Transfer and I've done them several times, just not on a cookie, but I don't know what to stick on there. I thought about a little school building in the background with little stick kids at the front, running away from the school and putting "We're out of here" on there. I'll have to do it this evening, so I guess I better make up my mind.LOL
yummmm, i have been making cookie cakes for years. I had always just made 1 layer and then decorated the top.... but then I thought..oooo what would be extra yummy! A double layer cookie cake!
I usually put a thinner layer if frosting in between 2 layers, and people want to know my recipe because it makes the cookie soooo soft.
If I have to do something last minute for my sons daycare and only have 20 mins. this is what I do. Sometimes I dont even decorate the top, then I just put a little more frosting on the inside.
PS. I know I know, Sometimes i cheat and use the can frosting and the frozen breakaway cookie. in a matter of mins the cookie cake is done!
hummm, never thought about a double. That sound gooooood!!!! I have a good cookie recipe too that makes a ton! Thanks for the idea!!
I would go on google and look for first grade coloring pages and see what you get inspired!
There are a lot of themes, you could go with for FBCT. I love the ones where there are a lot of kinds. I used one for teacher appreciation day there were 5 kids holding a frame it was really cut.
You could just add the kids class names and a good luck or congrats or something. Just like "sarahe" mentioned all kinds of school supplies around a picture.
Good Luck.
Thank you everyone for your ideas. I did do the Sunshine face considering it was late and I was tired. Another cake took me longer than I thought. Of course the kids loved it..... they just wanted to eat it. LOL I can't figure out how to attach the pic or I would.
My daughter is in 1st grade and they just started learning to tell time.
You can do a face of a clock on an apple or blackboard with..."Time to have summer fun!"
