Tea Cookies.... take two
Well this has been bad week for me. I had a lot of personal downs but like in any job the show must go on and these Bridal shower cookies weren't going to decorate themselves. I thought that I had all my stuff organized...But as a told a friend {this week ironically enough} is that Royal Icing is a Royal pain! I have such a love hate relationship with it! This is the icing I use to decorate event cookies.There is no real measurement{just an approx} all depends on if the stars and moon align with Saturn... to not get into trouble fast. I have had plenty f ruin cookies and I wouldn't say my first attempt was a total wash out. But I being my worst critic I was not liking the final product that took two day to complete.So to the trash you go all of you! So It was back to square one...the oven! I have two days till these are due and it just so happened that I had all day{well most} to redo them. With fear in my mind of another waste of resources and time I needed inspiration and a fool proof plan to getter done!
So I searched online for ideas then it came to mind... www.artgirlcookies.com
We sell her cookies @ Dean and Deluca. Though our style is way different and our cookies are way different I love her basic clean design with piping just on the cookie{no base coat which takes overnight to dry properly...never rush these things} So I did a imitation with a shabby twist and I like! I may not do designs like this all the time but on occasion sounds good to me! I hope they will like them and know that they will be very soft and yummy! Once they are bagged ribboned and labeled they will be ready for the shower!
