Looks like I am getting very serious because these photos were taken with a DSLR camera (it was gathering dust), complete with gift-wrap paper as backgrounds. With my limited DSLR skill, I am proud of how beautiful these photos turned out. Anyone interested to take professional photos of my custom cookies? Hmm, doesn't sound very exciting does it. Anyway, I sure am excited about this set of cookies because they represent my younger daughter's first year. I made this to celebrate her Birthday in early March. And I think they are also great in the occasion of baby shower, Christening, baby's full moon (滿月曲奇) and baby's 100th day celebrations (百日宴曲奇).
Below is the baby girl cookie set with my daughter's favourite teether Sophie the Giraffe, her snuggle comforter (Nature's Purest bear), an owl hair clip I made her a month before she was born, her cute little newborn feet that is the size of this baby shoe and the essential bib. How big is Sophie the Giraffe? It's 1:1! I think you can't find it anywhere in the world? At least I didn't come across it during any of my research.

I put together a baby boy set. The major difference is in the colour theme.
I really enjoyed making these because they are O So Cute!
I had also drafted more animal prints that are possible to pipe small:- ladybug, owl (I looove owls), whale, bird, duck, cow, sheep, giraffe, hippo, Mickey Mouse shadow, Batman, Elmo, Cookie Monster, cupcake, ice cream...
I did make a girl onesie but I accidently dropped it on the floor and it fell royal icing face down, that moment, my heart stopped beating for a second before I slowly picked it up and turned to see the half dried icing was smooshed... I took a deep breath, accidents happens and I am sure this won't be the first time I mishandle my cookies, so let's move on and make sure I make extras next time, yay!
Baby shoes look gorgeous with adding a simple ribbon bow. If I get requested, I would add the word 'Dior' on one of them too. :)
How I did it:
I got a picture of Sophie the Giraffe off the internet and adjust it to the size I wanted and trace it on to a piece of paper. Then outline the giraffe with smooth edges so it's easier to cut around on the dough, trace the outline onto a thick plastic sheet (I used a clear projector sheet), put it on the dough and cut the edge with a small sharp and pointy knife.
I used the same egg cutter for the bib and the owl.
I used a full body bear cutter for the teddy bear and cut it in half, trimming here an there to fit more perfectly onto the imagine of the bear.
