Make a Splash with Pool Frogs!

6/1/2014

 
Graduation season is coming to a close and the thermometer says that summer is right around the corner.  What does graduation and summertime have in common?
Picture
The Wilton graduation cookie cutters!  With a little creative thinking, these cookie cutters can be pool-ready in no time!
See how the frog is really the graduation cap- upside down? 
Let me show you how to make this cutie pool frog!

After baking, turn that cap upside down.  Pipe the swimming mask with piping consistency icing. 
​Let it dry for a bit. 
Picture
Use a 20-second green to pipe the frog skin.  Quickly add a few yellow spots.
Picture
Grab some 20-second white and fill in the mask.  While it's still wet, add in a little blue to give it that "glass" reflective look.  Drop in some black for eyes now too! 
​Pretend there are eyes in the pic :)  Let dry for a bit. 
Picture
Grab some thick black icing.  Add some of the facial details- like the nostrils and happy smile. 
Picture
Once the mouth has dried a bit, pipe the snorkel tube with a thicker icing.  Mine was a little too thin, but it was already in the decorator bag.  And I was feeling lazy.
Picture
After the snorkel tube has crusted, add in a few small details to the tube to finish it off.  I think he's ready to jump in!
Picture

Our pool frog needs a towel to dry off!  Use that diploma cutter to make a wrapped up beach towel.
Picture
Add in a few other summertime cookies and you are ready for that first pool party of the season!
Picture
You'll be sure to make a splash!

These are SO CUTE! I'm impressed that you could see a frog in that grad cap. I made dozens of those caps for graduation celebrations in May...and never once saw a frog & snorkel! You have the 'creative eye' :)

what a fantastic idea for a retirement! A co-worker is moving to Florida after she retires in mid March and I'm sure she will love these. And I have these cutters already!

    I'm Amy. Wife, Mom, former science teacher- and now full time cookie baker on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Pull up a chair and we'll create!  I'll bring the coffee- maybe Mike (The Cookie Widower) will make it for us.
