This is my favorite part of making cookies...decorating them!! Over the past years I have to admit I have made some beautiful cookies. The challenge is always finding an icing recipe that looks good but still tastes good. Royal Icing is always the "go to" and great for gingerbread houses, but not so great for actually eating the cookies. Buttercream tastes great but doesn't set spread evenly or give a nice sheen and smoothness.
Last year I used a delicious cookie glaze made with powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and corn syrup. It sets up great, spreads well and best of all, it tastes really good. Unfortunately, you can't get a lot of detail with it and it's not great when you want multiple colors on one cookie. Tonight was my first time using
Color Flow. Easy to make, easy to use. We'll have to just wait to see how it tastes.
