These cookies are a bit different then what I am used to making. Not only is the theme new, but I am sending them off to LA where the famous people are.
I feel hip just saying LA.
I'm so excited! And lame.
Do you know who Lauren Conrad is? Shes a gorgeous Laguna Beach girl who was on The Hills but now has her own clothing line and is a New York Times best selling author.
I'm sorry its so hard to see some of them.. I used a really pale pink and it just doesnt show up. :(
And doing white on white isnt the best for photography either.
(still hard to distinguish) This was one of my favs. I love mixing fonts. Can you even see that white LAUREN on there?? No? Well. You can on the cookie. I promise.
Anywho... I have no idea if these are ever going to been seen (or eaten!) by the actual Lauren Conrad, but I can sure pretend!
Did I mention I'm a fan?
Yeah. We have the same birthday. Except she is still in her twenties. And thin. And has great hair. But other then that its like we were separated at birth.
I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe and my favorite icing recipe.
I can see the white on white! And it is late and I am tired so really, that is something. :) Very nice job once again.

These are so pretty! I love the soft pink and the different fonts, I can see the white on white, it's great! I also like how you made some look like the books. I hope she gets to see them. Let us know if you hear anything!

Oh hey, the white and pink on white is cool!
K for reals, I meant to contact you about doing my son's bday cake (or cookies?) for his birthday last week but my MIL works with a lady who's done our cakes before and she (my MIL) wanted to get the cake for him from her this time, so I let her. Anyway - my hubs' bday is June 2nd and I'd love for you to do cookies for him! How much time do you need before the event? Cause I have NO idea what I want the cookies to look like :P
Posted by: Mandi | May 20, 2010 at 02:44 AM
Wow, again, amazing!!!!!
I wish I could see it in "real life"... :)

I love them all!!!! And I too love Lauren Conrad - she has the best hair, you are right!
Posted by: Jackiefo | May 20, 2010 at 09:26 AM
These are great! She'll love 'em (when I was working at the store, I got an order to LA for Nora Ephron and I was over the moon, you know, Nora Ephron? When Harry Met Sally? Oh my goodness, I'm so old and totally unhip.)

Posted by: Erica B. | May 20, 2010 at 10:35 AM
So do tell...how did you come up with this idea?? Or did someone order them? I think you do fabulous work and she would be lucky to get them! :)
Posted by: Kristin Smith | May 20, 2010 at 12:46 PM
those are beautiful! what devotion to LC you must have.
Posted by: tia @ buttercreambarbie | May 20, 2010 at 01:08 PM
So awesome! I hope she does get to taste them because if she doesn't she'll be missing out on something really spectacular. Well done, as always. Thanks for sharing!

Amanda, I am in awe. I try to write on my cookies, and just seem to have so little control.... I use a standard royal icing rather than your version - and I think I have used a #2 tip for writing (I use a #3 for my outlines/dams).... any smaller and the icing just doesn't want to flow, and even with #2 it seems tough. I wonder if I'm not thinning it enough? I use the same icing I would use with a #3 to do an outline.
I wish I could see some of the pale pink & white on white, but what I can see is just beautiful.
Posted by: Jill | May 20, 2010 at 05:53 PM
beautiful cookies, I'm sure LC will love them. I'm a huge fan of hers too! I cried a little when she left the Hills but then her clothes came out and I couldn't blame her.
Posted by: Kalle | May 20, 2010 at 05:56 PM
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I so need more information!!!! I mean who ordered these? Audrina? Brody?.... STEPHEN!!!!! I mean come on! Are these for a fan party at some random teenagers house, or are these headed to a book signing party for Lauren herself?!
I'm giddy as a school girl!!!
Good for you!
Let's hold hands, jump up and down, and squeal!!!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeee
Okay... back to being a thirty something MOM.
Bye.

Posted by: Maurie | May 20, 2010 at 09:26 PM

Posted by: shelly (cookies and cups) | May 21, 2010 at 07:33 AM
I loved watching the Hills and all of the drama that unfolded :) I haven't seen it since Heidi was morphed by a plastic surgeon!
I love the mixed up fonts on the cookies! Great job as usual Amanda!
Posted by: Katie | May 21, 2010 at 08:32 AM
How exciting!!! Yeah like the others tho I'm curious;) They are gorgeous cookies and the white on white is AWESOME!!!
Posted by: holly | May 21, 2010 at 07:06 PM
I'm w/Jill. I am totally in awe with how you write on your cookies. Seriously, do you have a mad case of carpal tunnel? Because I have tried to write on cookies w/ a #1, #2, and a #3 and I couldn't make any of them work! I thought I might pop a vein with that #1! haha It is just so hard and painful to make it happen! These are gorgeous! Do you freehand all your writing? You just make it look so perfect!
Posted by: Sarah | May 23, 2010 at 12:35 AM
it's happening--you're becoming famous! ah, and i can say i sorta kinda knew you when. :)
great designs--if i bend my head around to an odd angle, i can see the pale colors. :)
Posted by: grace | May 23, 2010 at 04:44 AM
great job! I can see the white on white and all the different fonts look so nice. Wonderful job as always!
Posted by: Grapefruit | May 25, 2010 at 05:00 AM
Fabulous cookies. Again. And you're getting into the big time! LA and Lauren! How very exciting. White on white is difficult to photograph, but I can see it!
