Easter’s On Its Way…
Ever a
glutton for punishment, I headed back into the kitchen for some more baking
chicanery. I will not give up the ideal
of the perfectly iced sugar cookie. Each and
every time I have high hopes that this is the time that I
will end up with MSL photo worthy results.
And every time my hopes are dashed to the kitchen floor along with most
of the powdered sugar…
As I have said before, it is not the sugar cookie. It is the dad blern
icing. I have decided that royal icing
is a royal pain in my ass. I am sticking
with my wind-up buttercream icing. Sets up beautifully like royal icing and tastes much better. mr. V actually said these looked good when he got home. I’ll take it as his typical response
to my baking resembles a loud guffaw.
I
envisioned some beautiful pastels for these.
Of course my first bowl of tinted icing
closely resembled baby poo, again. You can see it in the back there. Not good.
I kept at it and I suppose this faded pink will do. I was going to try for a pale yellow but I
feared that it would only look like vomit.
So white and pale pink it is. And a few sprinkles for the Monster…
