M...I...C...

K...E...Y!
MICKEY MOUSE!!!!
Katie asked me to do Mickey Mouse favors for her daughter's birthday party.  I said yes, but I did not share that I was TERRIFIED!!!  (Sorry to admit it, Katie!)

Characters...kids love 'em.  I panic at the thought of decorating a cookie like 'em.  Seriously!!!  Remember those Spongebob cupcakes and cookies?  Yeah - stressed for weeks over those.  Characters look a certain way - cartoon characters, especially!  If the cookie artist (that would be me), even makes one small tweak, the character could look WAY OFF.  

Anyway, I sucked it up and did them.  I thought they came out fine...what do you think?  

My son could spot this symbol on any
car antenna at the age of 18 months.
Sad, but true.
Okay - the ears.
Yes, those sideburns do look a little
Elvis-like.
Hey, who knew that Mickey and Elvis
had something in common?
I can find every single flaw in this,
BUT
I will not do that.
I did have a moment of accomplishment
that kept me going...
...long enough to finish all 15!
AND even throw in 2 Minnie's
for Katie's girls.
Happy Birthday, Bella!
Thanks, Katie.
