Coming Out Cookies? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Kat1911 · 22nd Dec 2011, 09:47 PM

I told my bestie over facebook since school's over now. I'm considering getting together all my friends and giving them cookies that say "I'm Gay" in icing on the top. Thoughts? Other creative ways of coming out?

So this was the first thing that popped into my head. At 4:11.

+ YouTube Video

Anyways, yeah, do what you think will work. Granted, it's different and clever, but they better be some great, great cookies. Otherwise the message and what they taste like are gonna be forever remembered by them.

Kat1911 · 22nd Dec 2011, 11:26 PM

Yeah. If you give them terrible cookies it will forever stay in their minds as "the terrible cookies served when Kate came out." They'd have to be spectacular.

I love the idea of coming out with cookies. So wish I thought of that. Best of luck coming out to your friends and let us know how it goes.

I think the cookie idea is brilliant!! Just practice with a couple of batches to make the perfect, spectacular cookies

I think that it sounds like a good idea. I would also say practice with a couple batches of cookies as well. You don't want horrible cookies..

caughtbywitness · 23rd Dec 2011, 12:58 PM

Sounds awesome.

Heard someone sporadically walked into the nearest closet and walked out saying "Guys, I'm gay" :P

Noir · 23rd Dec 2011, 02:40 PM

Omg, that sounds so cute! Do it!

MommaFrog · 23rd Dec 2011, 04:49 PM

I think when I come out and ((well i already have, just noone beleived me)) i'm going to have HER with me ((whoever she is)) and Say something like "So, this is my girlfriend, -name-."

If you're really daring, I think there's a way to make a cake that is rainbow on the inside. Then cover it in plain frosting, maybe your face on top or something. Then explain to your friends: "This cake is me. It looks like an ordinary cake on the outside, right? Well, I have something I want to tell you all..." As you serve them the cake and the inside is all rainbow-y, that could work.

Only not funfetti. I mean like this:

I really REALLY hoped this was what you were doing when I read the title

I'm tempted to steal your idea now.

Also, the cake would be increible as well. Though the elaborateness could be a bit frightening.

i know a guy that makes rainbow cupcakes so make rainbow cookies!

Homo Novus · 23rd Dec 2011, 10:25 PM

Dammit... I wish I hadn't already come out... I never had coming out cookies.

LOL. With that in mind, I say do it up!

lucas52 · 24th Dec 2011, 12:32 AM

I like the idea.

It just gave me an idea. Coming out Cigars. Because sometimes a cigar is not just a cigar.
