I hope that it is not too late, but here is my Busy Christmas Eve elf, happily all done with his hard work wrapping presents and ready for Santa to load them on his sleigh.

Thanks so much, ClassicCookies by Parr! This is actually the Christmas tree cutter designed by Cookie Crazie, but using it as a cake cutter would be fun!  I hadn't seen to put presents on an actual cake cutter when I did this last year, but now I want to get one to make larger presents! Thanks for the thought!

 

Thanks, Tina! I really appreciate that!

Oh, thank you, Trilogy Edibles, Delightful Bitefuls and Mily!  There are so many incredible cookies to see and I truly appreciate you taking the time to comment on my elf cookie! Have a lovely holiday season and thanks again!

 

Did you make the cake first and the elf and the top presents separately on a waxed paper then stick them on or is it one piece? It has allot of depth. Humor me, I am not an expert with RI. But that is what I would have done with fondant and I would love to try this with fondant, if that is ok with you. T

 

Hi Tina! I would love to see your different version as it is fun to see what other people come up with when inspired by something they see !  I did my elf separately as an RI transfer just as you spoke of.  Separate from that, I piped my presents.  When the elf was dry I 'glued' him on top of the presents and into place. I just love RI transfers as they really help speed up the process when it comes time to actual 'cookieing'.  I hope that helps!

Oh RI Transfers, didn't mean to sound so nontechnical. I have so much to learn. I would be afraid to put so much work into something that seems so delicate. I haven't seen many tutorials about them except for small flowers. Something to consider!

Oh, thank you, Trinnette!  I really do appreciate that! There were so many great designs that came out of that cutter and it was fun to do mine.  Thanks again!

Tina, oh, you are not at all sounding nontechnical.    You work in fondant and, trust me, I wouldn't know your terms.  lol  I love Royal Icing transfers and as long as they are attached flush to your base cookie and do not have little pieces that can break off, you are good to go!

Thank you, Carolyn!  I will say that it takes me some time to design, but it is fun to do.  Thanks for taking the time to write your lovely comment! It is so very sincerely appreciated!

You are so sweet to say that,!  I love what you did too!  You always do such wonderful work. Thanks again!

Thanks, RebeccArchitect!  You always have such incredible designs!  It is so fun to see how you put things together, both designs and when you do your 3d work. The "Architect" name perfectly suits you!  Thanks again!
