Fandom baking

Over in
soc_puppet's journal there was much discussion of cookie flavours related to Miraculous Ladybug fandom, and it inspired me!
I'm not familiar with the fandom involved, at all (I think it's basically a manga? But also French? And from that post it seems it might be superhero-related?) but once somebody suggested lavender shortbread I really couldn't stop myself. I love making shortbread and coming up with new variations, so I ran to the kitchen and tried out the idea!
These are actually lavender-violet, because why stop with one purple floral? :D My decor came out less lovely than I had hoped; the food colour was new, and didn't make a very pretty purple. Oh, well; they still taste good! :D

I've toyed with the idea of making my own; maybe next year I'll get ready in time to try making some extracts! There's plenty of honeysuckle here, and if I'm quick perhaps I could even try cherry blossom...
