Sweet Talk Cookies: Creative Designs for Birthdays, Holidays, and Everyday

Finally, a cookie book that’s sweet and sassy! Sweet Talk Cookies has gloriously out-of-the-ordinary cookie designs.

If you’re sick of the same-old cookies, if you can’t possibly decorate another bland tree or stocking, look no further. Hayley Callaway, founder of Hayley Cakes and Cookies (@thehayleycakes), has just what you need—whether that’s a taco truck and message cookie that says “Feed me and tell me I’m pretty” or a T-rex hanging Christmas lights. When it comes to designs, this is a book filled with cookies that have character, for year-round fun. Chapters span the seasons, including both holiday-related motifs and designs that simply celebrate something like summer fun (helllooo snow cones!).

If you’re looking to really make these cookies your own, you’ll love the creative lettering workshop. Once you master the art of writing with icing, you can customize to your heart’s content!

Inside, you’ll find all this and more: A complete cookie class • : Outlining all the key materials and techniques needed in the rest of the book. Recipes • : Hayley’s signature cookie and icing recipes. Writing workshop • : The key to making the cookies your own! Holiday cookies • : Cookies to pop the bubbly and celebrate the New Year, fa-boo-lous Halloween cookies, ideas for your Valentine, and even a couple birthday party cookies. Animal cookies • : A whole farm of mini-animals as well as bears, a rainbow turtle, even unicorns! Christmas cookies • : Just try and pick your favorite from the what’s crackin’ nutcracker, Rudolph the sprinkle-nose reindeer, and a cookie that is decorated like a tray of Christmas cookies. Summer cookies • : Have some fun in the sun with mermaids, fancy seashells, watermelon, tie-dye shirts, and more. And even more cool designs • : Cowboy boots, eggs and bacon, carved woodgrain, a watercolor cactus...the sky’s the limit!

If you are the type of person who demands cookies not only taste good, but be in good taste, this is your cookie book soul mate!
