[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a baker and here’s what I would do:

Way ahead: Make cookies. Cool them. Freeze them flat in one layer on a baking sheet. Once they’re frozen, layer them in a plastic container with parchment paper between each layer. Wrap the box in plastic wrap, and put it back in the freezer.

On Amazon, order white satin ice fondant, a bunch of food coloring pens, and as many cute little sprinkles, candy things, eyeballs or whatever as you like. I think they have sprinkle mixes which could be good. If your kids are super bougie you could add some edible gold leaf. A lot of this stuff has slower than normal shipping so keep that in mind.

Day before: take the box out of the freezer and leave it on the counter, wrapped.

Morning of: roll out the fondant and cut it out with the same cutters you used for the cookies. Even if your cookies spread a bit you’ll have a nice crisp shape. Either make some royal icing or honestly just mix some of the fondant with water to use as glue for the add ons. For sticking the fondant to the cookies just a little water will work too.

Extras:
If you want to get into piping bags with icing or buttercream that’s great. I probably wouldn’t. The next level for me maybe would be getting some gel colors (americolor, from Amazon) and some water color palettes and brushes. Mixing the gels with Vodka would work better than with water but idk if that’s appropriate? Water will work. They can watercolor right onto the fondant. You could also get some “luster dust.”

I love to bake and decorate and am keeping this for future reference. But this is way over the top for a bunch of kids who may or may not be artistic. [/quote]?

Not age=appropriate but sounds great for a professional[/quote]

I was a professional, and I’ve done this exactly with kids about that age and it went great. I think it would work for non pros really well. We made cookie place cards for Thanksgiving. The food coloring pens on the fondant were awesome. Easy to write names, draw hearts, etc. I actually think it’s less involved than anything with a piping bag or spreading buttercream. [/quote]
