Here are the cookies I made for Valentines day. I tried to improve the designs from last year. I have taken elements from cookies I have seen and liked. Valentines is one of my favorite cookie making holidays. In an email conversation with someone who is my cookie "mentor" I said "I found my bliss, who knew it would take the form of pink royal icing".

| The variety of cookies I made for Valentines this year. |
 |
| I like these little rosebuds. I have seen them on other cookies and cakes and wanted to learn how to make them. |
 |
| The stems still need some work, I was having icing issues. :-) |
 |
| I saw someone else use black on their cookies I think it really pops. |
 |
| A couple of the dots got smashed, picked up too early. |
 |
| Simple design, but I kind of like it. |
 |
| I need to come up with something to do at the base for the stems. |
Stunning, John! What a beautiful & creative collection! I can tell you had fun making these! Look at all the techniques you used; lines, dots, raised roses and leaves, marbling... LOVE!

DeleteWow, such great cookies! So lovely :) I like all of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great compliment. I am new to this cookie decorating, I enjoy doing it very much. These pictures are a trial run it usually takes me a few batches to refine the designs. I am glad I have three sons that are happy to eat the test cookies. :-)
