Valentine's Day Cookies

There's this awesome ol'time (old school) band who's members are a sample of what's great about each of the nations in the West Indies... The Tradewinds were awesome! The very definition of the word! Their most famous contribution to the Caribbean genre was a song called "Sweet Talk" and my client requested Valentines cookies inspired by the lyrics of the song. Another job I absolutely adored! Slapped on some Tradewinds and got to piping!

Here's the song :)

"Ah love yuh like a toilet love a flush"

"Ah love yuh like a hotdog love a bun"

"Ah love yuh like a toothpaste love a brush"

This was my favorite of the bunch! On the tube I wrote "Happy Teet's BESSSS Teetspase! Fights REAL germs dred!"

Left cup says "Dis is a bres' job!" ("Bes'" in Trinidad is like saying "that is the best" whatever the subject is... eg. "my daughter is a bes' child!" means "my daughter is awesome!")

Right cup says "De bigger de better!"

Not from the song but Tony Rebel contributed this line to every man fond of cheesy pick up lines the world over! "Ah love yuh like a fresh vegetable"

Here's the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ5mBg2b744

I just love his bomcey! That's Trini for "butt" by the way. Figured since this was a line about plumbers there had to be a plumber's crack on this cookie somehow... And it had to be 3D!

Not sure if "grog" is a universal term for "booze" but I'm sure everyone gets the jest of this. The drunk and disorderly fellow is saying to his bottle of rum "De only time ah doh love you darlin' is when you empty!" and said bottle of rum is giving him a hard stueps. A "stueps" is definitely a Trini thing! Its the noise you make when you "suck your teeth". Looked for a sound clip for y'all but no luck. Here's the definition though: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=steups

Awww... Such beautiful love!

Not my favorite of the bunch but she wanted this line so here it was.
