My girlfriend Joelle's son celebrated his first birthday last week! I was very excited when she ordered cookies to serve at his birthday party, and others to include as part of the loot bags for the kids.
I bought two Wilton decorating squeeze bottles that I used to flood each cookie. Then I used a toothpick to fill in all of the points of the stars.
Mmm..don't you just want to take a bite?!
I personalized the cookies free hand using a Ziploc bag without a tip. I seem to have more control that way.
All packed up and ready to be delivered!
Happy 1st Birthday Rowan!
What recipe did you use for the cookies? I tried making some sugar cookies but they didn't come out so thick or soft looking (mostly crunchy). Great job though!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay. You pretty much have me convinced that the reason for my royal icing woes is that I don't have the squeeze bottles. I WILL be ordering those soon!
ReplyDeletewow these are your best looking cookies yet! the letter writing is impressive!

ReplyDeletegorgeous! :)
They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWould love for you to share your cookie recipe? Mine never look like yours and by the time the icing sets the cookies are hard/crunchy...not tasty! Great job on the cookies too!
ReplyDeletewow! I'm jealous of your decorating skills- they came out great :)

Beautiful cookies! I like the idea of using the squeeze jar for flooding, i'm going to try that next time!
ReplyDeletewow you have perfect icing writting and a steady hand!!!
ReplyDeleteIs there anyway I can get your recipe for sugar cookies and the icing you used. I don't have a good recipe for sugar cookies. Thanks.
