NOT MY COOKIES....the image is from Sweet Sugar Belle...located on my sidebar...I love her site! :)
And just like that...I'm a cookie decorator! Well, not really...just one in my head.
I've been researching cookie decorating for a few months now ... I'm hooked.
Step 1 - Research: Find the best products and methods for optimum results.
Step 2 - Purchase just enough products to get started practicing.
Step 3 - Practice piping on plates or parchment paper, not cookies yet :)
Step 4 - Practice more...
Step 5 - And more...
Step 6 - And a little more...
Step 7 - Practice baking the perfect batch of sugar cookies.
Step 8 - Marry the two...and practice on a cookie :)
Step 9 - Love the finished product (will I ever get to that point?)
Step 10 - Learn to ship them to my family and friends! Yes, that's you!!!
6 years ago I was obsessed with learning to make amazing chocolate chip cookies...like the kind of cookies that my teenage children will brag about...now that I've mastered that (no humility...I'll admit it) I need another obsession.
Some may ask, Why not start practice on real cookies? Because we'd eat them! NO, not good for my Weight Watchers lifestyle...not to be confused with a DIET...my new lifestyle :) Also, the frosting is relatively cheap to make so practicing daily won't be costly.
I'm currently on step 2. lol. My cookie making investments will be small....until I decide whether or not I have a steady enough hand...I'm not exactly an artist...like my sweet husband...so this may be a total flop!
We'll see. Enjoy the journey!
I'll be blogging all about it! :)
