What's with Fat Tuesday...

Such an odd day...Fat Tuesday...

...but making Mardi Gras cookies are just as fun!  Forget the beads and floats...I'll stick with Mardi Gras masks.

I started with two cookie cutters combined to make one large mask.

A crown and bikini top! Doesn't it go hand and hand with Mardi Gras.


Combined they made a rather fine mask.  

Now, let me back up. You may be wondering why I was making these Mardi Gras masks.  I was asked to make them for someone who wanted to use them as props for a photo shoot.

So they also needed to be on sticks - and incredibly sturdy - since the cookies would be picked up repeatedly.  I'd hate for them to fall off in the middle of a photo shoot!

I'm not going to lie.  These were hard.  Not only making sure they were sturdy yet "pretty."  Sticking to the red, green and purple theme seemed best, not to mention the client asked for that!

So here's where I leave you with the photos - I wasn't good again at taking actions shots - bad Annie.



And ta-da...they are done!








Here's to hoping the photo shoot goes great!  Take that Fat Tuesday...
