Leprechaun Hats St.patrick's Day
I have a really cool customer who is Irish who gets an order of a few dozen cookies every year on St.Patrick's Day. We do a different shape each year. This year was Leprechaun hats. I cut them out by hand, really simple!
Beautiful. Love the display!
These are amazing. I can't believe how smooth you get your icing. I have been doing this for 10 years and I still can't get it to look that smooth
wonderful cookies!
Beautiful, as usual! :) The green is perfect, mine always comes out too minty.
Do you still do your icing the way that you explained it a few times previously......you mentioned that you DON'T outline any longer? What consistency is the icing? I would think it would run off the side of the cookies. Can you explain your method once more please? Your cookies' icing always looks so flawless and I think that is what we are all trying to achieve!
What I do is I thin my icing and iced it in ONE continuous outline/filling in movement, like colouring (the recipe and extra water is explained in the tutorial I posted on this site.) Instead of outlining and letting it dry then filling in....I simply outline and continue on filling in right away. Then shake the cookie to settle all the lines. The result is one smooth solid icing colour. It does NOT flow off the cookie and down the sides....unless you've thinned it too much.
Haha!! Thanks! I'm a cold-weather girl through and through! Couldn't imagine a winter without snowballs and tongues stuck to metal poles.
I read antonia74's tutorial about 3 times, like you Peeverly I've been doing this for along time, but i finally figured out what Antonia74 meant, and it works wonderful. Thanks antonia74 for the tutorial it has saved me much grief. It is so much simpler doing it your way, and actually alot faster too! Love you're website, love your cookies, wish I lived on the eastcoast, instead of the westcoast! Okay maybe not, i can take the rain but don't thnk I could handle the cold! LOL
They are very cute!
