I was so eager to start using the ideas and techniques from the book that I dashed to get all what I needed, although I forgot the squeeze bottles, more pastry bags and extra nozzles.....which I can't find easily where I live. When I visited a friend the other day I remembered that I saw a pack of 4 sauce bottles in a shop, very cheap, not the perfect ones, but they would definitely help, so I got them. The pastry bags and extra nozzles had to stay in my "wish list" for now. Not to worry :o)
As I got a pack of greeting cards with photographs of lavender, I thought it would be nice to use the same colors for my cookies :
It was great to experiment with royal icing as I have never used it before. It can be tricky, I made some mistakes...that I ate afterwards :o)I feel that I learnt a lot today and believe me.... I can't wait to decorate more!.
I'll put these in a clear bag with a nice ribbon plus a thank you card (the lavender ones...of course) to a very sweet friend of mine, Jacqueline, who sent me by surprise 5 pots of food coloring paste with a note that said "Happy baking and marzipal modeling"....isn't she nice!?.

ReplyDeleteI'm getting a bit addicted to baking, specially cookies now that I've got such an inspiring book!. These lavender cookies look and taste fenomenal, you should really try them!, I'd love to send you a tin full of them but it's a loooong way to Japan!.
