Gumball Machine Cookie Collection





Gumballs and gumball machines.......
A set of cookies I've been wanting to do for a long time.
There's something about candy-related cookies that are just plain F-U-N.
And the pastel colors are always a winner. :)

Gumball Machine Cookies (Tutorial)





Oh how I love gumball machines. 
I use to own a real one that I had in our entry way.......
it held M&Ms in colors to match the season/holiday. :)

I saw this cute scrapbook sticker and knew this was the simplified version I wanted to try. :)

I didn't have a cutter......so I squished a circle on top of a modified triangle. ;)

Outline and flood the base of the machine.

(I chose pastel colors because I was dying to use these pretty pastel pearls as the gumballs. :))

 After the base has dried a bit, outline and flood a white circle on top and
immediately drop the pearls into the wet glaze.

 Add some light gray glaze to emulate the mechanical parts.

If desired, you can add a "gumball" to the dispenser at the bottom.

Allow the cookies to dry overnight.
Mix up some silver pearl dust and almond extract
and paint it onto the mechanical parts of the machines.

These cookies make me happy. :)
