The Cards you play with, and then eat.
When it comes to indulging your sweet tooth while satisfying your fandom, our Cookie Frames are a new and delightful choice. At the recent Malta Gaming Expo, Sugargeeks showcased these innovative treats, each adorned with images from the popular card game, Magic the Gathering. Let’s dive into the experience of crafting and selling these cookies and explore what’s in store for future events.
The Art of Square Sugar Cookies
Before we delve into our experience at the Malta Gaming Expo, let’s first explore the art of making the delicate, soft and chewy sugar cookies. To begin, you’ll need a basic sugar cookie recipe. Once your cookies have been baked and cooled, the real fun begins. Roll out some fondant, cut it into squares, and gently lay it on top of your cookies. Fondant adds a smooth, polished look to your cookies and serves as an ideal canvas for edible images. Use some water if needed so that the fondant sticks well to the cookie. Brush the fondant with water thinly once secured, and gently but firmly press the edible image onto the cookie. Make sure that no water touches the image, or the color will run and it will be ruined. Firmly press until the image is securely attached to the fondant and won’t lift off the edges once dry. Feel free to lay face down until completely dry.
Edible Magic: The Gathering Images
At Sugargeeks, we took these sugar cookies and adorned them with edible prints of Magic the Gathering cards. This unique twist adds a personalized touch to each cookie and is perfect for events like the Malta Gaming Expo. The process involves printing card images onto edible paper with edible ink, which can then be attached to the fondant-covered cookies.
The Malta Gaming Expo Experience
Our journey at the Malta Gaming Expo was nothing short of exciting. Attendees, many of whom were Magic the Gathering enthusiasts, flocked to our stand in search of their favorite card images. Two cards, in particular, seemed to be in high demand: the infamous Black Lotus and the enigmatic Jace, the Mind Sculptor.
Some visitors sought the Jace cookie because they despised the character, making it a humorous statement piece as a customer paid and added “I’m so excited to bite his head off!”.
Another customer gushed as she exclaimed “It’s a gift for my boyfriend! He’s going to love this.”
