Sugar Cookie Strawberry Pies + Behind the Scenes Tip

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Wet-Nap®, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #ConquerTheMess

These Sugar Cookie Strawberry Pies are the perfect alternative to a traditional homemade strawberry pie. Sugar cookie cup, strawberries & drizzled with glaze, then topped with whipped cream make a delectable treat. Psst… I’m also sharing a few behind the scenes pics on how I clean up after a messy shoot like this.

Look at these. Little mini strawberry pies made with sugar cookie cups. So good.

Putting together yummy treats like these can be really messy though.  I’m constantly touching the food to position it just right. In this case the whipped cream kept sliding off the tops of the strawberries. I adjusted it more times than I can count before I decided to just let it be.

This is the aftermath of drizzling all that strawberry glaze on top of each one.  It’s a STICKY MESS!  I usually keep a wet washcloth near by for wiping my hands & cleaning up spills & things like this.  I don’t want to have to keep running down the hall to wash my hands every time I touch the food.

But now I have a much better solution! Did you know that these Wet-Nap® Cleansing Wipes are perfect for this sort of thing?  (I picked them up at Walmart) I can have the package right there in the studio with me  all the time. It has an easy open/close top to keep them perfectly moist for whenever I need one.  I sooooo love that they have just enough cleaner in them so my hands aren’t sticky before I pick up my camera again for the next shot.  I can tell you – I would be lost without these!

Visit Walmart for all your Wet-Nap® needs: 110-Count Hands, Face, & Body Cleansing Wipes, 24-Count Packettes Antibacterial Hand Wipes and 40-Count Canister Antibacterial Hand Wipes (while supplies last)

These are positively delicious & worth all the mess they made so I could share them with you all here today.
