Mystery Shape Guessing Game

Awhile back, on my facebook fans page:  http://www.facebook.com/KudosKookies   I played a simple cookie guessing game with all those friendly and wonderfully smart people who are fans of my cookies.  It was a great deal of fun for all, and so enjoyable that I wanted to share how the game was played with you here.  

The rules of the game were this.  I posted two shapes of cookies and asked people to guess what they thought the shape would ultimately become.  Simple, yes.  Easy, not so much.  Here are the shapes and some of the first guesses I’d received:

A pig, a fire hydrant, easter basket, cactus and slot maching. Nope all wrong. Care to take a guess?  How about this:

Some guesses were:  A dog, a fat sheep, a victrola and a flying toaster. Yep, somebody actually guessed a flying toaster.  Sorry, all wrong. What about you? Care to venture a guess? 

How about now…Will these extra clues help you??? I doubt it…but you never know.

Some other guesses for mystery shape one and two at this point were:  Fred and Dino (LOVE that idea for cookies but, no), a baby eskimo and a polar bear or Kenny from Southpark and a peacock.  They were all such good guesses but so far nobody has guessed correctly. 

All right, give up?  Here are the finished cookies in all their glory.  Are you surprised?  I hope so

Mystery shape number one, from template to completion.  A lovely fairy princess for a little girl’s birthday party.

Mystery shape number two, from template to completion.  A cute little purple dragon.  Oh by the way, somebody did actually guess a dragon for this cookie in clue round #4 on facebook, and the winner was sent the dragon cookie as her prize.  Sweet!

Well, there you have it.  I hope you enjoyed this little guessing game as much as I enjoyed bringing it to you.  I’m planning on doing another guessing game soon and I’ve got some great ideas running around in my head.  As another gentle reminder, you may want to keep up to date with me (Kudos Kookies) on facebook.  Here is another shameless link so you can find me easily there:   http://www.facebook.com/KudosKookies    Remember, you can’t win if you don’t play and if you don’t play you’re missing out on a great deal of fun AND some great tasting cookies!!! 

I’d like to take a quick moment to send a quick shout out to all my facebook fans.  Thank you ALL so much for your constant encouragement of my work and designs.  It’s because of people like you who inspire me each and every day to keep coming up with new and unusual cookie designs.  KUDOS to you!!! 

 Have fun, be sweet and stay tuned!    

Fondly, Reneé
