Movie/Theater Theme Cookies

A set of cookies in celebration of a young lady becoming a teenager!  Her mom requested a set with a theater/movie theme.  This is what I came up with..........

I sure hope she approves of them.....cuz heaven knows how OPINIONATED today's teenagers are about ......EVERYTHING!  Especially teenage girls!!!  I speak from first hand experience.

My dearest, darling daughter became one this past summer, and holds nothing back when expressing her opinion on any and everything.

I refer to this as that 'movie thingy', but upon doing a google search learned that it is called a clapboard or clapper.  Who knew??  Thank you google!!

In the pre-tech days, one always noticed that these clapper things were written upon with chalk. I assume for ease of erasing and rewriting.  Now, they're digital.  I was going for the 'retro' look here, and used Wilton's white icing color painted on with a small paintbrush. It provided the effect I was looking for, but still remained tacky after a day of drying.  In the future, I'll be sure to try a white gel paste instead in hopes that it will dry

Happy 13th Birthday, Ryonza!
