When I started this challenge, I had a few rules I set for myself. First, I knew what I wanted to show that it is possible to use one set of icing colors, ten different cookie cutters, and your imagination to make some fun cute turkeys cookies. I didn’t change the cookie cutters in any way by cutting, trimming, or reshaping them and I made the design work within each specific cookie cutter. The icing colors are the same on all of the turkeys and I tried to do it in ten days, but hey, life happens and sometimes things take a bit longer.
