| CREDIT: CELTIC CROSS |
I made these for friends of ours, they are having Christening of their son, and they wanted some simple Celtic Crosses. I don’t have a celtic cross cutter, and wasn’t able to find one that I liked in time so once again I hand cut these cookies using a simple plastic cookie cutter template that I made.
Image to the left served as my inspiration as well as a template model. It worked out perfectly. I was very pleased how they baked, considering they were hand cut.
I made 22 of these, they are about 3.5 x 2.5 inches.
How to Make Cookie Cutter Template using plastic sheets -Simple, Fast and Easy
My biggest issue when decorating these was to achieve somewhat balanced spacing between the arms, I know it may seem easy but actually it was a little challenging for me. I’m always learning new techniques. My initial goal was to create a cross that would look like a pendant, I have to say I’m pretty happy how they turned out. I tried to keep them simple and meaningful, after all they are for a very special occasion.
I decided to add a Shamrock to my design to emphasized on the Irish tradition, Shamrock is a symbol of Ireland. I also added a monogram of the baby’s name to balance two designs.
