I have a love-hate relationship with this cookie cutter. Loved him
so much that I was determined to add him to my collection even though I
had to figure out how to get him to travel all the way from Australia to
Chicago, Illinois, USA link. Hate him because he is so darn tempermental.
If the neck doesn't break while cutting, it breaks after baking. If the neck doesn't break, watch out for the antlers.
Last Christmas, I made a few of these adorable reindeer and then
retired the cutter to the Christmas cookie cutter box. Little did I know that he would be quite a popular guy in the summer when he reappeared on Sweet
Sugar Belle's blog as a giraffe.When a friend called and asked for giraffe cookies for a baby shower, I was happy to do them. Although I've never made giraffes before, I knew that very little planning would be needed because I could go directly to SSB's blog and follow her clear, step-by-step instructions link. Of course, I couldn't just stick to the reindeer cutter, I had to try one of the alternative cutters that SSB suggested, so I used the reindeer and 2 different pineapples to make my family of giraffes.

Your pink giraffes are adorable! Gotta love that Sugarbelle!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment. This was a fun set of cookies to do, but I could never have created them without SSB's tutorial. I am so grateful that she is willing to share her talent with other cookie decorators.
