My friends and I got together tonight to decorate some Valentine cookies. We had lots of fun with lots of laughter. We did some cute little Valentine cookies for our kids then some ...more creative cookies for our husbands. It was great fun and I think they turned out pretty funny!
The ones for the kids.....and now the ones for Darwin....
For those of you who don't know Royal icing is great, it taste pretty much like sugar but you can add flavoring to it. It is very thin and easily piped, smooths easily and can be used for many things. Thicker royal icing can be used to make flowers and things for cakes as well. It dries hard and smooth.
You can make it with egg white but i found Meringue Powder is much easier
Royal Icing
1/4 cup Meringue Powder
1/2 cup cold water
2 1/2-4 cups sifted powdered sugar
In a mixer combine Meringue powder and water and mix till peaks form, add powdered sugar till you have your desired consitancy. Color, fill piping bags adn have fun!
Oh, I love those ones Darwin got!! You are a creative genius!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Maybe I'll surprise Aaron on a random day with a big boobie cookie. That's something he doesn't see every day :-)
