Frosting: Art of Cookie Decorating!

Ladies and gentlemen, I think I have found a new hobby!  Last night was my very first time decorating and frosting sugar cookies and guess what?  IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!  It takes up a lot of time and effort but the process of mixing ingredients, cutting the cookies individually from a template, making the frosting, and decorating is rewarding after seeing it all come together!  Only disappointment is how disgusting the frosting tastes.  Might need to work on that a bit...

Honestly, I think things are much more fun when they are spontaneous and unplanned.  Cookie decorating didn't come across our minds until about 8 or 9 in the evening.  Although it was fairly late, we decided to try a new chicken recipe AND bake/decorate sugar cookies.  I suggested postponing it since it was too late, but I'm happier that we didn't.  Being able to make memories is important to me and this is something that I will never ever forget.  Thanks Lisa!

And the results are in!





What do you think?  Cute right?

    Love the ice cream design for the cookies! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the cookie cutters from?

    Just so you don't think I'm a creeper, I came across your blog from Yelp by the way, since we're friends on Yelp hahaha :3 I just wanted to leave a comment for a fellow food lover/blogger :D

      Hi Tiffany!

      No, I don't think you are a creeper at all! If anything, I've gained a friend :) My friend and I actually used this image (http://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/5444296/il_fullxfull.171330909.jpg) and traced it onto a piece of paper and then placed that paper on paper that was stiffer so that it wasn't too flimsy.

      Then with a knife without jagged edges, we traced it along the flat surface of the dough. :) Hope that helped! Let me know if you have any other questions!
