Teddy Bear Cookie Tutorial

I was recently asked by a friend if I would make some cookies for an upcoming baby shower.  Of course I said yes.  I had free reign with colours and design, so I had a lot of fun.

I made your pretty standard onsies, rocking horses, rattles, carriages and teddy bears.  It was the teddy bear that I thought I’d give a try writing out a tutorial.  I hope it helps.

What you need:

• brown flood icing
• grey detail icing (just a bit thicker)
• PME Tip #2
• PME Tip #1.5
• Black edible ink marker (I used Rainbow dust)
• Brown edible ink marker

Step 1: Outline the bear head.

Step 2: Fill in head.

Step 3: Outline and flood paws.

Step 4: Flood body and ears.

Step 5: Add arms

Step 6: Add great ear and paw details.

Step 7: Add small circle on face for nose.

Step 8: Use black edible market to add eyes, nose, mouth and paw marks. Use brown edible market and draw a line down centre of bear.  I used a wet brush to smudge line to give a softer look.  Add a dap of white to the eyes. Finally add scarf. 

Super simple and super cute!  This little guy makes a great addition to any baby set.

I also added little bears to the onsies to bring the set all together :)

As you can guess by the title of this post, a group of us got together to throw a virtual baby shower for Natalie from Nat Sweets.  And normally these are thrown prior to the baby arriving, but Logan just couldn’t wait and came a week bit early.  He is super precious and lovely and I can’t wait to meet him.  However for now, I’ll just have know him through pictures.

Baby Shower Cookies

A friend asked if I could make up some cookies for her friend’s baby shower and of course I said yes!  She sent me the invite and I used that as inspiration but also decided to try something different.  So I used my friend, Jill, from Jill FCS, which stands for Funky Cookie Studio and if you’ve seen her awesome cookies, funky works!

Jill makes the stick figure cookie so much fun.  Check out these St. Patty day cookies

So I thought I’d give it a whirl.

Here is my stick figure baby cookie take:

and then I used the invite as inspiration and made these, very simple cookies.  Here’s the e-vite:

and from that I made these:
