Sunday Sweets For Cookie Cutter Week

It's Cookie Cutter Week, Sweets fans, but I'm here to show you how cookie-cutter cookies can be anything but "cookie cutter":

(The Cookie Confectionery, hobby baker)

Eeeee! SO CUTE.

I love this hand painted watercolor style:

 (The Ginger Bites, Louisiana)

Plus let's hear it for rainbows, which are the only way you'll ever see orange on a Christmas cookie. ;)

I actually thought these were separate puzzle pieces at first!

 (Cookies By Lindsay)

SUCH a cool design, and a clever way to level up a standard heart cutter.

I'm a sucker for non-traditional holiday colors, so have some blue-hatted Santas:

 (Angela's Sweets, Russia)

... made from simple star cutters!

Now some bright purple-and-teal winter wear:

(Di Art Sweets, Bulgaria)

See the little heart buttons on the owl scarves? Those are my favorite bits.

We've got to have some classic Grinch green and red, though:

(K is for Kookies, Texas)

I admit it, the Jim Carrey version is a must-watch every year for me. John and I regularly describe things as, "joyful AND triumphant," and ask  "...but what will I WEAR?!" when invited to things. We're a hoot.

You know what else is classic? 

Santa's milk and cookies:

 (Mulberry T)

How adorable is this?! Now I want to find little milk jars and fill them up with tiny milk & cookie cookies! Although I'd use real chocolate chip cookies, because chocolate.

Remember how I thought the heart cookies were puzzle pieces? Well here's an actual cookie puzzle, but with the most unusual and clever pieces:

(Corianne's Custom Cookies, online tutorials)

Ingenious! This way you never have that heart-breaking moment of breaking Santa's face; you just devour it little by little. :D Such a cute gift idea, too.

There are so many gorgeously painted cookies out there, but these made me laugh, so...

(Torty VIZ, Slovakia)

As a Floridian, that's my face anytime it's below 60 degrees, haha.

Also as a Floridian, I've got to show some love to the Mouse!

(You Can Call Me Sweetie, Miami)

I think those peppermint swirls steal the show for me; I love the shading! Although the string of lights are a close second with that subtle glow.

And finally, these snow-globe cookie creations made me gasp:

(Lucie Bakes, Vancouver)

Look at that incredible sugar glass! I'd never have thought to pipe on top of it like that, wow. Just stunning.

I hope these made you smile! Have an extra sweet Sunday, my friends.

Hang on, there is ONE classic Christmas cookie I didn't feature, let's see if you recognize it from just the cutter:

 A Christmas Story Cookie Cutter

And it's only $8!

A Literal Fallacy

Chrystal brought in two photos for her friend's birthday cake, and asked the baker to put one pic on either side of the 32.

Which is exactly what the baker did:

::sigh::

Mickey and Minnie would like to welcome you to your post-apocalyptic vacation:

Because nothing puts the "get-away" in an "AHH, GET AWAY!!" quite like a giant bleeding rock tumor, am I right?

*****

Since the time of the Carrot Jockeys we've all suspected wreckerators have a... unique... relationship with icing carrots - but that's a fallacy!

Sorry, I spelled that wrong. I meant, "That's a phallus - see?"

Seriously, look at that texture. TELL ME THAT'S NOT INTENTIONAL.

And speaking of texture: friends, minions, countrywomen... what in poo-smeared blazes is this?!

o.0

Well, on the bright side, at least we finally found a wreckerator who gives two sh*ts.

Thanks to Chrystal H., Mary Beth A., Andi C., & DeLoris N. for wiping out the competition.

P.S. I found a shirt for today's carrot baker. Because if you can depend on Amazon for anything, it's for oddly specific t-shirts:

"Just A Girl Who Loves Carrots"Tee

It comes in all colors at the link, in case purple's not your jam.
