Romantic Winnie the Pooh Cookies

I made these Romantic Pooh cookies for my husband’s birthday. They feature Winnie the Pooh and the words of the Pooh quote:

You are Braver then you believe,

Smarter than you think,

Stronger than you seem, and

Loved more than you know.

Even though the last part is not on the original quote, it appears on several greeting cards and I really like it added. For the “Loved More Than You Know” cookie, I had Pooh holding a large heart shaped pillow.

Each cookie has a hand-painted picture of Pooh in addition to the words.

The cookie in the middle shows Pooh holding a pot of Hunny with bees flying around. He is enjoying his favorite food.

The next cookie has the words ‘You are’ with a picture of Pooh holding a Hunny pot. A bee is on his nose.

The third cookie shows Pooh holding on tightly to a red balloon and the cookie has the words, “Braver than you believe”. This image of Pooh with the balloon is from the famous sequence where Pooh is trying get honey from the tree. Almost anytime it is overcast, either my husband or me will remark “Tut tut, it looks like rain”.

On the next cookie, Pooh is peeking over a log. This cookie has the words, “Smarter than you think”.

The fifth cookie shows Pooh and Piglet walking together hand in hand. This cookie has the words “Stronger than you seem”.

On the next cookie, Pooh is hugging a red heart pillow and the cookie has the words “Loved more than you know”.

The last cookie shows Pooh holding small red hearts in his hands.

How I made that Romantic Pooh Cookies

First, I designed the cookies so that most of cookies had part of the quote. Plus, all of the cookie had to fit together, so the quote was in the correct order. A hexagon shaped cookie made this work nicely. In addition, I wanted to keep the color scheme simple so I used mostly white, red, black, and Pooh gold.

I baked the cookies, then covered each cookie with white royal icing. Next, I used a Cricut to cut out stencils for each of the words and used red and black royal icing to put the words onto the cookies. I like the way this made the words look printed onto the cookie. Next, I drew Pooh onto the cookie. I used the Camera Lucida app to project the desired image in order to draw an outline of Pooh. After that I colored in each image.
