What do you all think about this cookie design for a "sophisticated" look? Maybe a birthday or an anniversary? (Click on the image and it will get slightly bigger.)

I visited Papyrus (an amazing card store with high-end cards, stationary, wrapping paper, invitations, etc.) today and these colors seemed to be everywhere. Thanks for your help.

I'm working on one now for Mother's Day in pinks where I swapped out the initial for the word "Mom" and added a few little flowers. I will try to post it later.

I will hopefully be making some prototype cookies by next week. I'll post pics when they are done.

Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions--they are very much appreciated! icon_smile.gif

That is really nice. That can be more your "manly" style cookie for like a grooms dessert table at a wedding or something. Its not too fru-fru or anything. Very classic icon_smile.gif

I love it. Very elegant. My question for you is...how did you design it? I'd love to make my own monograms like that.

Thanks,
Kim

I'm not sure if I understand your question. Are you asking me how I get the lines straight in the design? This is just a "drawing" I did with MS Word. If you mean on the actual cookie, I plan to use fondant for the stripes, so getting them straight would mean first cutting them straight and then letting them dry a bit before I attach it to the cookie. I hope my answer helps you. icon_smile.gif

Kim--

I used MS Word to design the cookie. I used to have MS publisher and it was a lot easier, but it can be done in Word. You have to use the Drawing tool bar and play around with the different functions.

I think it would also look lovely if you did the background in RBC and that way you could stamp the monogram and even the little design underneath it- give it a little more dimension. Or how about stamp it in , and then paint it with some liquid dust? That would add a little sheen to the monogram...very pretty! You could also use some sugarveil or chocolate to create really fancy and uniform monograms! icon_smile.gif

Thank you - that is indeed what I meant. Duh! I should have known it was fondant.

Thanks for the great suggestions cakesonoccasion! I was actually going to use chocolate candy clay for the background. And I had thought about stamping the scroll/design and painting it. great minds think alike! thumbs_up.gif

By the way, I am not very familiar with Sugarveil--is it fun/easy/satisfying to use?

Here's what I came up with for Mother's Day (remember to click on the picture for a better view). It still needs a bit of tweaking (which will get done when I make the actual cookie.). And speaking of making cookies...I better get baking! Thanks again for everyone's suggestions and comments! icon_smile.gif
