A Very Special Baby Shower

Don't hav too much time to type unfortunately.  Have a child who woke up late for school and a baby that wants breakfast...kids and eating...weird huh?

Anyway, it's been the month of babies!!  My dear dear friend Callye at Sweet Sugar Belle and my friend Georganne at Lila Lola both had beautiful baby girls this month!  So I am participating with a number of other extremely talented cookie decorators to celebrate the birth of these new "Cookie Princesses".

It's a ROYAL BABY SHOWER!

Get it?

Ok.....

Tutorial: Making Royal Icing

It's hard to decorate a cookie without icing.  Some use butter cream, some use glaze...

I use ROYAL.  I like royal simply because it gives me the versatility and detail that I like.  I can make transfers, flowers, crisp clean lines, leaves...just about anything I like. 

 Royal Icing

5 TBSP Meringue Powder
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 c. water
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp additional flavoring (optional)
2lb confectioners sugar
1 TBSP to 1/4 c. Light corn syrup


Place meringue powder, cream of tartar, water and flavoring in the CLEAN bowl
