There are just some things that a KopyKake can't help you with. I thought about this ALL day yesterday.
Generally, I try never to make character cookies if I can help it. They are REALLY stressful. But when family asks...well *sigh* it's hard to say no.
Most characters aren't too too bad, but those Disney characters...well they are a doozie!
I have been stressing about these for over a week and have been very vocal about it. Actually, if I had kept my big mouth closed, I might have just let this set fade into history...
But since I didn't, and all my pals have been asking me about them, here they are...
Not AWFUL, but not as good as I wanted them to be. I guess there is a reason Disney animators make the big bucks. Your everyday average Josephine cannot do Disney {that would be me}.
When I was finished, they looked a little flat to me, and after a little trouble shooting session with a cookie friend, I added one little line that really made a lot of difference.
Take Rapunzel, for example. Her nose...it was fine. But as always, I could not leave it alone. I kept adding and adding, and as I did, the worse it got. So I just stopped, before I really messed up. Those noses are something else!
In the end, the important thing is that I tried, and that Jayda liked them. I always call it a success if a child instantly recognizes who the cookie is supposed to be.
I am just glad they are done and I can breathe a sigh of relief and re-take my monthly VOW to NEVER agree to another set of Disney cookies, NO MATTER how cute my itty bitty cousin is!
PS-I only make this type of cookie for family and close friends. I have heard Disney gets kind of mad if you sell their licenced characters, so reserve these for fun family projects.
