I am nervous to show you these cookies.
They are based on this design .
Please please please go and look at the link so you dont think I am losing it by making these cookies for a thirteen year old girl.
(The link shows up a bit pink on my screen, but Alicia confirmed that the party supplies are definitely red.)
Its all very cute and hip and fun and I just hope the cookies fit in with the decor.
So now we can move forward.
Thank you for your participation.
I also made a big cookie that will go on top of a white cake. Its over six inches across!
Since I had NO clue how to write out M-I-R-A-N-D-A in that particular font, I had to search for it on dafont. com.
Even though I practiced quite a bit, I still had a tough time getting it just right. I have lots of room for improvement here!
Happy Birthday Miranda! You Rock! Hope your party is Rockin'!
(sorry. couldn't resist)
I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe and my favorite icing recipe.

Oh! Did you happen to notice that my Olympic Cookies are no longer here? Well I sorta neglected to get permission to use the very trademarked symbol of the rings.
So! Had to take them down. If you are going to start crying and lose sleep tonight and possibly snap at your spouse in frustration because you cant see them anymore, have no fear. I still have them up on my personal flickr stream. ;)
I think that they turned out great!

Are you kidding!!?? Those are amazing. I want those for my birthday...but I'm not 13 anymore :) Awesome as usual!!!

Holy Moly... these are freaking aweomse... I've tried, tried, tried, and tried again... I am not good at sugar cookie decorating :(. You are a Godess! lol - Did you use stencils?? Or trace images/font onto the cookies before piping??
Thanks for sharing as always :) It's a pleasure to my eyes!!

OMG, your script is absolutely fabulous. YOU ROCK GIRL!
p.s. I was waiting for someone to say something about the Olympic Ring cookies. I didn't because I didn't want to appear like a nit-picker. Hope it wasn't the IOC that you heard from!
Posted by: Paula | Jun 03, 2010 at 06:52 PM
Radical rockin' cookies! Well done Amanda!
Posted by: Renee | Jun 03, 2010 at 06:53 PM
As soon as I got the email notification, I just KNEW it was for Miranda!!!!!!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All my kids are looking at this, and as soon as we saw the red cookie w/ the guitar, we all let out a big gasp AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!
Haha..now my daughter understands why I was so excited. She said that she doesn't want anyone to eat them!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!
They look sooooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to figure out how I'm going to plate them!!! LOL! But, my friend is making a white cake w/ fondant, and I know it will go perfect with your cookies!!!!!
I just hope I do the cookies justice by displaying them right!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nervous to show them? I'm nervous now to ever show my work again, after seeing these.
I bow to thee, oh Kopykake-less cookie goddess.
Posted by: Gail | Jun 03, 2010 at 07:21 PM
1) I'm glad I got to see the Olympic cookie tutorial before it had to be taken down.
2) These cookies ROCK! heehee! But seriously, they are really awesome and I'm sure she will love them.
3) That little girl has a pretty awesome name! I'm just sayin'... ;-)

You are the Rock Star of Cookies! The guitars are my very favorite! So perfect!

I'm sure the birthdy girl will love her ROCKSTAR cookies! I am in awe of your re-creation of such a crazy font. Your work is truly amazing!

You rock!! Those are fabulous!!! What will you come up with next?
Posted by: Libby | Jun 03, 2010 at 07:41 PM
Your work would be amazing in royal icing. But in confectioner's sugar glaze?? Insane. Absolutely insane. I look forward to your posts most out of all my Reader collection.
I saw a 1S tip in one of your photos. Is that your favorite one for the detail work? Do you have "tips" for doing detail work for us amateurs out here?
Posted by: Jenny | Jun 03, 2010 at 07:49 PM
Pretty sure you are the rock star here ... I can't even do letters in my own personal font, let alone copy one. Fantastic job.
Posted by: Stephanie | Jun 03, 2010 at 08:02 PM
You JUST learned how to write that font that Miranda is in? It is PERFECT!! Seriously, it looks great. Again, blown away by your talent.
And....I had no idea you had to get permission to use the Olympic rings! Did some big bad Olympic people come yell at you??
Posted by: Jessica | Jun 03, 2010 at 08:06 PM
Oh my goodness, I can't believe those cookies! They are absolutely awesome! You are a master at what you do..I couldn't even begin to make those cookies! lol Good job, Amanda!
Posted by: Amy | Jun 03, 2010 at 08:31 PM
Amanda, these are phenom love!!!! They look sooo great! You did a fantastic job on them!!
Posted by: Kristin Morris | Jun 03, 2010 at 08:38 PM
This is the "orderer" of the Olympic cookies :) We had our "Last Day of School" Olympic themed party today and the cookies were a hit! All of my little 2nd grade Olympians got a medal and a cookie after their competitions and they were thrilled! Your work is amazing and I love reading your blog! Too bad the trademark police made you take them down! :)
Posted by: Steph | Jun 03, 2010 at 08:59 PM
I just can't stop staring at the photos!!!!!!!
Just amazing, Amanda!!! Just the font alone is incredible!!!
You know I have five kids, right? LOL...and all their bdays are coming up after hers. :)
Posted by: Alicia | Jun 03, 2010 at 09:32 PM

Posted by: faithy | Jun 03, 2010 at 10:15 PM
Awesome Amanda! Gosh, it must have taken you ages to write in that script!!! Ha ha ha. I wish I was your next door neighbor so that I could come over and eat your mistake cookies - assuming you ever have those. I usually have at least a couple that end up being set aside. Hugs to you!
Posted by: susan | Jun 03, 2010 at 11:02 PM
They are amazing. Did you really get asked to take down the Olympic cookies?
Posted by: Lorie | Jun 03, 2010 at 11:12 PM

Posted by: genny | Jun 04, 2010 at 07:03 AM
You ARE a Rock Star!!! Wow, Amanda! I can't get over that font! And the guitar! Just a perfect star would have sent me right over the edge and your stars are perfect, too! Totally awesome, dude!
Aaaannnd, I am behind on my email, so I did panic just a bit when I clicked on the link to the Olympic cookies and it said "page not found." I thought your whole site was down and I was going to have a nervous breakdown! ;) OK...I'm now off to stalk your flickr page.

Your cookies always turn out amazing!! Thanks for commenting on my post, but I have to clarify something. The two girls who didn't end up liking the cookies are my PICKIEST eaters!! The rest of my family LOVED them!! Thanks for your inspiration!!
Posted by: Misty | Jun 04, 2010 at 03:43 PM
Oh My God these are great--how in the world did you manage that font??
I bow down to you..
Posted by: Lisa Olson | Jun 04, 2010 at 04:04 PM
Wow, you duplicated the design perfectly! My favorite cookie is the one with the guitar and her name:)
Posted by: Sue | Jun 04, 2010 at 07:35 PM
I don't even know what to say about these cookies. There are seriously no words to describe the awesomeness of these. As someone who is struggling right now with just plain 'ol writing on a cookie, I bow down to you and your fancy font! I mean wow. Just WOW.
Posted by: Sarah | Jun 04, 2010 at 10:11 PM
How did you get the fonts so nice freehand? My friend had wanted me to make cookies with a big fancy W on them for her wedding but my samples were so awful im going to have to do something else. Any tips on how to do it better?
Posted by: Chrisgelica | Jun 04, 2010 at 11:10 PM
You are SO TALENTED. I love your blog and look forward to your updates! Cookie making is exhausting for me so I'm really thankful that you update so frequently. You are awesome!

Posted by: Jen @ My Kitchen Addiction | Jun 09, 2010 at 07:47 PM
DO you have tips on getting the stars to have such sharp edges? And do you have a tried and true method of getting crisp edges with the royal?? Please respond to me via Email! I googled "star cookies" and your blog came up, I am working on making Stars for a bake sale that represent my husband's nick name "bally star".
Posted by: ashley | Jun 10, 2010 at 03:11 PM
It's incredible that you can't show your olympics cookies !! and BRAVO (en français dans le texte :-) ) for your Rock Cookies !! I can't imaging the time you need to write "Happy birthday 13" !!

Close-up of our 4" Rock Star cookies. These were part of the order for an employee recognition event. Simple design but the wording is always slightly challenging. I really started to like the color combo near the end!
