I prefer the ones without writing because I like things that look less "handled" but they're all gorgeous! and definitely don't put the tefillin parallel!!

They are gorgeous. I like round with tefillin.

I thought of straps, but they'd have to be very narrow ribbons, and kids might accidentally swallow them. Maybe black fondant straps? Hmm.

Less "gepatchked" is classier and more professional, so I vote for no words. No opinion on the shape.

I vote for the Mazel Tov ones!

THEY ARE GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!

you are so talented!
but I wouldnt make them too much in advance - I'd be scared if the "tefillin" will fall off when packed in the freezer.......

what will u make the straps out of?
if u use the mazel tov ribbon that you used on your other tefillin cookies then you wont have to write mazel tov again.

or you can melt chocolate and pipe it on next to the tefilin as straps and have them flow a bit towards the front to fill in (haha - tefillin and to fill in very similar) the empty white space.

can we think of any black candies that can be rolled and flattened out - and then you can cut them into strips...

if you make the straps out of fondant you have to start with a dark fondant base color = otherwise your black gel food coloring will only make the white fondant darker and darker shades of grey..... frustrating.

I just thought if you dont want to use the edible markers to make the straps - u can water down some black or dark chocolate brown food gel and use a brand new small paint brush to paint on the tefillin straps.

or you can melt the same chocolate that you are using with a bit of oil and paint on the straps if you dont want to pipe them.

I would do a few practice runs before hand....

OMG, can you giving classes on imamother?

I like all three cookies, but I like the mazel tov ones the most.

I decided to stick with the Mazel Tov cookies. With my rav's approval, obviously. Wink
