YouTuber Turns Celebs’ Oscar Dresses Into Cookies
JK Denim turns Brie Larson and Robin Roberts’ dresses into shortbread cookies.
— -- From glitz and glamour to sugar and sprinkles, YouTuber Koalipops is transforming celebs’ Oscar gowns into cookies, one icing’d ensemble at a time.
When it came to deciding which Hollywood A-listers to feature, “I chose all the things I loved,” the baker, whose real name is JK Denim, wrote to ABC News. “I loved the design of Brie Larson, Cate Blanchett and Alicia Vikander's dresses, and the colors of Charlize Theron, Jared Leto and Robin Roberts’ dresses. And I can't get enough of ‘Scandal’ and Leo and Kate.”
The cookies took him about two and a half hours to complete from start to finish.
They are all shortbread cookies, but “some are burnt because I was moving way too fast and forgot to set the timer,” Denim said.
He even turned our very own Robin Roberts, co-anchor of “Good Morning America,” into an exceptionally beautiful edible treat.
“I love Robin Roberts and ‘GMA,’” he explained. “Her cookie was the easiest to design and cut out, but it took me the longest to figure out the exact color and how I could manipulate my sprinkles to recreate it.”
We think he did such a spectacular job recreating Roberts’ Badgley Mischka gown that we asked him for his recipe:
