Gramma in a Box – “Back-to-School Treats” September 2021 Cookies and Candy Review
Gramma in a Box was sent to us via USPS, sealed in a white padded Priority Mail shipping bag. They always include a “Best By” date on the shipping bag envelope to ensure ultimate freshness!
All of Gramma in a Box’s goodies are sent in their signature red box with their cute brand logo and name on the front side of it. The box arrived in excellent condition.
This month’s theme is “Back-to-school Treats” – a box that includes back to school themed candy and cookie decorating projects!
Gramma in a box supplied everything we needed for this month’s projects! We also got 3 colored crayons!
They also included a card for the Fall Sale with example pictures of kits they offer and some finished products.
Here are details about the Fall Sale with a coupon code. You can save 20% when you order, and it is valid until October 8, 2021, only.
We got two projects for this month: Apple for the Teacher and Back to School Cookies!
Gramma in a Box included an info card of all the contents of the box. They also list what you need from your kitchen, and in this case, we only needed a microwave-safe bowl, a paper plate, knife and a fork, and toothpicks which are optional.
A separate info card is also included that lists all of the social media channels that Gramma in a Box uses. You can follow them in many social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!
Now, let’s take a closer look at each project that my kids and I made!
First Project: Apple For the Teacher
The First Project is the Apple For the Teacher Candy Decorating. Before we started, we read the information card and followed the step-by-step instructions while my daughter prepared the needed tools. We needed the red melting chocolate, fondant leaves, tootsie rolls, mini pretzel twists, and red sanding sugar for this project. The tools that we needed to provide were a knife, spoon, and fork, a microwave, and a small microwave-safe bowl.
After melting the red chocolate for 1.5 minutes in the microwave, my daughter and son put the red melting chocolate on each mini pretzel twist using a spoon.
She spread the red melting chocolate on the twisted pretzel evenly while my son sprinkled the red sanding sugar on top of it! Lucky that we had wax paper so that it wouldn't be too messy for the next cookie project!
My son added the mini tootsie roll for the apple’s stem and the fondant leaf on the upper portion of the twisted pretzel!
Here are the finished products! They look so cute and yummy to eat!
Project 2: Back-to-School Cookies
The Second Project is the Back-to-School Cookies, and we needed cookies, frosting, and sprinkles that were provided in the box. We also needed to provide scissors, a paper plate, and a knife. We also use toothpicks to help move the frosting around when needed!
My daughter started the apple-shaped cookie by putting a white frosting on the corner of it. She used a toothpick to help her even and remove the excess frosting around it. She also added blue and yellow frosting on the upper part of the apple-shaped cookie to emphasize its stem and leaf.
My son formed lines at the center of the cookie using the red frosting and carefully put the colorful mini fondant letters to form words.
Here is the finished product of the apple-shaped cookie with a famous quote! I find it amusing!
Here is another finished product of an apple-shaped cookie!
Next, my daughter put yellow and white frosting on this pencil-shaped cookie while my son added A-B-C letters at the center of it!
Here is a closer look of the finished cookies!
We put the cookies in our cheese board, and it turned out lovely! We can't wait to taste each one!
And here are all the colorful cookies that came in different shapes and sizes of letters, pencils, and even school buses! They look so good that we don't want to wreck the cookie icing by eating them!
Wrap Up
My kids had so much fun with this month's Gramma in a Box “Back to School” cookie decorating session! We enjoyed spending quality time together using our creativity and newly learned icing skills! With Gramma in a Box, cookie decorating is so easy – they send fun, seasonal-themed projects that my kiddos love (and love to eat!).
