Cookie Chums (The Ice Cream 'N Cookie Sandwich Gang) Yummer

To me, making toys is a journey of discovery and a constant learning adventure. Stick with me and you will always be learning new was of doing things, even as I do!

Yummer lives up to his name. His Cookie body is made of delicious, homemade oatmeal cookies baked to golden perfection and stuffed with a layer of Vanilla ice Cream, followed by pistachio Ice Cream.

His nose is made of strawberry cream and he has a fun drizzle of it on his shoes and on his back. All his features are made of yarnie colored frosting.
