Lollipop cookies!! Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuummm!!!

I will share with you some tips so you can create some cute lollipop cookies on your own! I will start from here because I'm sure we all know the basic steps to make sugar cookie dough :)
1. Prepare the cookie dough
2.Let cookie dough cool inside the fridge. This way you will have a better management when cutting your desired shape.
3.Spread the dough, making sure that you will have space to insert the lollipop sticks.
4.Place lollipop sticks right after you cut each cookie, be careful don't rush...you don't want them to stick out of your cookie!
5.Preheat your oven at 350*C
6.Place cookie lollipop on baking pan, 1" away from each other (because they will expand a little bit)
7.Let them cool ....and let the fun begin!!

Tiny wall...

OK! so you waited enough time for the cookies to cool off...now use your icing to make a tiny wall around the cookie...like you see in the pic, you will end up with an icing ring because of the shape of the cookie....this tiny wall will allow you to apply the first coating and keep it from running all over the place. Your icing needs to be thick so stays in place!! but smooth enough to run easily when you're piping it :)

Apply the first coat...

When you make sure the ring is dry you can start applying the first coat. You want to have a smooth/liquid-ish icing, but not water like because it will run over the ring and you will stain the cookies...and you can imagine the mess you will make trying to keep the icing inside :D so keep it a little thick and help yourself spreading it around with a toothpick if you need to.

Realaxing time :)

 This is how they look when you apply the first coat ... all you have to do now is let them relax. A few hrs. will be fine, but if you feel more comfortable you can let them dry overnight. I recommend to leave them drying over night when the first coating is white because if they're not and you apply another color on top they tend to suck the moist from the new application and you will end up with a blurry effect on your final design...sometimes is not nice looking :(

Swirlssssss!!!!!!!

Once the first coat is completely dry...you can add your decor!...The customer wanted swirls...so I took the orange icing, you need to make sure that your icing is a little thicker like a toothpaste consistency so it won't go around (bleed over the cookie) and if you want to add sugar crystals (like I did on these ones) you have to do it right away before it dries.

Then just let them dry for like hr. and check on them...the icing needs to be really hard before you wrap them or you will loose your design...try anything on them like polka dots, stripes or write your name on them!! Have fun :)

Almost ready to travel...

Once you make sure they are dry...you wrap them up in a clear cello bag and tie really really hard so no air will come in and they can keep fresh!! add matching ribbon and they're ready to go!!! These traveled all the way to NC.

What a cute idea!!

 Here's a pic from the party...don't they look great!! These were made for a Bday party with a Hot Pink and Orange theme. The centerpieces look like so much fun!!

Thanks to my sweet customer Stephanie from NC for sharing this eye candy :)

Say I Love You...

For those who think wrapping a gift it's just to cover up whats inside...think again!! Just a few simple touches will make a big difference...and a lasting impression :)

I used a Tiffany blue wrapping tissue paper (the one I use for on my etsy shops) and a small piece of ribbon ( no tape involved) and a little note from one of my Hello Kitty stationary sets...we all have these simple things at home!!! Try it :)

Keep the chic vibe going with cute pattern ribbon!!.. I used polka dots to match the cookie designs :)

A little bling...

I wanted to make it look a little more special...so I added silver edible dust to just to of them !!
Once they are completely dry, you take a small brush, cover it with a little bit of the dust and apply on top of the cookie...as much as you want!!  then let it set for a few mins. at least and you're ready to wrap it!!

A Sweet Treat I made for my mom

I baked just 4 for her...beacuse if I send her 50..50 she will eat on her own!!! :)

So since it was her Bday..I decided to make a Hello Kitty face, because she is in Mexico but she says that whenever she sees a Hello Kitty she thinks about me!...then of course a little cake and a pretty gift...and her initial on one of them!! They're prob on their way to Mexico now!!

Hello Kitty Theme Party

 Over the weekend I worked on a Hello Kitty order, from a very nice young customer from CT. She was going to surprise her friend with all of these for her BDay...don't we all want a friend like that. Check some of the sweet treats (it was a lot) all in hot pink, black and polka dots - tres chic-

This is how they looked when they were wrapped and ready for the party!! I loved them :)

This order also had white chocolate Hello Kitty faces lollipops...I made the cake pops using the same mold...you can only tell once you bite into them!!  

These are great for any Girlie type of party...They came out bigger than what I expected!! They will look great at the Candy buffet, since they stand on their own.
