Hand Painted Cookies Inspired By Children's Books





Natasha, whose gingerbread houses I have featured before here, crafted these gorgeous hand-painted children's book characters for her kids' school honoring World Book Day. She made three different owls inspired by the following children's books:

1. Owl Babies by Martin Wadell and Patrick Benson
2. ZZZZ A Book of Sleep by Il Sung Na
3. Little Stories for Bedtime, Usborne Books

In the second picture, I had to look twice to spot the cookies. The characters look part of the books. I love the incredible feather detailing of "Owl babies".

{Thanks, Krystal}

    it's a great work.I'd know if you paint the cookies with the wilton coulours (gel) with something like vodka or in an other way. Thanks so much.

    I wanted to know which type of paintings do you use for this work in the cookies. I want to make a prove with the wilton colors in gel. Could it be?
    thanks in advance and congratulations for your work
