My father has passed on April 13th 2022 because of pneumonias, Covid, aspiration pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia. His birthday was July the 4th. I made some cookies for him.
He loved cokes, actually he took only cokes instead of water. He loved strawberries and chocolate. He loves GODIVA chocolate especially. I made strawberries, sliced oranges and chocolate with royal icing (transfer)
He was a businessman and talked almost only about business. Another business bag with his initial and necktie.
TIP: "90" and "Happy Birthday" was painted with gold but until the last minute I thought I was going to put silver on. If I put gold on, I should have piped with light brown colored icing for the letters.
TIP: The color of coke, I painted with gel color directly from the tube, no dilution with alcohol. I really don't know the paint is going to dry eventually but it was sticky a few hours after from my food dryer. To pack the cookie, I placed plastic wrap on the dark part, so that won't mess other parts and my fingers.
What a lovely tribute. Thank you for sharing all of the details. I'm so sorry for your loss. I too lost my father during the pandemic. It certainly adds another dimension of emotion. I hope you find peace in your memories (and cookies!) Much love.
