Now, my Purple People Eaters kind of look like they are wearing party hats...I assure you that is a horn. It just *doubles* as a party hat. Where do you think he finds all of those people to eat? ;)
- cookies: I used a circle and attached wings on the sides and a triangle on top
- royal icing, tinted with AmeriColor Regal Purple, Egg Yellow, Electric Green, Bright White and Super Black
- disposable piping bags
- tips: #2, #12, #5, #1
- squeeze bottles (2)
Thin the purple and yellow icings (reserve a bit for later) with water, a little at a time, until it is the consistency of thick syrup. Cover with a damp dishtowel and let sit several minutes.
Stir gently with a rubber spatula to pop any large air bubbles that have formed. Transfer to squeeze bottles.
Let the cookies sit for at least one hour.
Use a #12 tip to pipe an eye in white. Immediately, pipe the pupil in black on top of the white using a #5 tip.
Switch the tips to #1's and add a mouth and teeth. (Ya gotta have teeth to eat people.)
There you have it...
One-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater cookies!
{The song is stuck in your head now, isn't it? Welcome to my world.}

ReplyDeleteI remember those songs but they sure as heck didn't have these adorable cookies at any Halloween party I went to. Love your funny creative mind Bridget.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! One of these days I need to get brave enough to try making some adorable cookies like that! For some reason, royal icing sill intimidates me :)
ReplyDeleteI love them! So cute. And yes, the songs were all on the same album, along with "Ding Dong The Witch is Dead".
ReplyDeleteThese are really fun. That song totally reminds me of my childhood and singing that with my family. Love how creative you always are!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of that song, but I am in love with these cookies!
ReplyDeleteThese are the cutest!!!! You are totally making me want to bake more...I may give it a try this weekend!!!

ReplyDeleteI feel deprived!
ReplyDelete1. I don't have these cookies on a plate under my nose, and
2. I've never heard the Flying Purple People Eater song!
:(
I just died. These are SO CUTE! I love them! I wish I had your talent. I tried to do cookies like yours for my son's birthday ( http://www.melindabryantphotography.com/2011/04/very-merry-un-birthday.html ), but they were a sad imitation. Still, it's so fun to imagine making cookies this cute :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! Those cookies are adorable!

ReplyDeleteYou're right, the song IS stuck in my head now:) I like this guys little face, he looks so happy but then you realize it's really a creepy smile. Because he's been eating people!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of this purple people eater is the mouth and fangs (you know, the teeth)! I have been making cake pops, but they are waaay too sweet for my family's liking. I just might have to try my hand at cookies. Thanks for all the great directions!

ReplyDeleteAdorable. Thanks for starting my day with a smile. (and yes, I now have that song stuck in my head!)
ReplyDeleteAs a Minnesota Vikings fan, I can tell you that we sort of adopted that song as our own. The Vikings are long referred to as purple people eaters!
ReplyDeleteGotta tell ya... these guys... WAAAAAYYYYYYYY cuter. And I think I would much rather stop by your blog on Sundays and cheer YOU on then the Vikings! ;)
Great job Bridget!
I love these guys and your sense of humor! Ironic that these little people eaters are going to be eaten by people, mwaaaah ha ha!

Oh wow I didn't know anyone else had that record- or played it on Halloween! My gram always played it on Halloween!!! So do you know Rubber Ducky, Shaving Cream, and I Love Onions? LOL! I may have to try these since we are getting snowed in as I type this. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, if I was this talented I would so make these for my grandparents. When they got married like 55 years ago, my grandpa kept joking with my grandma that this was "their" song - no one remembers why, but the joke stuck. They have a stuffed monster that sings "their" song, and it always throws guests off :)
ReplyDeleteI remember that song!!! These cookies are amazing!!!! You are so creative Bridget.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. So creative. And, from what I gather from reading your blog, so you.
