I dearly hope that you have had a fab Christmas.
Maybe some time to relax, eat and to be merry.
What I love about having time off is that you get to do all the things that you wanted to do forever but life got in the way. One of those things for me is cookie decorating, you know the ones that are beautifully flooded with colorful icing and look good enough to eat ;0)
Finally this morning it happened, I had some time for myself, children still in bed (teenagers on holiday time, bliss) and I went to the freezer and found a tin of biscuits I had forgotten about. Sometimes everything works in your favor.
I loved every minute of it and have to make sure I have more sugar cookies in the freezer for the next time the moment presents itself.
If you would like to get some inspiration please have a look here, here and here. I might have to practice a bit more to get that good, but I will sure enjoy trying.
If you like me need a really fab tutorial please visit the bearfoot baker for some expert tips and tricks. She even has a super recipe for sugar cookies.
She makes it looks so easy and with such beautiful result.
It is pretty delicate work and takes a steady hand which I had, sometimes anyway :0)
This is the one that I am most proud over, the little rabbit with swirly pattern. I dotted small blobs of dark blue runny icing and swirled them around with a tooth pick while the white icing was still wet. The trick is to stop in time and not overdo it.
I used matches to blob and tooth picks to swirl and spread the icing.
When my daughter decided it was morning :0) she joined me and had as much fun as me.It was like a regular production line in the end!
Keep playing
