Bride & Groom Cookies

Image
One of my beautiful friends was getting married and I decided to surprise her with these cute cookies. This is the second time I've decorated cookies using royal icing.  There is still lots I need to learn about cookie decorating.  I had so much fun making and decorating these cookies.  I definitely have a new appreciation for cookie decorators.  These cookies were fun to decorate but quite time consuming. I've learnt quite a bit about the different icing consistencies and still need to work on my piping skills.  I look forward to decorating more cookies in the future. These cute Bride and Groom Cookies are made with a sugar cookie which is not too sweet and perfect for decorating on.  They are so fun to make and you can let your imagination guide you with the design of the bride and groom outfits.  Adding sprinkles makes the bride outfit prettier.

Christmas Wreath Cookies

Christmas is so much prettier with a touch of Tiffany Blue.  I wanted to make Christmas wreath cookies this year and so I couldn't help myself but add a touch of blue to it. These cookies are so fun to make and decorate.  You can make the wreath in any colour you like and add different coloured sprinkles.  I piped a simple bow at the top but you could make a fondant bow or even a star to add to the wreath. I piped small rosettes around the cookie to create the wreath but you could pipe small stars instead.  Another fun idea would be to could cut out the centre of the cookies before baking them to make them look like proper wreath.  I added shredded coconut to the centre of these cookies instead of cutting the centre out.

Kids and grown ups will all love this recipe.  Hope you bake them soon.
