Medieval Themed Cookies

I had a couple big cookie projects this weekend. I actually made cookies for a corporate gathering this past friday. My uncle is the General Manager for Mass Mutual Financial (click the link to check him out hehe). Anyways, they were having their annual picnic outing and I was asked if I was interested in making themed cookies for them. Naturally I was.

I have to say that these cookies took some thought and creativity to them. Usually if I don't have a particular cutter, I can go to Etsy.com and buy some from my favorite shop - the cookie cutter guy, check him out great products!!  However, in this case it was a little bit shorter notice so I couldn't order some of the shapes that I wanted.

For example, a shield cookie cutter or a sword cookie cutter would have been really cool to frost. But I had to get a little creative which means PINTEREST to the rescue. I also found on Pinterest how to turn a gingerbread man into a knight. I also ended up using a plain circle to make a shield.

I was at my local craft store and I lucked out when I saw the Fleur De Lis cookie cutter! I thought to myself, thats kind of medieval right? I think this one turned out to be my favorite and would be really cute for future parties like Mardi Gras!

The party really lucked out weather wise. The night before we were having TERRIBLE thunder and lightning storms which is so uncommon. The sun did come out and shine for the party though and the cookies received good feedback to me. Check them out!

Shield Cookies 

The whole time I was frosting the shield cookies I couldn't help but think about one of my favorite shows....GAME OF THRONES. Each shield is a different pattern and it made me think of all the different clans and townships they would represent. I know it is silly but sometimes you have to exercise your imagination!

Game of Thrones Anyone?

The diamond shapes were meant to match the table clothes which were the blue and white Oktoberfest pattern you see in the background. The below are the finished product cookie platters.

Of all the cookies I have made thus far, I would say this project challenged me the most and I was a little nervous for the finished product.
