I am trying to make cookies for my SIL baby shower on Sunday. I made some before but the icing wasn't thin enough, I ended up using a spatula to try to smooth it : didn't come out great ! So I used the Wilton pastel colors and it was great. I was able to decorate, since it was thick, it wasn't runny at all. I used Antonia's icing, I should have read the directions first... I am also afraid that the color won't be great. The ones I did, by the next day, the blue was horrible. Anyway, I didn't try the fondant and I just read that it doesn't taste good : what should I do ? I am in the pressure right now and also, when should I start making them for Sunday ? Is Thursday too early ?
Please let me know what is easier : making my own fondant or decorate with icing ?
Thanks

Sorry, I haven't tried fondant yet, but I can give you a bump.

I guess it depends on what type of design you are doing on the cookies.... also what you are more comfortable with if you are pressed for time and can't practice right now. I have used MMF on cupcakes then embellished with icing-just use a cutter or drinking glass to cut out the circles...
