Hi there!
Hope all of you are having a good start to 2012 and hope this year is filled with lots of sweet things for you.
I’m excited to start my year with some fun cookie themes, like these Parisian ones here. I’ll be doing a travelling series of Around the World decorated cookies, and I just happened to begin my journey with Paris, France.
As part of this post, I thought I’d share with you how I dry my
cookies after I’ve decorated them with royal icing. It seems like such a
simple thing but if you’re new to cookie decorating there can be lots
of questions about how to do it so that your cookies turn out. You can
find all my tips in this video here (I’ve put it here in the post again
in case you missed it because sometimes the page takes a while to load):
Video on How to Dry Cookies Decorated with Royal Icing
Something I didn’t mention in the video, is that the cookie shapes
were made using templates I made, not cutters. I thought I had an Eiffel
Tower cookie cutter and when I went to look in my (eep, hundreds of)
cutters, I didn’t actually have one.
Either way, if you’re not making too many of these, cutting the
cookies out with a template and paring knife, isn’t difficult, it just
takes a bit longer than using a cutter.
You can find an Eiffel Tower cookie cutter here,
and for the other shapes you can be creative and use other cutters you
already have. Take for example the dachshund, Cindy asked on facebook if it was from a stocking cookie cutter. It wasn’t, but it easily could have been. Thanks for the idea, Cindy!
I’m thinking these would work as romantic Valentine cookies too, don’t you?
Now I’ve got some questions for you…
Where in the world do you live? Are there buildings, things or
symbols from your city or country which you think would make great
cookies?
Share your thoughts with me here in the comment section below, or you can share them on Facebook or twitter. I can’t wait to see where you’re from and which cookies you’d love to see!
Happy decorating!
xo,
Marian
p.s. I’ve linked these cookies to TidyMom’s I’m Lovin’ It. Check out her page for lots of amazing and fun ideas!
by Jillian Phillips, I just had to make a cookie version. Thank you to Jillian and Lilla Rogers for
allowing me to use her images! They were so fun to make, and really
quite simple once you know a bit about piping royal icing. If you need
some guidance, a good place to start is with my Cookie Decorating Tutorial, and two videos on Icing Consistency and How to Pipe Icing Lines.
