What Frosting Would You Use To Make A "boobie" Coo
Baking By Americanhen Updated 17 Mar 2007 , 2:15am by cambo
My friend survived breast cancer, her year mark is this next week and she was saying she wished she could have a boob cake to celebrate! Well, I don't live close enough to ship a cake well, but I figured I could do my hand at the cookies! LOL
So which frosting would work the best, I noticed a lot of talk about Antonia47 and Tobas Glace.....any opionions??
Thanks!

Welcome to CC and how wonderful and joyous that year mark is!
I have only used antonia's but I love it. I do add vanilla flavoring. But if you add an extract you need to subtract that amount of water in the recipe. But it holds up well, I have shipped cookies with this icing and they made it in perfect condition!
I was going to suggest using MMF, that way you could mold the nipple. Congrats on her year mark!
Okay, so if the MMF is like fondant, do I just drape the cookie in it like I would cake? I have never made MMF before, but I have been looking at the different recipes! Could I do the royal icing as the main breast and the mmf as the nipple? would they stay together?? How about shipping? I am in CA and I need to ship it to Portland, OR.

You wouldn't "drape" the MMF... You roll the MMF out and cut it with the same cutter that you used for the cookie...you put it on the cookie right after it comes out of the oven, and the heat bonds it to the cookie. Then, you could just mold some nipples and attach them with a little water. Once dry, they'll be fine to ship...just give them a good wrap and pack.
Make sure you have the MMF cut and ready to go while the cookies are in the oven.
RI works fine for what you want too, but on the boob cookies I made, the MMF looked a little more realistic.
