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 !!
