Little Luau Cookies and Where to Shop

Here's a quick little thought for Friday.  You don't need a special cutters to make specialty cookies.  Just use what you have.

A few days ago I made these little luau cookies for my neighbor to use as cupcake toppers.



 I had a pineapple cutter, but other than that, I was out of luck.  So, I went through my little box of mini-cutters and came up with ways to make what I needed with what I had.



I used the cross to trim the arms off of the baby onesie, and the pineapple to trim the cross, and I had a perfect little set.  You could also use a mini-star as a starfish or a scalloped round as a seashell.  the possibilities are as endless as your imagination. 

So, before going shopping, take another look at the cutters you have.  And if that point you still feel the need for new cutters, try these wonderful shops.
Of course, there are many many more, these are just my most frequented faves.  And when you spend too much money on cutters, just remember, you are not alone!
Happy Friday, I hope you find lots of fun new toys!
