Do you like my Christmas tree? I’m quite proud of it. The first five were pretty dodgy, but I got the hang of it after that. My problem was, I was trying to wing it. Just squirting on the icing and expecting it to look like I bought it from the bakery. Instead we had pools of green icing dripping off the sides of cookies - looking like Shrek just had a bogie explosion. When I finally figured out that I needed a thicker icing to draw an outline, and then a thinner one to ‘colour in’ it all came together.Almost too pretty to eat (but come on, it’s got Smarties on it, of course I’m going to eat it). We really had some fun making these. I handed the icing bag over to one of my friends and asked her to have a go at a bit of decorating. And you know what? she did it perfectly first time. Peh! I’m just not good at the artistic side of baking. Give me a cupcake to frost and I can just about get away with it. Anything else involving any level of artistic skill and I have to pretend that one of my kids did it, just to hide the embarrassment 🙂 So honestly, if I can make these Sugar Cookies with Easy Icing look ok, then I’m sure yours will be fab. In the meantime, my kids have finished school and started the countdown. Eight more sleeps to go!!!
