I saw this wonderful "Top Ten" list over at Sweetopia on how to decorate sugar cookies using "icing flow." I was so excited because she made it look so easy. Marian, you are one talented woman. Whew! Easy is not a word I would use to describe royal icing flow work. My hands just cramp up thinking about it. This is something that you will need to practice--a lot! I am not discouraged, though, and I am determined to be a decent sugar cookie decorator, so I still see lots of cookie baking in my future. I know my kids are excited about that.
I really like her royal icing recipe and it was super easy to make. I am sad to say all the imperfections and such were all my doing. I can't blame the icing. I have now added a Kopy Kake projector to my ever growing wish list of craft supplies. I am sure if I could just project the picture on the cookie they would be much cuter. Right?
Well, I am off to bake some more sugar cookies because practice makes perfect!
{Note: This is Mandy, and I have to cut in here and say that these cookies turned out AMAZING! They were so stinkin' cute and delicious. I couldn't believe what an incredible job she did. You're too hard on yourself, Stacy!}
