May the Fourth be With You

Star Wars Mickey Ears - Sweet Jenny Belle - Decorated Cookies

The fun set of cookies that I made this year after my husband was very vocal about wanting treats for the day!


Are you celebrating May the Fourth be With You? We love Star Wars and can't wait for the next movie to come out. My Star Wars cookies are always a hit and so popular in my Etsy store. The Death Star cookies are a favorite of mine. Have you seen my blog post on how to make them?


Aren't these Princess Leia cakepops fun? The fun addition of the pink bubblegum (fondant) seems to give her such a careless attitude, it cracks me up.



And here's a snap of my whole Star Wars set. Are you doing anything fun? What's your favorite Star Wars related treat? Hope the force is strong with you today and popping in your favorite episode!

How to Make the Death Star


I had a request for a Star Wars cookie set. At the same time, I've become completely crazy about creating these short video tutorials. Do you want to learn how to do my Death Star cookie?
It's easy and fun!


Part One


Part Two

Let me know if you try to make one! 

XO,

The Birthday Dalek


Dr. Who - Birthday Dalek - Dairy Free Cookie - Sweet Jenny Belle

A few weeks ago a dear friend of mine placed an order for cookies.
Dairy free cookies.
Dairy free cookies with a Dalek on them.
A what?

The dairy free dough was the first hurdle, but I was excited to add a new dough to my bakery. After some research, I tried the recipe at My Wise Mom (10.14.15 - This site was up and running yesterday, but today it is down. I'm going to leave the link up in the hopes that it will be up soon!)

The dough comes together pretty much like a traditional sugar cookie dough, but with a vegan butter substitute. I would recommend prepping the dough the day before you want to make cookies to give it lots of time to rest in the refrigerator.

The dough is quite soft and warms quickly. I don't recommend using a delicate cutter for this one - I had about 1/4" spread out even with lots of chill time. Choose a basic cutter and you will have happier results.

After baking the cookies (and eating one to make sure they were delicious - I have to check right?) It was time to figure out what a Dalek was. It comes from the show "Dr. Who" and I guess says "Exterminate, exterminate" quite a bit, based upon my feedback on Instagram and Facebook. I sketched out a rough idea and added a cupcake. It is for a birthday..

Here is the beginning phase. If you have lots of flooded dimension, it's important to give the icing time to set before you add an adjoining piece.

All done! Though my Dalek, does not proclaim "Exterminate!", rather he cheers you with a delicious treat and "Happy Birthday!"
