I have been playing with the cookie dough lately and made a lot of cute cupcake cookie lollies? or simply just cookies on a sticks. These cupcake cookies have been on my “to do list” for a very long time and I finally had a go making them. I dont have a speciel cupcake cookie cutter so I sat down and draw a template myself. I am very satisfied how they turned out and I have more cake inspired cookies on the way because I had a great time decorating them.
It is sugar cookies decorated with royal icing and you can see more cupcake cookie lollies at my gallery.
Happy Caking

Louise I saw these on flickr too…they are really beautiful…I was going to ask where did you find the cutter until I read that you made the template yourself…how clever!!
April 28th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Ah, they’re perfect!!! How did you cut them all out, by hand?
April 28th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Hi Louise! They are adorable! How do you get your icing spread so perfect on your cookies? I can never get mine to look that great! Happy Caking!
April 28th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
oh, so cute !
I Just didn’t uderstand, cause you said you sat and draw the cutter ??
April 28th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
These are adorable! You should definitely have a cookie cutter made from your design..it’s the best one I’ve seen so far!
April 28th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Thanks for such a great learning tool….beginning and advanced!
April 28th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
These are just too darn cute Louisa! The best cupcake lollipops I’ve ever seen!
April 28th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Just darling!
April 28th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
So sweet! Just adorable! May I borrow the idea some day?
April 28th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
I love them! I’d also like to know your trick for the icing. Mine is never that smooth either!
April 28th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
These are PERFECT!!!! look like they came straight out of a Martha Stewart Book!!!
April 28th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
They are so pretty!! And your icing is perfect. If you use royal icing, how do you spread it over the cookies? It is very smooth and not dry. What is your secret?

Hey, I jsut stumbled upon this for the first time, so I aplogize if you cover this a lot, but
a)do you cut the cookies post- or pre- baking?
b)how doyou stick the sticks in the cookies? Bake them in? Stick them in afterwards? How do you stop the cookie from splitting/breaking around the stick?
April 29th, 2008 at 1:44 am
Louise, your cookies lollies are so cute.
Congrats!

These are just adorable Louise! Picture perfect cupcakes!

I can see that many of you are interested in how I made them and therefor I will try making a small tutorial and I will make sure that everyone who is interested can get the template I made. Just be a little patience…. Untill it is ready I will try reply your questions:-)
I cut out the cookies with a small sharp knife. I find it best to cut while the cookies dough is still cold and NOT baked. If there are any rough edges I carefully smoothe with my finger.
After the cookies is cut I take a lolly stick and twist it into the cookie. carefully turn the cookie over and cover up with some dough. This fab trick can be seen on Karens Cookies:http://www.karenscookies.net/shop/cookie-projects-baking-cookie-pops/info_46.html
When I do the flooding I make sure that it is a thin and runny icing and I use one of those brilliant squeze bottles. The icing set up more even and smooth by doing it this way. I thin down with water.
Whenever you do the out lining of the cookie or the details when the flooding icing is dry I use a soft icing.
Yes it would be great if I could get this one into a real cookie cutter!!!
Thanks to all of you for the comments. I thought that you would love them

Sorry the link dont work. Look at http://www.karenscookies.net/shop/index.php

Hey Louise,
Love the cookies..maybe you know this already but there is a great website called “kitchen collectibles” http://www.kitchengifts.com, it’s a workshop in the US that makes a wide range of copper cookie cutters. I think peggy porschen buys some of her cutters from there. I saw a cup-cake cookie cutter (look under ‘food’) and I think they also custom make anything you want! They also ship internationally. I live in Dubai and ordered so many things from there and they were so great to deal with!!

jeg er vild med dine cookies Louise, skal vi snart mødes og lave cookies
April 29th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Cupcake cookies really are fun, aren’t they? I made some myself a few weeks ago, and the creative freedom with making these little cookies is amazing!
Like you, I plan to experiment and play with these cookies some more.

Thank you Louise for sharing these adorable cookies with us. Do you have a special recipe for sugar cookies to keep them from falling off the lolli sticks I can’t seem to keep mine attached to the sticks. I have tried several different recipes and haven’t had any success. I’ve noticed if I roll the dough too thick it loses it shape and if it’s to thin it falls off. Help! Thanks:)
May 14th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Kimberley: I just use a regular sugar cookie dough without baking powder. I do roll it out a bit thicker. Try look here Karenscookies.net there is a great how to on how to make cookies on sticks and there are nice recipes as well.
May 18th, 2008 at 4:03 am
Dear Louise, I just wanted to let you know, that I love your blog! The things you are creating are amazing!
By the way I love the “cookie-pop” idea :-)!!! Very creative!
I really related to the ” cookie template” story, since I did a similar thing for a really small guitars for a cake that was for a friend of mine. I remember that 24 guitars as small as a half a finger took me almost 4 hours to cut, then to paint them and add small details…oh, just thinking of it is exhausting
But it was rewarding, as in your case- amazing cookies came to this world.
Give me some advice, how do you get people to comment on your blog :-D, I’ve been bloging myself almost a year, I have really good amount of traffic on the website, but nobody ever comments anything!
Happy caking!

Hi Tandoori:
I am glad that you like my blog and the cookie templates
Sometimes templates must be the way if you cant find cutters ect.
Btw I know it is a bit late, but did you know that FMM have a tappit set with a small guitar? http://www.fmmsugarcraft.com/pages/fullprod.php?id=48 Still I like when people makes the decoration all by them self (more personal) but sometimes short cuts is the way.
For your question on how to get more comments I must say I really dont know. Thats the thing with blogging you never know if it will hit or fail. I just write….:-)
Have a nice day!
May 20th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Louise, I know about the tappit set, but the problem was that I came up with the ideathe day before the actual birthday, at 2 am in the morning :-). It’s hard to find cutters with this time range
Same thing happened to me with my own birthday cake- there are million heart cutters, but the only store around us that is open 24/7 is Walmart, and they didn’t have it, so I made a heart template and cut by hand 40 hearths with a heart shape whole in the middle. Call me crazy
May 28th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
These cookies look stunning! absolutely beautiful!
Do you use the runny icing for the filling in of the cookies and the stiff icing for the boarder lines or outlines?
Must try making cookies with this icing!:)
Thanks
May 30th, 2008 at 1:08 am
This is such a great website - still finding my way around…
But just wanted to ask all of you out there - has anyone made or seen a tiger cake? My son has requested a “ra ra” for his 2nd birthday and I am looking for ideas.
Thank You!
June 1st, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Laura N: Thank you. I decorate the cookies like you said. Stiff for outlines and rynny for the filling.
Scalbob: Thank you. For your request on a tiger cake have you tried Goggle image “tiger cake”? you could be lucky to find some insperation.
