Who doesn't love personalized goods? (I'm sure that some people will respond, "Anyone over the age of eleven," but that doesn't explain the appeal of vanity plates on cars.) Customizing an item just for the intended recipient is likely to make them feel special no matter what their age is... particularly if it's their
birthday.
Sure, if you have something to say, and you want to eat your words, you can buy sugar letters for birthday
cakes at almost any store that sells
baking supplies. There are more creative ways to personalize treats, though:
Craftster user Jsully03 made cookies that use American Sign Language manual alphabet letters to spell out a message to her young daughter, who was born deaf.
To duplicate her creation, all you need is a
sugar cookie recipe (
premade cookie dough is just fine), a
hand-shaped cookie cutter with relatively well-defined fingers (you'll be shaping them into different positions; try local stores for
the Wilton version), knowledge of the
ASL manual alphabet, and, of course, an oven and a baking pan.
More impish bakers may be unable to resist using this idea to
show the world how they feel about rock 'n roll; I certainly wouldn't blame them for doing so.
