The Carnival of Brazil

I took Rule #5, HAVE SOME FUN, to heart when selecting The Carnival of Brazil as the subject of this cookie challenge. This centuries old celebration focuses on music, dance, over-the-top costumes, extravagant floats, culture and food.  This was a fun excuse to 'edit' heart, circle and oval cookie cutters to create costumes, and the sanding sugar makes the samba costumes sparkle!

Hi, @Adria, you didn't upload your images in this comment properly so they are both showing as broken. Can you try uploading them again so we know to what you're referring here. Thanks! (P.S. Such a fun set!)

Great! Thanks for the detail shots!

Love the colors and all the details of this set!!

What a super fun set of cookies this is!  You can just feel the energy of carnival! Your bikini designs, with their strategically placed sprinkles are spectacular. However, the show-stopper is definitely the woman's head/headdress. The extra dimensionality you created by stacking the cookies is so clever, and I adore the headdress design.  Really well done!
