Long Time, No See......

Long time....no see.....

I have a reason....don't throw the icing bags at me yet...

I have news.... no I'm not pregnant.....but I am going through a life transition.

I recently moved back to Texas.

That's right.....the prodigal child has returned home

(can I call myself a prodigal child??)

Yeeeeeeeeeeees!!

Took a job selling new home construction while hubs is home and going back to school.

It's busy times here.  I do have some cookies I made a while back that I haven't had time to post.  But I will eventually.  In the mean time I'll post a few things from days past...for the holidays.  And if I'm lucky, I'll get into the kitchen this Christmas and make something....Anything.  Sadly my husband does more baking than me....

Just wrong.

Tutorial: Icing Consistency 101 - The Basics

When it comes to decorating cookies (or anything) with Royal Icing, the most important thing is consistency.  If your consistency is off, your details wont come out like you want them.  If it's too stiff, it struggles to come out of the icing tip or wont lay down for a smooth flood.  If it's too thin, your perfectly piped details run into each other and your flood runs over your edges all too make one big runny mess.

So yes, consistency is key.
