SEPTEMBER 2010 DARING BAKER CHALLENGE: Get Creative! The Daring Kitchen: "The September 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Mandy of “What the Fruitcake?!” Mandy challenged everyone to make Decorated Sugar Cookies based on recipes from Peggy Porschen and The Joy of Baking."
I loved how these sugar cookies came out and I will use this recipe from now on. I loved the parchment trick. Wow! What a time saver. This is the first time I used royal icing and it was fun. There was a definite learning curve. Thanks to the discussion board I will try out the suggestion of tinting the chocolate royal icing black for my Halloween cookies. I tinted the white icing black and it was so bitter and gave you a lovely smile. There was no sneaking these cookies, the evidence was on your lips if you did. I picked butterflies because this is the last month to see them, soon it will be cold and snowy. I had fun trying out the marbling technique. This was a super fun challenge!!!
