Garden Gnomes

I made these cookies for my MIL to serve at a luncheon. She'd been going on and on about how much gardening she's been doing, so I thought a garden gnome would be appropriate! I think they would've turned out better had they been a bit bigger, but she wanted smallish cookies. I hand cut the cookies using a template. Iced with a modified Toba's Glace.

Just another beautiful cookie from you! I think they are adorable and they came out so cute, how small are they?

They are about 2" at the widest part of the body...maybe 3.5" tall.

I was really tired when I did these...one poor gnome ended up with 6 fingers on one hand!

OMG, they're fabulous! What # tip did you use to outline the black? The colors are perfect, the design is perfect. And who knows, maybe somewhere out there, there really IS a six fingered gnome!!!
