Simple Birthday Cookies

I got a last minute order for 

Birthday Cookies.

Since they were last minute,

I went with simple designs.

And it got me thinking

Every cookier should have 

simple cookie designs in their arsenal.

It is just smart thinking.

Simple cookie designs, that are easy to make.

Require few colors,

Can be created on short notice.

Using colored icing that you have in a 

always filled stock pile.

 

I have learned to keep simple colors on hand at all times.

 

That way when I get a last minute order...I am prepared,

I can take the order...and I have a happy customer.

 

I only work in a glaze icing, which stores very well, freezer,

refrigerator, and on the counter at room temperature, for days.

 

What colors do I keep in stock?

 

Black

White

Red (always better the longer it has to develop)

Blue

Green

Pink

Yellow

Brown

Using those simple colors, you can create great cookies

FAST!

You can mix them to get different colors.

You can mix in white to lighten

You can mix in black to darken.

So,

The next time you have some free time,

why not create a stockpile of colored icing.

 

And if you have the time,

create some standard cookie designs.

 

Designs that you can re-create 

 

QUICKLY.

 

What designs?

 

Birthday

Baby

Get Well

Flowers

Plaques

Anniversary

 

Simple designs for me, are cookies that have one color of a base 

coat, and simple details.

 

Add a bit of sanding sugar.

 

And a simple cookie becomes

 

 

"OMG, thank you...I love them" cookies.

 

So...here is my basic Birthday set.

 

I can bake as base coat them in one evening.

Wake up the next morning, add details

and deliver in the afternoon.

 

Start to finish, less then 24 hours.

 

 

Simple, yes, but the customer loved them

 

and  remember, THAT is the important thing!

 

 

These were for a 10 year old boy celebrating

his birthday.

Need them for a girl, change the colors!

For a baby, soften the colors!

A Teen, go Neon!

Over the hill, Black baby!

See...simple cookies...fast!
