Tropical 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.

Tropical Cookies

Tropical theme cookie bouquet.  The pink flamingoes are straws that have been used as filler.  A Hawaiian shirt vase has been used for the base.  The sun is 3-D.  I made the cookie on the stick, then rolled a ball of cookie dough and baked it separate.  Once it was iced, I glued it on the sun rays with Royal icing.  The flip flop is also 3-D.  Artificial greenery can be purchased at the Dollar Store.  All the cookies have been baked on the sticks.  I prefer using Wilton's 8" and 11 3/4" lollipop sticks.
