Avenging your taste buds one bite at a time!

[coffeebuddha]

A while back I said that I wanted to make Avenger themed cookies.

Yeah, so that happened. The frosting and cookies are 100% made from scratch and all the designs were piped by hand using a Crisco based pseudo-buttercream. Let's do a close up run down, shall we? (Sorry for the blurriness. My camera really sucks. Blurry pics have been replaced with better ones.)

We've got Thor's hammer.



Steve's shield.



Tony's arc reactor.



Darcy's taser. (And yes, I know she's not an Avenger or even in the movie, but she's my favorite and I ship her like burning with Bruce right now, so she stays. :)



The world's crudest Avengers symbol. (Why must you taunt me so, circles? Why?)



Fury's eye patch.



Clint's bow and arrow.

Coulson's tie.



Natasha's black widow mark.



And off to the side a radiation symbol is Hulking its way out of a blank, zen Bruce cookie. (I know the frosting looks super blue in the picture, but it's purple in real life. Bah, I fail at photography. black_sluggard did a color correct that's actually really close to the real color down in the comments if you're interested, though.)

I'm not an artist and have never claimed to be one, so please be kind. *runs away*

Thank you! :D

I can't help with the food coloring, but it's really easy to make your own fondant and modeling chocolate.

I haven't tried doing the modeling chocolate yet, but I'm going to make some later this week with white chocolate to use on some bee themed honey cupcakes, so I'll let you know how it turns out.

I've made fondant before, but marshmallows are really hard to get here too, and the sugar one I made was way too soft. But if I ever find marshmallows I'll definitely try that recipe! I've also never attempted to work with modeling chocolate before, do let me know how it goes!
