Silhouette Candy Box Cookie

Lovely, Ira! I am assuming this cookie was made for the 3-D challenge, or some other one? Per @Sweet Prodigy's challenge rules, can you please comment on why you selected this challenge and what you may have learned from it?  Thank you.

#34 Inside The Box

I made a silhouette cookie for a friend who lost her mother last month and that made me think of my own mom who passed away almost 4 years ago and her love of chocolate. That’s where my inspiration came from for this challenge, made myself a gingerbread cookie-candy box.

1. Top/Lid

I used Silhouette app to turned my mom’s picture into a silhouette and was done by projecting the picture on the cookie and I used medium consistency black icing, wet on dry technique with hand painting grey shading.

The roses are icing transfer and leaves are piped on.

2. Sides

I was curious with this Lambeth Overpiping technique and after doing some research I thought I would give it a try. I used round tip 1 & 2 to create the dimensions on the grey lines for 4 sides and tipless on the corners as you can see in the pictures.

I would sure do more of this technique as I went beyond my comfort zone using piping tips. Lol! But more than that, I have to say I’m in love with Lambeth Overpiping as it’s different and takes a lot of patients in working on it and I absolutely want to do it better.

I used stiff consistency for the greenery and medium consistency for the red and blue flowers.

3. Base

I hand painted the lines that shown in the pictures, I was going to do Overpiping but then I realized that it’s not going to work to do so. And I piped some dots to add a dimension.

4. Inside

I decided to use crackle effect for the inside part, so it doesn’t just look plain when it’s empty and painted the upper sides to compliment the looks.

I used Americolor Bright white, painted over the cookie dough and baked them as usual.

Hi Julia, I’m sorry it took me awhile to post the comment. I was in the middle of writing it when my husband asked for a help, and for some reason I lost my writing when I get back to it so I had to start over.I’m so sorry.

LOL - I see your comments now; thanks for all of the great detail! Seems like this one was a hybrid of a couple of challenges and you worked them together so beautifully!
