(Mine is 11, so that's how I'm choosing to remember it. When he's 30, I'll be waxing nostalgic about his teenage years.)
Here's what you need to make them:
- tiered cake cookies
- royal icing tinted with Americolor Gel Paste
food coloring in turquoise, egg yellow, super red and regal purple
- #3 plain tip
- #2 plain tip
- #16 star tip
- disposable icing bags fitted with couplers
- squeeze bottles
- toothpicks
Reserve some piping consistency icing in turquoise and red. Thin the remaining icings with water, a bit at a time, stirring with a rubber spatula until it is the consistency of thick syrup. Cover with a damp dishtowel and let sit several minutes.
Stir the icings gently to pop and air bubbles that have risen to the surface. Transfer thinned icing to squeeze bottles.
{This is what happens when you get distracted.}
Let dry for at least one hour.
Let dry overnight.

Such a cute idea! These are adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these colors, Bridget! Simply precious two-year old memories too! I had to say good-bye to my son this morning. He's heading back to Ft. Benning after his leave, (following his deployment to Afghanistan)... Honestly, I don't know where the two weeks went but I know I want them (and him) BACK! Any way, I appreciate the memories you recalled. I hope it carries me through to Thanksgiving (or Christmas, depending on how the Army feels!)
ReplyDeleteThese cookies are so cute! I love the icing colors you chose, as well as the piping detail from the star tip.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I've got to spend some more time on my "piping" consistency in order to do those star tip details so I can do something like this!
