Sweet Swimmers Revisted - I Sugar Coat It

ON YOUR MARK! GET SET! READY! GO!

With the 2012 Olympics in full swing, I thought it fitting to revisit my sweet swimmer cookies from last September. Okay, it wasn't all my idea - a friend suggested it during delivery of her cake last Friday. I'd also seen a few Olympic-themed cookies and cakes on Instagram.

I had not planned to bake last weekend. I was in a bit of a rut on Saturday and cancelled all my plans - sorry Kimmie :-(.

Sunday rolled around and the mister and I were up and about sourcing counters, cupboards, sinks and taps for a remodel (another of my past-times - at least when we actually find the time to attack projects). This project isn't moving along in any fashion resembling what we planned, and after all the rain last week, we discovered a small wading pool in the basement. Sacre bleu!!

Back at home, I decided to drown my sorrows in flour, butter, sugar and vanilla beans. Remember all that cookie dough I made for the wedding favour cookies in June? It was time for a frozen batch to make an encore appearance - as athletes!

I enjoy the olympics, particularly the water and gymnastic events. Here I have used some ceramic egg crates to play the part of water - not very effective, but cute, in my opinion.

This photo is from my post last September.

I used these cutters, but can't seem to remember where I purchased them. I think it was at HomeSense, but I'm not absolutely certain. I am sure you can find them on Amazon.

I also used a heart cutter for the cookies below and used the swimmer cutters to outline the swimmers. Top them off with some fondant caps and swimsuits and you've got your own Olympic team.

This was a really quick project and just as quick a post.

What's your favourite Olympic event? Leave me a note below.

You will find the recipe for these cookies here.
