An Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan decided to bake cookies which look equally mouth-watering and adorable. The creations garnered plenty of praise which is well-deserved, as every single likeness of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons villagers looks as if it was created by a professional.
If there is one thing in common among all Animal Crossing fans, it is that they all seem to display high levels of creativity, and the general enjoyment of making various items that remind them of their favorite characters. Almost every day, new images pop up all over the community, showcasing ingenious ideas from clothing to home decorations, and now food. It's a phenomenon that spurs others and leads to even more great ideas, with the newest among them being some amazing cookies.
Animal Crossing Cookies Show Just How Clever Fans Can Be
The images for these cookies were posted to Reddit by shootthewendy, who shared with readers that the occasion for this new batch was their birthday. In the picture, the cookies are all neatly lined up, showing the faces of Animal Crossing villagers like Tom Nook, K.K. Slider, Merengue, Isabelle, Blathers and Celeste. The craftsmanship on the cookies is remarkable, with praise voiced by nearly every commenter alongside some birthday wishes for shootthewendy. Some even asked about the secret of creating such professional-looking icing, and the answer is fairly simple. During the quarantine, shootthewendy decided to follow in the steps of their favorite cookie creators, which shows how anyone can pick up the hobby.
Browsing shootthewendy's page reveals countless beautiful creations from Harry Potte r potion cookies to 60s retro-themed Christmas cookies. The secret, apparently, is using royal icing, because if someone gets it wrong the first time, it's easy to wipe it all off the cookie and start again. According to one comment, one of the most difficult Animal Crossing: New Horizons villagers to recreate is K.K. Slider, yet the likeness, in this case, is perfect. But shootthewendy explains that it's likely because of his large forehead, which can make people unsure about where to place his features.
It's easy to call shootthewendy inspirational because they exemplify the idea of anyone being capable of creating cookies that look professional with a bit of practice. They're very open with their explanations and candid when it comes to revealing they got the faces wrong themselves at times, the secret really is just being consistent and trying until someone gets the desired result. With that in mind, hopefully plenty of fans will be inspired to create their own Animal Crossing cookies. Not only do they look delicious, but just like with other real life creations, they serve as a fun way for creative gamers to pay tribute to a beloved franchise.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
