Wait for it...
Royal Icing!!! Royal Icing is an art. It requires the right supplies, patience, timing, and planning. It isn't like the delicious buttercream we are all accustomed to...it won't make your mouth water...but WOW!!! It sure gives you THAT look. Those stares from people saying, "where did you buy these cookies?" And it is a chance to take pride in your baking and gosh darn it to actually be able to tell what shape cookie cutter you actually used.!!!
I will be posting a tutorial on royal icing next week as I make Thanksgiving turkey cookies for my Thanksgiving dinner! Gobble gooble. Till then, here are some pictures of cookies I have done and experimented on in the past couple weeks...
These were my very first attempts. I am learning more and trying harder designs now-a-days. I made some very detailed, super cute Halloween cookies that I will share with you soon. I must give credit where credit is due. Annie at Annies Eats has an amazing royal icing tutorial on her blogspot. I learned the craft from her and used some of her designs...very simplified for my first attempts. Mine are very humble in comparison but...someday... Check her out... she is one of my blog heroines! You will definitely find something you LOVE there!
Oh my goodness Lindsey. This is amazing. I wish I lived closer, I would pay you to cook for me!! I would love to say, I would pay you to teach me to cook, but honestly, cooking is not my best feauture, so I would much rather pay you to cook for me! I would never tell Eric that you made them, and he would be so proud!!
