Paradise Sweets, Inc. Shark Sugar Cookie Review & Giveaway

by EJ on 08/14/12

      

Sharks can be so sweet. Don't believe me? Keep reading.

Paradise Sweets of Honolulu, Hawaii has partnered with Four Little Monsters to give away a dozen Shark Sugar Cookies in honor of Crazy for Shark Week.

These sugar cookies are made using a buttery sugar cookie recipe with a subtle vanilla royal icing. They measure 3'' by 1'' inches and are sold by the dozen, individually packaged in cellophane bags with ribbon.
Paradise Sweets sent the monsters and I a box of these super cute sugar cookie sharks. The presentation was fabulous. Each shark cookie arrived safely in its own small cellophane bag tied with blue ribbon between layers of white tissue paper.


My monsters have been gobbling up these delicious sugar cookies since Shark Week premiered on Sunday night. Of course, I've snuck in a bite here and there, too - okay, a few bites.

My husband gets all freaked out by cookie icing. To his surprise, the royal icing flavor was not overwhelming at all. We all agreed they were truly delicious and surprisingly light. The subtle vanilla flavor complimented the rest of the cookie so well. The icing design itself was so smooth and so perfect. I couldn't find one imperfection! The silly eyes were just adorable and made ML giggle hysterically. These shark cookie treats were a real hit. KM loved that the cookies were made in Hawaii just for us.

If you think these shark sugar cookies are cute, then you might want to check out Paradise Sweets on Etsy. Aubrey of Paradise Sweets is one talented baker and her assortment of cookie designs and styles is amazing. If you're totally digging the shark cookie idea, then also see her sugar cookie cupcake toppers shaped like shark fins!

There are so many options; I can just imagine all the party themes that Paradise Sweets cookies could accommodate. The artistry and attention to detail is exquisite.
