I really don't enjoy black icing.
I just don't. So I try and use it as sparingly as humanly possible.
Well during my design session for this years Halloween cookies, I noticed quite a few designs that required black icing....and we're talking lots of black......
Me no likey that....
So here's what I did instead
Right so it's not exactly black but the general point is made. And the best part about it....you only have to mix one icing color. If that. It's just white. White icing on chocolate cookies.
Now I suppose I could have added more cocoa or a little bit of Americolor black to the dough to make it darker....yes, that would have been nice looking. But I didn't....because I didn't think of it till after I baked them. Crikey.
But still....for some fast and easy cookies...not too shabby. I used a little bit of Americolor black mixed with some water and painted on my remaining details. These were seriously fast...and fun too!! I even put a little sanding sugar on my ghost and moon.
I will be posting the last of my Halloween cookies tomorrow...on Halloween. Seems fitting.
Till tomorrow!!!
