Lalaloopsy Cookies with a Pumpkin Cutter
It’s no secret I am pretty pumped for fall. Not only do I love the weather I’m pretty excited about these adorable cookies. Honestly, Lalaloopsy dolls used to creep me out a little {maybe it’s the button eyes} but since I live with a Loopsy lover, they’ve started to grow on me.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Lalaloopsey, this is my favorite character, Crumbs Sugar Cookie. Any guesses why I love her?
Now I bet you’re wondering what Lalaloopsie dolls have to do with fall, right? Well nothing, really, except that when I broke into my pumpkin cutters I realized that they would be perfect for the cookie version. For a girl that hates hand-cutting, this qualifies as a MAJOR epiphany.
Any pumpkin would work, but these two {I picked them up at Hobby Lobby} were my faves. If you aren’t near a Hobby Lobby, try this set from Karen’s Cookies.
See? Perfect!
Some of my cookie designs are pretty cut and dry but it’s a good idea to sketch out more complicated designs before picking up a piping bag. I simply traced around the cutter then sketched in the details.
For my sanity, I didn’t take pictures of every step, but I have a few tips to help you along the way. If you have a Kopykake, simply pop it in your projector. If not, don’t fret, it’s still doable just use a food color marker to make a guideline to work by. It’s a bit easier transferring a design from a picture to cookie with a starting point to refer back to.
When piping keep the sketch handy and simplify by taking it one section at a time.
Outline and fill the cookie, let it dry overnight, then add the final details.
If you’re looking to make Peanut or Splash try combining a circle cutter with a bone. For Blossom, mini-flowers and a circle. Or an upside-down skull would work well for characters like Flutters and Cinder Slippers.
As much as I love Lalaloopsy masterpieces, these days I don’t have it in me to make them. I love the pumpkin version because they’re sure to impress with a lot less stress.
Do you have a Loopsy lover in your house? Are you a Loopsy lover? Which one is your fave? I’m pretty fond of Specs myself.
