Lovin' from the Oven

It's been forever since I've posted in here, let alone entered a challenge, but I promised myself in 2024 to participate more and try new things. I LOVE Carmen Urbano's designs and knew I had to participate.  This is a franken-cookie (a winter sweater, a cookie pan, and a small rectangle).  I've wanted to use the baking/cookie pan cutter since purchasing at CookieCon, so this was my chance.  It's a sugar cookie base with fonndant for the sweater & mitts, modeling chocolate for the skirt (I embossed a tweed pattern to the skirt but it doesn't show up well in the photo).  I painted the baking/cookie pan with silver luster dust to achieve a metallic look, and used wafer paper to simulate baking parchment.  The apron is a small piece of an icing sheet, and I trimmed it with my first attempt using Sugar Veil for the lace and I am hooked! Can't wait to try more things with it.  The cookies caramel I softened and shaped and dotted with an edible pen.  The sugar pearl necklace was a challenge.  Applying them singularly with tweezers, trying not to get too much icing on them to make them stick, but enough to adhere there was a joy.  I had a lot of fun creating this "art imitates life" piece.

Excellent entry! So glad you took the challenge and you enjoyed it so much. 👏👏♥️

Lovely cookie.

How fun, Kelly, and what a thoughtful application of the right mediums in the right spots! One of the things that @Inspirations by Carmen Urbano emphasized in her challenge demo was the importance of purposeful selection of elements/materials, and you nailed that!

Is this your first challenge? In any event, I applaud you for jumping in with such energy in 2024. I can't wait to see what you do in our next challenge - it's also proving to be quite special, and I am really looking forward to @Manu biscotti decorati's unveiling of it in a couple of weeks.

Oh I love this, it looks amazing, well done!  It's really cute and creative! x

Soo cute! I love the pearl necklace and the apron!

Awww... Totally cute and wonderful dear @Sweet Doughsigns ❤️I love the cute idea with the mini cookies.

So. Much. Fun!  Great job.
