Sugar Cookie Madness

Sorry for being idle again. I’ve just been so busy with work and all. 🙂 Anyway, these past few weeks I’ve gotten a lot of sugar cookie orders. So basically, I have a couple of designs I want to share on this blog. 🙂 Sugar cookies are nice for giveaways, seriously I’d give a cookie instead of a cupcake. It holds it’s shape better and it it’s pretty unique. You can see people everywhere giving out cake pops, cupcakes as their souvenirs. I’m really happy that I came up with this idea. With a couple of practices, research and reading baking blogs, although I’m still in the learning process of all the techniques and stuff, I’m quite satisfied with my work.

Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Elmo

Grover, Oscar the Grouch and Kermit the Frog

Angry Birds

Making sugar cookies in this kind of weather in the Philippines (humid) have been tough, especially in this wet season we’re all having. Not only it’ll take the icing to dry longer, it’ll have spots coming out, the only technique was to put then in an air-conditioned room and let them dry there. *sigh* If we’re experiencing a hot weather, or a not so humid weather then it wouldn’t be a problem. There were two options for this, put them in a low heat oven and let them dry – the downside: The cookie will harden, it won’t be as soft and chewy as I intend to, or in an air-conditioned room, both will have to use electricity so I chose option 2.

Customized Letter Cookies

I had fun making these cookies, in fact, I’m slowly adding more cookie cutters in my collection. I’ve recently purchased a car, locomotive and plane themed cookie cutters as well as a party themed which contains a cake, cupcake, present and party hat cookie cutters. 🙂 Just visit my Cupcakesinc byDen on facebook for inquiries.
