Love the firecrackers in sunglasses! And so cleanly done!
The "1st steps" cookie is adorable. Great job translating the photo into edible art, and what a clever interpretation of the theme.
Here's my entry. It's hard to see, but the white banner says "Independence" and the rounds cookie says the same thing, along with "Freedom" and "Liberty".
That is quite a collection endymion! Those fireworks look like you took a snapshot of the sky last night but, my favorite is the one with the red/white/blue ruffle. How did you do the ruffle?

Thanks! The ruffle is fondant. I took strips of different colored fondant and rolled them together into one long piece. The took a couple of chopsticks -- one on top and one underneath -- to make accordian folds all the way down the strip. Then formed a circle/ring and attached it to the cookie with icing.
WOW! That cookie is stunning, all4cake! Simply incredible! And endymion, I LOVE your bunting done in fondant! What a cool idea! The variety of decorating mediums on this thread has been sensational. I look forward to seeing each and every new post.

Wow! I love all of these cookies! Gemini, your firecracker cookies are so cute and perfect! All4cake, I love your creative idea for independence. At first I thought it must have been a cake because it was so detailed. It looks like a painting. Endymion, I love all of your cookies, too! The ruffle is so cool! I want to try that some day.
