Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Gamer Blamer

When its your own kid requesting a specific type of treat for their birthday, the results aren't always pretty, but at least you get a big hug from the birthday boy.  Deuce turned 9.  NINE!  I can't quite wrap my head around that. I still think of him as the blues clues obsessed little cutie that sang with wild abandon anytime he saw a paw print.  He likes video games now (sigh), so we celebrated with a game truck with all of his buddies.  He designed this cake and cookie combo, and while its not the best looking cake around, it will be one of my favorites.  All the kids took home a game remote cookie, and I'm are parents are still cursing me for their black teeth!  Happy Birthday Buddy.

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Xbox console

I actually made this xbox console and game remotes last fall but completely forgot to post them!  The console is a store-bought brownie, don't tell anyone ;)  Used some cherry licorice for the wires and the remotes are all sugar cookie goodness.  

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Pac Man Birthday Cake Toppers

When my brother was 9, my grandmother made him the coolest Pac Mac cake, it had bright blue icing that stained our teeth for days.  This was a fun project for me, I set out trying to recreate the Pac Man cake for his 43rd Birthday, using cookies for the characters.  Those little cherries were my fav!  

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Xbox Controller

Gamers love cookies too!  Love how these hand-cut xbox gaming remotes turned out.  Im usually a cookie purist and don't use anything other than icing on my cookies - but these were screaming to use the leftover dots from our Halloween candy stash !

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Pikachu

If you don't know who Pikachu is, then you haven't spent any time with any 6-8 year olds recently.  This is the 2nd request for Pikachu/Pokemon themed sweets this year.  Slightly different takes, but equally happy customers!
