I had a new, local customer reach out to me last week in need of some Lego themed cookies for her son’s 7th birthday. She sent me a couple of examples she found online, and can I just say… I think they turned out adorable! We decided to go with two of the characters from the Lego Movie, some simple plaques with her son’s name and age on them, and of course, some Lego bricks.
While filming, I decided to also break down how I like to package my cookies. I think that packaging and presentation are an important part of a handmade business, so I hope you find the tips helpful! Below the video, I have a list of the supplies I used for these cookies, plus links to some of the packaging and other equipment I buy.
