Most of the time when I talk about trash cookies, I think of cookies that don't turn out and should end up in the trash. (Usually, they end up in my belly). This time I'm hoping the cookies look like something you would find in the trash. Yep, I made trash cookies... on purpose!
Trash Cookies
Trash Cookies
Today, my hubby is taking his employees out for lunch to celebrate one of their birthdays. Yes, we have a small garbage company, he's a Garbologist and I'm The Partiologist. Obviously, we were meant to be. So he asked me to make some cookies (he doesn't ask often). So I decided to make trash cookies for the celebration. What little boy or grown man wouldn't want to eat cookies that looked like this? I just hope they know what they are, and I'm wondering if you know?
My plan was to have them presented in a mini galvanized garbage pail. Only they would really look like trash if I stacked them on top of one another. I decided to place them on a trash bag in my cookie box.
Who would have thought that making trash cookies would be so complicated.
Can YOU figure them out? If not this is what they are:
Leftover Pizza
Old Newspaper
Spring Cleanup Tree Branches
Notebook Paper
Nails in Wood
Starbucks Cup
Torn Whole Foods Bag
Milk Carton
Pretzel Bag
Tire
Sod
Hershey's Wrapper
Now that I made trash cookies, I needed someplace to dump them.
And I needed a Birthday Cake.
A Landfill Cake~
Because I was tired from making all the trash cookies, I just wanted to finish and clean up my mess. So I baked and frosted a mound shaped cake and filled the landfill up with all kinds of trash.
Broken cookies, tin foil, wax paper, cupcake wrappers, coffee filters, all kinds of food safe trash.
Happy Birthday Jerry!
I hope you have a Trashy Day!
These are hilarious - I love them! Cheryl
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl, I got a kick out of making them! :)
DeleteThey are totally hilarious. I hope the birthday boy appreciated your talent and hard work. I especially love the nails in the wood. So clever!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth - Tim had no idea what the nails in wood cookie was - I pretty much had to tell him what all of them were! :)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer - I'm anxious to see how the "birthday boy" liked them! :)
DeleteHahaha! These are great!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! I was told they loved them even though they couldn't figure all of them out! :)
DeleteI'm giggling here!! I wish my trash looked this yummy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tami - I started by just making blobs, but it didn't look right, so more work was involved then I had planned! :)
DeleteSo creative! And that Landfill Cake is ingenious!
ReplyDeleteThe landfill cake was the easiest cake I've ever made! :)
DeleteHa! that's awesome and perfect for the business. Totally unexpected I imagine too.
ReplyDeleteThey were surprised and it was a good think I made extra cookies to eat because they all wanted to take some trash home!
DeleteI SNORTED at the garbologist! You're a hoot!
ReplyDeleteI love it when someone snorts! I thought Garbologist sounded more professional then garbage man...HA HA :)
