These adorable baby elephant cookies were inspired by the artwork of Sweet Melody Designs. A few years ago, I created a set of woodland animal cookies based on Carrie's artwork and I am thrilled to work with her again. Scroll down for the video tutorial and supply list!

I just made those cookies. I planned on trying making decorated cookies for a long time now. Since I found your videos.
This were my first. And I learned a lot during the process. They are far from perfect but everyone thinks they are really cute. I'm going to give them as a present to a friend who just gave birth to a little babygirl. 🙂
I'm so glad to hear that, Natascha! I'm sure your friend will love the cookies!
Where can I get the templates you use for the elephants?
Such cute cookies, but those little dimpled hands are even cuter!
Hi Amber! I am 13 yrs old and your blog is my favourite! I hope to be able to create cookies as well as you do! 🙂 Thank you for sharing so many awesome tutorials with us.
Hi Kieona! Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad my work inspires you to decorate cookies.
