My friend Adriana came over after lunch and helped make all of the royal icing and flood icing. That part takes quite a bit of time so we only had an hour or so to decorate before she had to leave, but that was enough time to get some cookies decorated. It was a lot of fun having company for the decorating. I think next time it would be nice to have several people here to decorate cookies.
I ended up staying up fairly late to finish decorating the rest of the cookies. It's almost therapeutic though because it's something completely different from what I normally do. I put the cookies in a ceramic flower pot and put fake flowers around the outside of the pot. I even put plastic wrap on it mainly to keep the cats from messing with it Saturday night, but I also thought it made it look very professional.
I owe you some photos! :-)
ReplyDeleteThese were really fun to do. Thanks so much for sharing.
I saw the ones Adriana made and wow! Those did look professional. They smelled delicious too!
ReplyDeleteOh Andrea, they're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Elizabeth, I think using vanilla bean paste instead of just vanilla really made a huge difference in smell and taste.
