COPACABANA CASINO COOKIE THEME BASKET??????? I offered to donate a big basket of decorated cookies for an auction in my town for their casino night. In the past it has always been a western theme. This year (after I already opened my mouth) they responded with the above theme. I'm stumped. Any creative ideas that won't make me want to throw up at the mention of Barry Manilow?

It's a Casino-cards, poker chips, cherries, lemons, gold bars(all for the slots!) Money, and a Barry Manilow head.

I'd definitely pretend I didn't see the Copacabana part, and just concentrate on the casino theme!

Just don't forget that music and passion are always in fashion!

On second thoughts, go with the poker chips!

This is what came to mind:

Palm trees
coconuts
maracas
tropical drinks (in a coconut)
ruffled shirts in bright colors
poker chips
cards
dollar signs

Can't remember where I got them, but I have clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades cookie cutters. It was probably somewhere like a Michael's.

What about maybe doing a fiesta type colorful skirt and bikini top along with the above mentioned?
