Gloom Cookies
I saw these on a comic, and thought that they were just about the funniest things I’d seen, so I had to make some for my friend Jessica, who has a black sense of humor (like me!)
As for the technique, they are “icebox cookies” from the Joy of Cooking cookbook, with Pillsbury vanilla frosting dyed in extravagant colors. I made rainbows, then smeared it with a knife for a smoother surface. I piped on the white writing with frosting in a plastic bag. My baking implements are not as extensive as my art supplies

Great giggle. The contrast between the bright colors and gloomy messages is, uh, dead on.

You won a prize for these, but I ate it. I’m not a good person.
My favourite is “DEATH”

I am a huge SGR fan and this made my mind go kablooey–a kablooey of awesome.
When I come back to visit (and I will come back to visit soon-ish), can we catch up over gloom cookies?
