Every single time I visit I Am Baker. Every time there is inspiritation overload! I read the blog and see the photo’s and instantly want to go home and try my hand at whatever it is she had created!
But the day I saw this post, it was just before throwing a wedding shower for A. And I always wanted to try out decorating cookies with Royal Icing. And I was apparently feeling very brave… I used Amanda @I Am Baker’s sugar cookie & icing recipe and I found a very detailed ‘how-to’ at Sweetopia’s site here! Of course Amanda also has a great tutorial up as well right here… it just wasn’t up until after I made A’s cookies!
Let me start by saying the sugar cookie recipe was delicious! Not overly sweet, they complimented the icing recipe very well! My friend R-Jo came over to help me decorate them, and I think we did a pretty good job for our first time! What do you think?

(we made this one specifically for A. The initial's represent her and her new hubby. It was a joint effort that we were really quite proud of!)
We were so nervous, I think it took us 4 hours to finish decorating them, but I will definitely try making them again! Hopefully I’ll have a reason to soon…
And they were wonderful! You could taste the love and meticulous care in icing.
ReplyDeleteI just wish I could have enjoyed more. I was pretty full and a little nervous after the rehearsal dinner, so my tummy couldn't fit more than a couple bites!
Thanks, friend =o) Hopefully I'll have a reason to make some more soon and you can actually have a couple =o)
ReplyDeleteWOW!! This was your FIRST time?? I am VERY impressed!! You should see *my* first attempts.. it was not pretty!
ReplyDeleteI am just so thrilled that you tried something new and put your whole heart in it and really gifted someone else with your passion and creativity! You are a wonderful friend!!
