Pumpkin Bouquet

The items used for this project- I have no idea where the silicone molds came from at this point! But the chevron texture mat is by Sweet Elite tools ( won at CookieCon). The cookies formed in the silicone molds were baked OUTSIDE the mold- I was afraid I might ruin them! I did not use leavening in the dough and used shortening rather than butter. Froze the shapes in the mold, removed them and froze again before baking. They held their shape perfectly. 

Excelente trabajo!

Congratulations on being our first entry!  And what a fabulous first entry it is!  I just love the ferns and the beautiful, rich colors you used. Such a well-composed work of cookie art!

Congrats on a gorgeous and ambitious first entry!

How nice, Kerri! I love it! It really deverses to be framed.

I love your creation. I was wondering if my silicone molds can withstand the oven. I have worked with larger molds and raw dough. I wonder how the smaller ones will bake on their own. 

Fascinating and beautiful!

I should edit my comment above to state that I did not bake the cookies in the silicone molds- I was afraid to ruin them! So I froze the dough in the molds, removed, froze again and baked. They held their shape well! I didn't use any leavening in the dough and used shortening instead of butter (I wasn't going to eat these anyway). 

Really amazing!!! Awesome job!

Super 

Beautiful!
