Building Your Theme Toolbox:

Once you have a theme in mind, it's time to refine it. Here are some categories to consider:

• Shapes:  Move beyond the classic circle! Think stars, hearts, animals, or even geometric shapes to match your theme. For specific shaped cookie cutters, enlist the help of a 3d printer, or print your shapes and hand-cut your designs. Another option would be to stencil your design onto a basic shape. (More info on stenciling cookies here)

• Flavors & Fillings: Experiment with different flavor combinations to complement your theme. For example, a campfire theme could feature chocolate chip cookies with marshmallow filling.

• Decorations: This is where your creativity can truly shine! Use rolled buttercream icing, royal icing, sprinkles, candies, or even edible paints to bring your theme to life.
