PLEASE HELP! I want to make cookies for our church's VBS next week.....I'd like to do them in the logo, but I'm not sure how to implement? My other option is to just do cookies in our colors (brown, pink and turquoise), but I'd really like to attempt the logo.

Any suggestions?

It looks to me that while your flow is still wet you could apply the blue lines. It would leave you with a smooth top. All of your lines are straight so I think you could do it this way.

I'm sure you could recreate that exactlly on a cookie if you want it smooth do like mcalhoun said if you don't mind if it's raised, let the chocolate (brown) dry and then go ahead with the turquoise and do your border in pink......I think it would look really cool as a cookie design.......and if you don't wanna mess with any of that.....get some edible images with the logo and just lay them on top !!!! www.sugarcraft.com does them. You just email the photo and they print and mail them to ya!!

Personally, i would tint the cookie dough pink, then i would use chocolate fondant and cover the top of the cookie with it leaving some of the tinted edge of the cookie for the boarder. Then i would either pipe or stencil the lines on there. I think if i have to do alot of them i would opt for a stencil. It shouldn't be that hard to cut one for these, Then if you have an airbrush use it, or you can use spray colors from a can, or you can use thinned royal icing with an angled spatchula, or a paint brush with some food coloring.

Here is another way to go about it, especially for this logo since it is the type that uses negative space to create the words, and the fact you need to reproduce this several times for cookies.

I would trace the logo on a plastic coffee can lid and cut it out with an exacto knife. Then ice your cookies with one logo color and let dry. Then place your template on top and use a stiffer royal icing in the other color and with an off-set spatula, smear the icing across the template filling the grooves. When the icing is level, lift the template straight up and what is left will be your logo. thumbs_up.gif

Wow....all great ideas.....I may have gotten myself into quite a pickle! I'm going to try something, but not sure what yet! If nothing else.....we'll have pink, turquoise and brown cookies! Thanks everyone!
