1950s Themed Cookies

A few weeks ago I made a basket of cookies as a door prize for a Volunteer Appreciation Event we held on base. It took me 3 days straight to bake and ice these cookies.

The event was 1950s themed.  Think poodle skirts, greased back hair, and record albums.  If you don't know what a record album is- back away slowly!

It was several months ago, not long after we voted for our theme for the event, when I saw this digital scrapbooking kit by Jady Day Studio for the first time. It was PERFECT! 

I bought the kit, and used it for inspiration when making my cookies.

Here they are.....

Poodle skirts.

Leather jackets, and one for a Pink Lady.

 Record albums.

 Roller Skates.

 Grease Lightening sports cars.

 Tubes of hair grease.

 Ice Cream Sundaes.

 Coke bottles with straws.

 The whole shebang.

 Now I have to admit that the only thing I know about the 1950s was from Back to the Future and from Grease, but I think they turned out rather cute. :)  Several of the ladies who helped set up really liked them and asked for the recipe.

The older gentleman who won the door prize didn't look too thrilled- but I like to think that most men don't understand the creativity and work that goes into something like this.

Don't tell me otherwise.
Please. ;)
