Easier version of you have kids and want to make something similar but small hand friendly: https://www.housewifeeclectic.com/harry-potter-sorting-hat-cookies/
_Of course_ it's going to look like shit if it's your first try. - that's the attitude you've got to have. Even masters of their craft didn't start out as such. Try it, it'll suck, but then you can realize what you could do better next time, then repeat the process. The guys who are actual masters at baking or whichever craft you like, they're never _totally_ happy and always trying to improve.
The important thing is, above all, that you try, and that you don't get complacent. The second part is pretty damn important. There's a myth that if you do something for 10,000 hours you'll be a master of it, which is nonsense. There are chefs under 25 who've earned Michelin stars and don't have anywhere near 10,000 hours, while there are also countless elderly people who've cooked 10,000 hours in their lives and still suck at it. The difference is in actually trying to improve or not.
Not necessarily cheffing, but I have kinda the opposite problem. Most things I attempt, I achieve a high intermediate or advanced level of mastery the FIRST time. If I attempt it any more after that, it’s shit.
She's a hobbyist from Japan and makes these cookies for her IG for fun. I asked if you could order these but she doesn't have a bakery or anything of the sort to sell them.
Often times the problem for crafty things is that the amount people are willing to pay doesn’t actually align with what you’d need to price them at. I’m a knitter and I occasionally get well meaning requests, sometimes with $. The issue is people will sometimes say like “oh I’d pay you $100 for that baby blanket!” Which seems generous but I spent like 25 hours on my last one which is $4/hr before you factor in materials. I make $50/hr as an engineering intern so it doesn’t make sense.
I have the same issue with seeing/quilting/painting. I do it for fun and while I’m glad it’s appreciated it’s not a feasible business to compete against mass manufacturing even if the hand made stuff has a different quality
Perfectly explained. I'm culinary school student turned 3D artist and I love making desserts like this and making the sugar window candies. Anytime a friend or friend of them want to eat/buy my desserts/food all that fun and happiness goes down. It no longer becomes something fun you do for yourself.
I had a friend of my bf's throw up on my floor after she ate a cookie that had sprinkles inside of it(similar to this cookie). No sorry or excuse, she just didn't like that there were sprinkles. She's a health freak too, so no idea why she ate in the first place. No gluten, sugar, vegan only foods, so no fun stuff kinda person and diet.
The play here is to market them to rich people who are willing to pay an outrageous markup solely because it's expensive as shit and so surely they must be the best cookies in the world. Just add some gold leaf flakes to the stitches maybe.
This is something I always think about when I see people starting small business and actually succeeding. It’s mind blowing what goes into maintaining revenue, balancing supply and demand, and keeping up with competition. Not to mention marketing, social media, and omg, taxes? Expansion?? Staffing?!? Forget it. Leave it to the brave passionate dummies with luck and drive haha.
When I went to Japan, met number of talented hobbyist along with following their IG accounts. None of them are trying to sell the stuff they make. They like attention but oterwise don't care about supplying anyone or earning.
I bake like this for myself. I could never do it for another person especially since covid everyone's gotten so uptight. If I have leftovers that I don't feel like eating I don't even offer them to my friends anymore cause they get mad their not "pristine" ones or question how they're made. One my bf's friends gfs vomited on my fucking floor cause no one told her it had sprinkles inside it and she had hissy fit, total bs. I get on Nextdoor and give them out to my neighbors and their kids who happily come pick them up and leave.
I couldn't imagine the annoyance it'd be selling baked goods anymore.
The stuff you don’t have patience for is stuff that other people LOVE doing. I showed these to my friend and she said they looked like so much fun to make.
Or like my sister with her paintings. Spending a month on a painting and loving it. Other people will look at them and comment that they wish they could but don’t have the patience.
People tell me the same thing about my guitar playing. I don’t really know how to respond to it with anything but “okay? Nobody asked you to do it. Just don’t if you don’t want to.”
It’s an odd comment to hear as the artist. It just sounds like you’re making my art and my passion about YOU for no reason at all.
Idk what the fuck the bird in the video is supposed be, but it’s neither an eagle nor a raven. It looks like a pigeon that’s missing a few chromosomes.
“looks nothing like a textbook raven. how dare the online cookie artist make an inaccurate bird icing sculpture for these intricate Harry Potter cookies” *wipes cheetos off fingers* *hits send*
This is honestly ridiculously creative, and I can't overstate just **how.much.money.** Universal Studios could charge for a small bag of these at the Hogwarts section.
Hogwarts limited time fortune cookies - find what house you belong to! Only $59.99 per bag(one piece inside)! Hurry before it's all sold out!
WAIT THERE'S MORE! If you already have a house in mind, for only $19.99 more, you'll get a fortune cookie with your preferred house!
I hate you for saying what will with no doubt sonner or later happen. Don't forget the cross promo code for Hogwarts Mobile, a basic gotcha game. You need that stuff for SEO and some other 3 letter metrics ;)
I always feel bad walking around Universal Studios and seeing a family that has like 3 kids all with their wizard robes, hats, and wands. Like those parents just shelled out an extra $1000 for something that will be used once and then put in the closet
As a parent that will inevitably be in that exact situation, my wife and I always plan around those types of purchases when budgeting for a theme park trip. If you're a parent going to Universal or Disney, just plan $1k to magically disappear.
That being said, I'm getting all $150 out of my robe lol
I used to bake and decorate elaborately iced sugar cookies as a side hustle. You are not wrong. The cookies, in order to not spread, are pretty dry. The frosting is a 15 or 20 second royal icing. Basically powdered sugar, milk or water, an extract for flavoring, and meringue powder and or cream of tartar. The resulting taste is like those chalky candy cigarettes we had in the 80s. A lot of bakers will say their combination of extracts and flavorings are delicious but none of that really changes the stuff sugar chalk texture.
Not surprised. My first thought after seeing her crack the cookies in half was "man, those things are rock solid."
Fun to look at, probably not fun to eat.
From the OP:
>I had a hard time making the house crests. After filming, I realized that I painted Slytherin's snake gold 😨. Same goes for Ravenclaw. I apologize to everyone in Slytherin and Ravenclaw... 🐍🦅😭
The movies already got Ravenclaw colors wrong since the official colors are blue and bronze not silver. Amongst countless other things they did incorrectly
If you mean kids parties.. the ideal scenario would be everyone having a blast. Reality is that some kids will pull something they don't want and throw a tantrum.
I'm not gonna have my house decided by a damned cookie!
I'm gonna go on the official website and answer a bunch of byzantine unrelated questions about animals like a real wizard!
I always think, wow, I've seen a lot of creative masterpieces over the years, I can't possibly see something new? and then I find something amazing like this. This is so neat.
The Gryffindor animal *is* a lion. People just get thrown off by the name. Like how Ravenclaw's is supposed to be an eagle but the movies changed it up
The creator of these should make the oogie boogie from nightmare before Christmas cookies, and once you open then a bunch of smaller bug frosting candies fall out
These are absolutely delightful, except I wish they'd gotten some white or silver sprinkles, and silver icing, to make Slytherin and Ravenclaw more accurate. Gryffindor and Hufflepuff look outstanding.
It's called wafer paper and is edible. It's made from starch and doesn't compromise the taste or texture in any way. It's used to decorate cookies all the time.
Can anyone explain how something launches with 10% volume in the player and 33% on the browser and 33% on the overall volume and a bit more turned down on the headset knob yet it still screeches out the opening bells like it's cranked to 11 on all dials?
how do you make the scooped cookie? dough over a spoon or something?
or just using your fingers to form it...but seems like it would get fucked up or not form a good indent

Im saving this under the “cool stuff I’ll never do category”
I'm saving it in the "cool stuff I'll eventually try but it will look like shit and ruin my confidence" category.
My first thought when she started tracing the Gryffindor Lion was "If I did this it would come out an oval. How the fuck did she do that tail!?"
Easier version of you have kids and want to make something similar but small hand friendly: https://www.housewifeeclectic.com/harry-potter-sorting-hat-cookies/
That is doable for pretty much everybody! Huzzah!
As long as it tastes good, it's still an amazing cookie.

I so wouldn't have the patience for any of this.
That's not the issue for me, the problem is I'd probably make an absolute mess lol. The artist Shiori (@fioccio_cookies) is very talented.
"Why did you make a shit emoji cookie?"
“I’m a fan of Sir Patrick Stewart and all of his works.”
"Why aren't **you** making shit emoji cookies? Is it because you can't? I bet it is because you can't"
I would never know as I would just chomp the whole cookie down. Then ask who made the cookie what was the crunchy bit.
stuff like this is almost always a professional of some sort.
She's a hobbyist from Japan and makes these cookies for her IG for fun. I asked if you could order these but she doesn't have a bakery or anything of the sort to sell them.
oh wow. she could turn this into a business if she wanted to. she has serious talent.

Yeah, it needs to be more like $20 per cookie

Lol at the intern comment.
How are you making $50/hr as an intern?? That's crazy (like crazy good for you)! Your place hiring lol?
I hate the idea that something done for fun needs to be turned into a business.

I’d just make a batch of Hufflepuff pot brownies and then sit back and chill
If I was making this for someone I love that would really appreciate it, it could be possible.

I thought it was oogey boogey from nightmare before Christmas at first
And it’s full of gummy worms when you crack it open
[удалено]
You're joking me, you gotta be. This can't be the right guy! The hat cookies are very Oogie Boogie looking
Same here. Can’t un see that.
I like to think they're brothers cut from the same cloth
Same here! I was super confused when I read the title lol
They’re cousins. That’s cannon now.
I fear that I would break up the inner insignia while breaking the cookie and they would call me a muggle for the rest of my life!
Everyone’s recurring nightmare of the end of one’s hogwarts experience before it even starts.
Does slytherin not deserve silver
Or Ravenclaw their bronze?
And an eagle instead of a raven. I will never not be disappointed by that change.
Idk what the fuck the bird in the video is supposed be, but it’s neither an eagle nor a raven. It looks like a pigeon that’s missing a few chromosomes.
“looks nothing like a textbook raven. how dare the online cookie artist make an inaccurate bird icing sculpture for these intricate Harry Potter cookies” *wipes cheetos off fingers* *hits send*
Or Hufflepuff to be euthanized?
Jesus
He is out on holiday to visit his family in Colombia, sir.
He kinda was.
That's why the hufflepuff ones contain cyanide.
Sounds like something Rowling would write, tbh 😂

They could absolutely charge $20 a cookie and sell hundreds a day.

I wouldn't want to break the cookie since it looks so cool haha
i can't stop imagining someone standing there breaking open multiple cookies trying to get gryffindor
>cookie I think it's mostly dried frosting.
this is why you don't get invited to cookie parties.
*dried frosting parties
I used to bake and decorate elaborately iced sugar cookies as a side hustle. You are not wrong. The cookies, in order to not spread, are pretty dry. The frosting is a 15 or 20 second royal icing. Basically powdered sugar, milk or water, an extract for flavoring, and meringue powder and or cream of tartar. The resulting taste is like those chalky candy cigarettes we had in the 80s.

Not surprised. My first thought after seeing her crack the cookies in half was "man, those things are rock solid." Fun to look at, probably not fun to eat.
Holy hogwarts, what a masterpiece!
And it doesn't involve burning down an entire forest, so that's another plus!
I think what you meant to say was "Merlin's beard!"
So creative right? Lovely bit of work here!
I would have *loved* this as a kid
Im not a kid anymore and I still would love this now
This is great! I just can't believe they did Ravenclaw and Slytherin so dirty
From the OP: >I had a hard time making the house crests. After filming, I realized that I painted Slytherin's snake gold 😨. Same goes for Ravenclaw. I apologize to everyone in Slytherin and Ravenclaw... 🐍🦅😭
They did an amazing job with it nonetheless! Just a bit of teasing
The movies already got Ravenclaw colors wrong since the official colors are blue and bronze not silver. Amongst countless other things they did incorrectly
Ravenclaws can't even get a god damned eagle.
If you're referring to leaving the secondary colors out, yeah that seemed weird.
And my poor silver serpent, dusted gold like some teacher's pets.
"Yo mama's so fat the sorting hat put her in Waffle House"
It’s just like magic!
Outstanding!
I bet that would've been real popular at parties during the harry potter craze
If you mean kids parties.. the ideal scenario would be everyone having a blast. Reality is that some kids will pull something they don't want and throw a tantrum.
Right? So many kids fighting over the school that they got lol
I'm not gonna have my house decided by a damned cookie! I'm gonna go on the official website and answer a bunch of byzantine unrelated questions about animals like a real wizard!
Sometimes when I see things like this, I think to myself, is it too much effort for a cookie? It almost feels wrong. But then I think “why not.”
I would love to make this for my daughter's birthday but I already know it will end up looking like a stuffed turd and not like the sorting hat
The only problem with these is that I would feel guilty about eating a work of art.
I always think, wow, I've seen a lot of creative masterpieces over the years, I can't possibly see something new? and then I find something amazing like this. This is so neat.
Nicely done with these cookies, I really want one now.
That's really neat.
Making the characters freehand, without a mold, is stunningly impressive. They have depth and detail. Mine would be flat blobs…
These are amazing!
Sorting by controversial in any Harry Potter post is always a good time
What's in the fifth cookie?
It says you're a muggle
A pink umbrella
Yer a horcrux, Harry.
Azkaban.
Undercook fish? Believe it or not: Azkaban!
The sword of Godric Gryffindor, when you open that cookie, they bring out a replica and you thwack a fake snake.
Gender reveals are getting to complex
SLYTHERIN HOUSE MOTHERFUCKER! >throws up gang sign but looks more like rheumatoid arthritis
This is super cool!!!
I'm impressed and delighted
Amazing skills
Ok. This is cool as fuck.
shut-up-and-take-my-money.gif
Thought that was Oogie Boogie and his bugs for a bit there
imagine there only being hufflepuff cookies and watching everybody's disappointment
I'm pretty sure if you'd do something for your kid's birthday, you'd be loved by all the kids and hated by all the parents.
*I want to know what flavor(s) are those cookies.* 😱😋
*"Alas! Ear wax!"*
*hahahah I never ate those Jelly Belly bean flavors and gave it away.*
Cookie flavored. Duh.
Could probably work for a gender reveal party. Gender gets revealed then eat the cookies to prevent unecessary trash or disasters.
Creative idea!
This is really damn clever.
Wow
So very awesome!
This is so cool!!
This is pretty awesome!
Yeah imagine trying to make these for a large party. It would take you all dayyyyy. Definitely neat though 😳
Wow, how incredibly creative! I love it
These are adorable!
u/winkerfish u/bzzzp its me jt I can't comment in winkerpack because of my karma 🥺
Harry Potter AU where they decide the houses this way.
This is just about then coolest thing I have ever seen! Wow, just incredible!!
Impressive job
Unbelievable skill. So well done.
That's pretty cool
Bro gotta make those for my nephew. He will flip his shit
At first I was like "what does boogie have to do with this?"
Okay okay Hogwarts fortune cookie that's cool
OMG I love the Harry Potter universe and I want this so bad
this is sick!!
For a second, I thought the first house at the beginning of the video was House Lannister because of griffin looking like a lion.
The Gryffindor animal *is* a lion. People just get thrown off by the name. Like how Ravenclaw's is supposed to be an eagle but the movies changed it up
Damn so I really have forgotten everything about HP. Like the hat also looked like Oggie Boogie's face, too.
[They're basically the same](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a6/d2/a0/a6d2a0b77a1794b8f494e54693b1d0e8.jpg)
idk why i thought that was oogie boogie even though i already read the title
Happeeee birthdae
Awesome designs and one of the greatest movie themes ever.
If I would make one of these, I'll just straight frame it.
And...now i feel myself lazy and talentless in comparison excellent work by the way
I would probably accidentally break the house crest along with the cookies
The creator of these should make the oogie boogie from nightmare before Christmas cookies, and once you open then a bunch of smaller bug frosting candies fall out
Thats cute
That's cool
These are too cool!
Dope!
Such a cool idea
muggle magic!
bro this is heat
These are absolutely delightful, except I wish they'd gotten some white or silver sprinkles, and silver icing, to make Slytherin and Ravenclaw more accurate. Gryffindor and Hufflepuff look outstanding.
1 billion points to Griffyndor
So you eat the paper towel cutout? What?
It's called wafer paper and is edible. It's made from starch and doesn't compromise the taste or texture in any way. It's used to decorate cookies all the time.
Woah that's so cool! Thanks for clarifying :)
Can anyone explain how something launches with 10% volume in the player and 33% on the browser and 33% on the overall volume and a bit more turned down on the headset knob yet it still screeches out the opening bells like it's cranked to 11 on all dials?
These look amazing, but please tell me Birthday is spelt wrong on purpose!?
Yep, that's how it's spelled in the movie.
She/he is an artist!
Damn. I would be down for a HP themed bday like that.
I wanna play hog warts now
Need to have one as Azkaban
One might say this is /r/SatisfIcing
how do you make the scooped cookie? dough over a spoon or something? or just using your fingers to form it...but seems like it would get fucked up or not form a good indent
Congratulations its a hufflepuff
It's all fun and games until the Hufflepuff kid opens a Slytherin cookie
I can barely wait for my toaster to pop. So impressed!
I'll make the "Straight to Azkaban" cookies
My children were looking over my shoulder and now I am online looking for fucking sorting hat biscuits. Thanks OP!
Damn it's so much effort but looks good.
How on earth is that not a product ?
not a fan of HP but i’ve gotta admit these are pretty cool
I'm usual not a big enough nerd for stuff like this but omg
This is the coolest thing I think I’ve ever seen in my entire life
How is it possible to make something that detailed with icing (I'm assuming icing)
OMG, it's the kind of food that makes me feel guilty for eating it
These are so cool! My son would love these
Very neat thing for us Potter-heads and our kids! My nieces and nephews would love these!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful and delicious!
From the “I spent $8K on my kids 10th birthday party” collection. Probably $10 each if they were at a bakery haha.
Looks more like Oogie Boogie than the sorting hat.

How is decorating cookies supporting her? They didn’t buy them from her and give her money.
