We will be (briefly) joining Eric's family this weekend I thought these would be a great addition to our trip. My only hesitation was that I'd never even made cookies from scratch before let alone decorate them so intricately. But I guess you have to start somewhere so I gave them a go.
Putting the dough together was a cinch and I went a head and rolled it out right away, between parchment paper, before chilling it.
This morning I got to baking and decorating.
I think the only real problem I had was getting the consistency of the icing right.
As you can see in the picture some of them bled over.
But all in all, I think not so bad for a first time decorator!
I also have to tell you about NY Cake. Martha Stewart recomends them in the magazine and since Im here in NYC I had the privledge of just popping over to their store. WOW! If you love to bake and you're in NYC, GO TO THERE !!

SO cute! Well done.
Cute! I wanted to make those, too.
The pate brisee from that magazine (crust for the cherry pie) is really great, too. I've decided it's the only crust for me from now on.
