Well, I’ve finally managed to get up my second post in one week…something that I haven’t achieved in a while! As I said in the last post I recently did a huge cookie order for a movie premiere here in Hollywood. The movie was, The American Mall, and it premieres on MTV August 11th. This was quite an exciting order for me since it was 500 cookies and my largest order to date. This was the first time that I tried doing a sugar cookie with a printer on image too. This is definitely a cool technique that I have wanted to try for a while. I have lots of ideas for future cookies and can’t wait to share them with you! But for now, here are some photos of the LONG process…500 sounds like a large number until you actually produce and decorate them and then the number seems even larger!!!
Here are some photos of the process so you can get an idea of how the cookies were made. Hopefully within this next month I will be making a video on sugar cookies with all my tips and techniques, so if you don’t understand everything right now hold on and you will!
Now for the edible frosting sheets. First I printed the custom logos on the frosting sheets and then all 500 have to be hand cut to have the logo fit just right on the custom cookies.
Then I adhered the frosting sheets while the cookies were still a little wet and finally piped a border of royal icing on the edges and dipped them in sugar.
And that was just one shot of one of the boxes full of cookies…believe me when I say that there were a lot of cookies!
Now for the giveaway! The wonderful people from Beau-Coup decided to give one of my readers a free $50 gift card to their wonderful online store.

I love the custom labeled bottled waters! How awesome would it be to just have those lying around the house!
Beautiful cookies! I love you’re blog and check everyday to see what you have done. You inspire me. With the video tutorial will you include your cookies recipe becuase those look delish!
I loved the baby petit fours. Everyone loves those right? Plus cute colors and there is something adorable about such tiny little cakes – perfect for a tiny little baby’s shower! (and besides expecting myself in Oct., I have about a million friends expecting within the next few months!)
pewter, antique place chair place card holders!
Wow – that is a lot of work for cookies – they look great!
Your cookies look amazing! As for Beau Coup – I love the asian sandalwood fans!
I had a hard time choosing between the adorable pink leather travel clock and the engraved pink flask or and the porcelain chinese box is too cute!
I’m making cookies/cupcakes for my friends birthday party next week for 25 and I already feel frazzled! You always do such a perfect job! They look awesome! Where did you get a custom cookie cutter made?
Wow! I can’t believe you cut all the movie logos by hand! I’ll bet everyone at the premiere loved them…they looked gorgeous (and tasty too!)
As for the Beau-coup giveaway, it’s tough to choose, but I think the personalized mint tins are my number one. I’m having my wedding in less than a month, and I’m so nervous about having all the relatives meet. maybe some mints will help ease the introductions if you know what I mean
I absolutely love your site and I have used several of your recipes as well. I loved the bride and groom caramel apples on the Beau-Coup website. So cute!
American Mall looks like a rockin’ movie. I would eat these cookies while I was watching the movie. BUCKETS of cookies. Because they look so good.
Can’t wait for the videos. That’ll be fun.
I like the mini gum ball machines! They’re cool!
i love the custom tutu sachets!
I’m totally in love with your blog!!!!
My fave item: Heathered Favor Ribbon!!!
WOW! 500! You’re my hero! They are lovely Melody, congratulations on the huge order! I’m sure they were a hit!
Woooooah! All those biscuits! I’ve always wondered how you get pictures on cakes looking so perfect, too. Now I know!
My favourite thing on the site are the paper parasols. Ever so ladylike!
500 cookies!!! Wow I’m completely worn out after 50!!!
My favorite item would have to be “The Perfect Match” pen key rings.
I love their personalized fortune cookies– what a cute idea. And speaking of cookies… nice work! The American Mall cookies looks amazing! I just recently found your blog and I’m amazed by your creations. Thanks for sharing!
First off, WOW 500 cookies….second off, WOW 500 cookies!!! Those turned out great!!! That is a ton of cookies to make!!! I get overwhelmed by a few dozen! Great job!
I also wanted to let you know that I love your new website! I saw it on facebook; too cute!
Last, my favorite beau-coup product was all the fun packing ideas. I could go crazy with that stuff!!!
500 cookies…all cut out by hand!?!?!? THAT’S INCREDIBLE! They are lovely, though.
I love the personalized photo biscotti on beau-coup, so cute!
500 cookies! That is INSANE! They look great, and I’m sure everyone loved them. I am very interested to see the edible image process for a cookie…
Great job as always!
i am super impressed with your cookies melody! did you make your own cookie cutter?
well, its a toss up for me – i am a sucker for all things “cake” and they have monogram cake toppers, but they also have the coolest drink coasters in the shape of a flip-flop! what is a girl to do?
You are so talented. I know I’ve said it so many times but I am so impressed with your work.
Those are the cutest cookies ever! I am so in awe of all of your talents! I love the little gumball machine favors, too cute!
my god 500 cookies is quite the endevor…i thought i had it bad in june when i had a wedding w/ 250 cupcakes. although it was so much work they look fabulous.
beaucoup has so much stuff that is just eye catching to shopaholics like myself. i’m eyeing a bunch of favors in their holiday section. I love the mini ornament candles, the crystal christmas trees, i’m definately gonna start early.
The cookies are cute! I really like the individual towel cakes so cute and sound yummy. It’s my birthday this month so this would be a great present to myself ..haha !
My favorite hands down were the butterfly and dragonfly name tag holders…Love them. By the way…can’t imagine doing 500 cookies!!! Well done. They ROCK!
I’d have to say my favorite is the gourmet cupcake mixes…mmmmm
Since I just found out I’m Pregnant I had to look at the baby stuff, super cute items! I love the towel cakes! Even if I don’t win, I must thank you for sending me that way, I’m finding quite a few items that I love.
I love the cookies!!! They looked amazing with the sugar around the edges.
As for beaucoup… that site is awesome! I love the tux and wedding gown favor boxes… what a cute idea.
Thanks again for all of the awesome ideas!
Great job on the cookies! Your work is awesome.
I am expecting a baby in Nov so am on the lookout for gifts for my shower hostess. I am loving the mini cherry blossom dish. So cute!
I had never heard of beaucoup, thanks so much for sharing. I have two babyshowers and a wedding coming up and this is just the place I need. Everything is beautiful, but the baby things are so fun and unique. P.S. love the cookies you are one brave girl!
Wow…this is an incredible number of cookies. Impressive job!!! Wow.. the url is amazing. Wow. I’ve never seen so much stuff..all those favours. I wish that I’d known about this site for my sister’s wedding..would have made my life so much less stressful (the one who was asked to make the favours for her 200 or so guests). Fate intervened fortunately since I became ill and I couldn’t do this. I like the snowflake name holders.
Hey Melody — Incredible job with the cookies, and I can’t believe how many you made! Printable frosting sheets…who knew! I learn something new every time I visit. Hadn’t heard of Beau Coup before but since I’m planning my wedding it’s perfect timing to learn about that — I love the bride and groom favor boxes, and the personalized labels — you could use them on SO many things to carry the theme through! Hope you have a restful weekend! ~ Lindsey
I always enjoy reading your blog. It inspires me!
The cookies look so yummy! I always wondered how you ice so perfectly and now I understand – outline first!!
Great link too, will use for my upcoming wedding! Yay!

I got the custom cookie cutter made at The Victor Trading Company. They have an online store, so definitely check them out they are a great resource!

They looked great……I’m in the process of filling a order for a friends upcoming wedding – 300+ cookies. It’s my wedding gift to her to do her wedding favors. I’m not a professional baker but have been doing sugar cookies out of my home for the last three years (friends and family). This is the largest order yet…..any advice?
