these were made using an ice cream cone cookie cutter turned upside down. I completely underestimated the time it would take to make these and I stayed up all night making 80 clowns! This was my first time makinsg more than a few dozen and I learned my lesson to start early! Here was my inspiration- I ended up copying them almost exactly because I lost my imagination at around 2 AM http://www.karenscookies.net/shop/cookie-cutters/ice-cream-cone/clown-cookie-cutter/prod_12.html
