Birthday and Graduation all in one


I had the honor to make cookies to celebrate an 18th birthday along with the graduation of a friend's son.  I wanted to have the birthday cookies in a similar hue as the graduation cookies. The colors are a bit darker than the picture. My friend had requested stars in reds and blues with 18 on them for the birthday. I do not own a graduation cap cookie cutter.  I can not find them in my area and I just can not justify buying one online and paying the shipping.  I will keep my eye out for one. So I searched the web and found some inspiration.  They all were a big hit and were gone well before the party was over. The biggest lesson I learned making these was to use the dark frosting to make the dots first and let them dry and then the light color.  I did it backwards and the dark maroon bled a little onto the light grey dots.
