So, the theme of the Baby's room is Turtles. So my mom wanted to do a turtle theme for the baby shower as well. She ordered turtle cookies from AJ's and just days before the shower they called to tell her that they didn't have a turtle cookie cutter. So we cancelled the order and thought we could just do them ourselves! How hard could it be? She already had a turtle cut out, so we just had to make the cookies and icing and frost them! Right!?
WRONG! Apparently we did not have the baking skills to make sure the turtles stayed as turtles once they were baked. They came out more like blobs!
Cookie cutter vs. how the cookie came out....
Turtle? I think not!
We were very bummed. We tried everything! Re-rolling dough, chilling dough, nothing kept it as a turtle. So we gave up. Next we figured we would just make thick circles and decorate them blue and green. How hard could THAT be?? Well, apparently hard....our cookies came out flat as a board!
Our stack of flat, blob like cookies....
In the mean time, AJ's called and said they found a turtle cookie cut out and had made our cookies! We thought, YAY! So my mom went to pick them up....
Turtles? More like long neck dinosaurs!! And pink!?!? It's a boy!!
So we ended up eating the pink ones, scraping off the pink frosting off of the blue and painting some green icing on, getting plain sugar cookies from Paradise Bakery and decorating those. A lot of work for stupid cookies!!!
End result...
Here are a couple more pics from the shower. All others can be seen here:

This is an enchanting and a fun filled Baby Shower, very nice idea with a different theme. At one of the best New York venues, I too threw a DIY rainbow baby shower in the last month and it just turned out to be super enjoyable. I made the colorful cookies as party favors and everyone just loved them.
