A client sent me an AI-generated image of the cookie she wanted.
The catch? AI doesn’t have to worry about physics. Royal icing does. Those impossibly smooth gradients, razor-thin details, and floating elements aren’t things that actually hold up on a real cookie.
But I can get darn close. I studied the image, figured out what it was really going for, and built it by hand, one layer at a time.
AI can dream it up in seconds. I get to make it edible. 😉
Nonnie’s Cookie Co. makes custom decorated sugar cookies in Ottawa, IL with pick up locations in Ottawa and Joliet.
I have room for Christmas sets on my calendar…. then I’m booked out for the year!
