Two party themes, one cookie cutter

My son wanted Mario and my daughter wanted foxes. I thought my solution tying them together was clever, but no one at the party seemed sufficiently impressed.

edit: I should have specified, these are mini sandwiches, not cookies. The colors are from food dye markers.

Sorry to hear that. I am impressed. My parents never put that much effort into anything like that for me.

My parents are great, and they did a lot for me, but they didn't put in any extra effort on things like birthdays.

I go all out for my kids' birthdays. Like for my daughter's third birthday, I transformed the house into Elsa's ice palace. I built the exterior out of cardboard and a roll of blue plastic tablecloth, two stories tall, hanging from our indoor balcony. Then I bathed the living in blue light, covered it in snowflake decorations, and turned the AC way down.

I was looking at the orange one, trying to figure out what it was. Then you said 'fox' and it all came together. Looks exactly like a face. Maybe a small line of icing on the edge of the sugar would help define it?

Is that sugar? It looks like it has the texture of sandwich + food marker

Edit: oop, refreshed the page and saw OP said that’s what it is

OH. I didn't zoom in and thought they were sugar cookies. Still I could go for some pbj about now

They look awesome. Well done. I have to ask, because the texture is throwing me off. Are they mini sandwiches or cookies? The closer I look the less sure I am. Well done anyway. I could tell what they were right off the bat.

I just finished decorating a Mario cake last night for my child. It is safely in the freezer well in advance.

They're peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with food dye marker on them.

I was planning to do cookies the same way, but ran out of time.

Well there are terrific! Not only are the design very pretty but the use of a single cookie cutter make it very smart.

For when your son wants a Mario party and your daughter wants a Microsoft Visual FoxPro 7.0 party.

Pleasantly surprised that the themes were simply wolves and Mario and not two political dogwhistle codes I wasn't aware of.

I'd just learned about it too. They were super easy to use. I'm going to have a lot of fun making my kids lunch.
