Flowers
After making snowflakes and hearts successfully, I decided to progress to flowers. Not easy. Making the petals are the hardest. I made the cookie with chocolate sugar cookie dough and royal icing.
Strangely, not many people seem to be able to appreciate how hard it is to make cookies like these. A friend actually had the audacity to comment that they looked 'cheap'. I'd like to point out that:
1. Cutting cookies is a big hassle
2. Flooding the background with royal icing is time consuming
3. Coloring the icing in different colors is hard work
4. Piping lines is not a walk in the park.
That said, the ingredients used are cheap I suppose *grudgingly*. However, I maintain that they do not look cheap, but rather, cute. Or whimsical.
Just bought a Linzer Cookie cutter. Can't wait to use it.

they don't look cheap, they look handmade and almost boutique-ish i think.

I agree with mon... They look very very very cute in deed... They would look wonderfull in any girl's birthday party cake. Keep doing your good work. There are many people jealous of what "only" we can make... do not give up!

They look dainty and the colour is so sweet. I think it is very difficult to get that shade. Continue doing a good job even though you may be too busy.
