Halloween Cookies

I'm a self-taught baker and have done designer cookies for several years.  I started out baking cookies to treat the gang at work on holidays.  I got better and better at it and people were telling me, "These are wonderful, you need to go into business."  So, I took them up on it and started Sharon's Edible Art.  Now it's a paying hobby.  I try to design "outside the box" by trying different ideas to bring more 3-D images into the cookies.  I live in Carlsbad, NM.

Halloween designs.  The Fashion Pumpkin has separately baked bat sunglasses, hat, and flower.  The mummy is made using an egg shape cookie cutter, then covering it in strips of cookie dough and baking it as one.  The ghost is 3-D.  I used a cookie cutter, cut out the dough, then laid the cookie over a paper towel roll that had been cut in half and covered with parchment paper.  These are more fragile and need to cool down in the same shape they were baked and they need to be completely dry before attempting to ice. 

The second picture has the Halloween flip flops with Cake Mate cake decorations on top.  Jumbo stars and Halloween sprinkles were also used.
