Royal Icing Flowers

I made these to warm up for cake class the other day. The Trumpet on the Daffodil is a bit large, but I think it's cool like that.


Interested in learning how to make these flowers? Come take a course at the Cookhouse, or if you want someone to make you something pretty and delicious give me a shout!

Chocolate Cactus Cookies with Lime Icing

Step 1: outline with a thick line of royal icing (I recommend tip #3).







step 2: thin your royal icing to a good consistency. Drop a spoonful back into the thinned icing, if it dissapears back into itself in about ten seconds it's good. Pipe or spread onto the cookies being careful not to smuck the outline. Let set to the touch, about 40 minutes or so.

Step 3 : pipe on any surface decoration in medium consistency icing.

Spring!
