About the same time that we got the Jungle Pals cutters that I showed you before, we also got these fun party theme cutters:
I still had some chocolate chip cookie dough in the fridge so I thought I may as well try these guys out, too! Here’s what I came up with.

Cakes. See the one on the left? I was trying my best to be asymmetrical, because I'm always way too symmetrical. I ended up with asymmetrical symmetric lines. I tried.
My favorite was the yellow one.
I liked the swirls, which were inspired by Brenda’s super cute swirly cupcakes. I can’t do them quite like she can, but I thought it was cute anyway!
And the red one has potential. My black frosting was a little too thick so my outlines were kind of rough. If you ever run into that with Meringue Powder Buttercream (or Royal Icing, for that matter) don’t be afraid to add a few drops of water to thin it down a bit. You’ll get lots smoother lines. I did end up adding some water, but not till after I did this cookie:
See how the lines (around the cherry especially) are kind of bumpy and rough? That’s from the frosting being too thick. Just a little FYI.
Some groupings:
I wasn’t too excited about the pink set, and I couldn’t put my finger on why. I think I just figured it out. I don’t think I like the black outlines with them. I tend to default to black outlines because generally I really like that style. I like the cartoon-y coloring-book type look. But I don’t know about black with the pastels. When you try this at home, go for a white or grey outline.
And you ARE going to try this at home, right? Because if you do, you’re going to need the cutters. Comment on this post by Midnight tomorrow (Thursday, Jan 20, which happens to be my sister’s birthday- Happy Birthday Shannon!!), and I’ll pick a winner at random to get the cutters.
Thanks for reading!
I’m totally going to try these out. I love the presents! I might even do it with the chocolate chip cookies too, never tried that. Thanks for the inspiration!
What fun cookies! I would love to have this set of cutters. And my birthday was Monday! Thanks for the giveaway!
They are cute.
Cute cutters…even cuter cookies 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!
Ooh, pick me, pick me! I love these party cookies!
Ever the teacher Karen! We love you!!! I adore the pink set! Pink and black are my favorite together. I am doing lots of pink and black hearts for Valentines Day as well as the traditional red and white. You inspire everyday and that is a gift we love to receive. Thank you and God Bless.
Love these cookie cutters. I especially love the hat with the fringe. I would have never thought about fringe …. THANKS
They look great!!! Is there help for those of us with a cookie cutter addiction?
OK! seriously in love with all of these designs.
you are so awesome and such an inspiration on so many levels. :o)
Love it! Love it! Love it!
Love the detail on each design, love the swirls and the dots…definitely want to try that out myself.
These are too cute! Today’s my birthday, so I think it would make a great birthday gift 🙂
I love the yellow cupcake! I like the black frosting with the pink but it would also be cute with purple. . . . Happy birthday to Shannon! And we’re finally back(!) and I’d love to see your set up if it’s not all packed away already. 🙂 PS do your lovely cookies freeze well?
Even your “bumpy” cookies are beautiful! I hope to be a fraction as good as you one day!
Sooo cute!! I like the cupcake and party hat cutters that I already have but I like having some variety.. and they’re adorable! Why must you keep finding cute stuff I don’t have yet? LOL
CUTE CUTE CUTE!!! I would LOVE this cutter set!

I don’t have any of these cutters and would love to add them to my collection! Your cookies are awesome. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

I LOVE the yellow cupcake! Super cute!
I’m always on the lookout for fun party hats, and these are too cute! Such a fun collection!

I would love to be the winner!
Happy Baking!
Love the the new cookie cutters! Thanks for sharing!
I love the yellow one too! I love how the sprinkles pop off! Gotta try this!
Love the cupcakes and birthday cakes.. i have been coveting these cutters ever since i saw some decorated a few weeks ago!
Love the presents and cupcakes they are so cute. I would love to win the cutter set and try making them myself.
You are very talented! I can’t wait to try and re-create some of your designs!
As always so beautiful and inspiring. I have had lots of fun trying out different designs from your gallery and cards. I’ve learned so much from your website, and am so glad you know have this blog.
How cute!! I love them!
obviously my fave is the cupcakes, they are soooooo cute!!!!!
Love the yellow cupcake! Thanks for the chance!
ALL of your cookies are just so beautiful! Almost too pretty to eat..lol
Love the cookies. I def want to try
Felicity’s birthday is coming up next week. These could be perfect! (hint, hint). I like the black with the pink and white (I actually thought it was more of a lilac color, but no matter). Anyway, pink and black are very “in” right now. Or they were a few months ago anyway… They all look fantastic!
I already have those cutters but I wanted to say how beautiful your cookies are. So creative!
Those are adorable! I could make awesome cookies for birthday presents with those!
I love these cookies, even the red one.
These are too cute! I would love to add them to my collection. I recently started doing cookies and need to keep my supply of cutters going! Thanks for the giveaway.
I want to party with these cutters!! Woo hoo!
Those are super cute Karen! I really liked the red one even if you thought the icing was too thick. I am going to have to make some. Super super cute!
Cute!! Jan 20 is my bday too;)
I love them! I especially like seeing what I wouldn’t think to do (like adding candles to the the cake/not taking the outline of the cookie as the guide for my own outline) Cute set and really nice work!
Those are really cute! I love the bright colors.
When I didnt win the jungle pal cutters, I went to Michael’s and bought them. I made the elephants and my daughter loved them.
thanks for inspiring me!
Ansa
These would be perfect for my dog treats!! Thanks for the idea 🙂
Love the cupcakes!
Party time is right! Great cookies and post! Count me in 🙂
Thanks for the chance at a fun giveaway!
Very pretty! Can’t wait to make these.
I love these!
What cute cookies you came up with! My favorite is the swirly, yellow cupcake, too- sooooo cute!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
What can I say but “WOW!” I only hope that someday I can learn to do something that comes close to this. It’s a little overwhelming to attempt it…yours are so beautiful!
Love, Love, Love these. Can’t wait until the next birthday. I am having so much fun with your page and Shannon, Happy Birthday.
These are so cute! I’ve been practicing with Royal and the NFSC recipe, but still can’t quite get my piping right 🙂
Love the cutters and Happy Birthday Shannon!
They’re adorable!And I think your swirls are great!
Hola!!
Feliz Cumpleaños para Shannon!
Yo quiero estos cortadores!!
Besos
These cutters look like alot of fun! Your cookies look great!
Love these even more!! Absolutely adorable! My favorite is the cherry cupcake!! Love the red!!
Pick me! I love these cutters and need a backup for when I break my cuppie. I use it WEEKLY!!!
These are so cute!! I love the presents!!
I too love the cartoon like style of black outline… love your Party designs, Karen!
These are adorable! The black outline gives them a whimsical look 🙂
YES!!!!! I have been on a decorated cookie learning curve, but am finally confident to share the ones I have made with others. My son’s 8th birthday is coming up and that hat would be perfect!!!! Thanks for the opportunity.
I absolutely love those cookie cutters! They would be great to use for some Valentines cookies!
Wow so cool – party in a cookie! The kids in my afterschool program would really have fun decorating the cupcake and party hat! They are in a baking phase 🙂
I love the red spotty cupcake, it´s gorgeous!!!
I love these cookies, especially the cupcake ones that look the buttercream swirls (remind me of soft serve and you can’t have a birthday party without ice cream). I would love to make these.
Super cute! Love the hats!
I especially love the cupcake designs. I have been collecting cookie cutters for about 15 years, and would love to add these to my collection! (I am planning to make some cookies this weekend!)
Interestingly, I JUST ordered those exact cutters from your website, along with a few more things to get me started with this hobby. So if I win someone else will be getting an awesome set of cutters.
Adorable. I would love to win this set. I agree the black outline really makes the cookie pop.
The cookies look great!! You do an incredible job.
Would LOVE to have this set!!
Such a cute set . . . and love what you did with them!! thank you for the inspiration and education you provide to aspiring bakers like me!!
Love your creativity on a blank cookie slate. I love the swirls as well!
Great job on the cookies. Any “birthday person” would love to have these.
Very cute. Will definitely try these.
Love these cutters and crossing my fingers that I win! 🙂
I love the swirls on the cupcakes!!! I’m going to try that for sure!!!!
Funny – the purple present is my very favorite of them all — and the next favorite is the red and white cupcake!
So cute! I think you’re right, the black outline works well with all the bright colours but odd against the pastel pinks. I can’t wait to try my had at decorated cookies like these but keep putting it off. I suppose I’ll have to get started on Valentine’s day cookies soon if I’m really going to do them. 🙂
My birthday is next week, this would be a great gift!
I love your cookies! So cute. My order will be coming soon! I hope I win too.
I love,love,love your site!!

Olá Karen, sou portuguesa e adoro o teu trabalho, a decoração que fazes nos cookies, são maravilhosos.Já há algum tempo encontrei o tei sit e já recebo o teu jornal com as tuas artes de doçaria, só tenho pena de não entender o inglês para perceber melhor os vídeos. Desejo-te também um Feliz Ano Novo e tudo de bom para ti. Felicidades. Beijos. Adelaide
