Cookies occupy a lot of my time. True, I do put a lot of effort and attention to detail into crafting these creations- but I do understand that they are, after all, just cookies. This is why, when I get a chance to (perhaps) help others with my quirky abilities, I contribute. Our local chapter of Project Healing Waters was having a auction fund raiser to which I donated a basket. Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc.™ is dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing and associated activities including education and outings. Those lovely Rocky Mountains fit this purpose beautifully. Tried my best to make this basket so fly (fishing).

Very beautiful basket of cookies. Brings a smile to one’s face and for one’s day!
Thank you so much. Hope your day is full of smiles!
I would love to know how you made the reel. I have never seen that before, but great idea! Is it painted on? Thanks!
yes! The grey reel is a combo of edible gel (I used Americolor) and everclear (vodka works too). I then highlighted with a black edible pen and Royal Icing for depth! Hope this helps!
Yes thank you for the reply and the details. It is beautiful but I am too intimidated to try at this point, lol….it might be beyond my skill level. You do great work!
