Buzz Lightyear Cookie

This is the second birthday cookie I have been able to do for little Gavin. It helps that he loves all the same Disney movies that I do and and the characters he wants for his birthday parties are some of my favorite, so making them is really fun. This is one lucky little boy! His mom pulls out all the stops on his birthday parties and from the pictures I can tell that she pulls off a party that every kid wishes they could attend. I'm so grateful that she keeps asking me to make these cookies for Gavin's birthday because that means they are something really special to go along with her special party set ups.

As for the actual cookie, Buzz needed to be the focus, but I couldn't make a Buzz Lightyear cookie without the aliens! They were a blast to make and the idea to use their signature saying as a border I think made the cookie a bit more interesting and really brought the whole design together.  Buzz's body was actually quite a challenge to make, as each part needed to be detailed individually since they were in relief.  Gosh I love those little aliens though! :) Overall, this was another great birthday cookie to make and another challenge in designing characters.
