    You know, I really don't like royal icing cookies either, but those design are perfect! I'd have to eat one just for the 4th of july weekend ;)

    I don't know how you are able to get your kids to behave for 2 straight hours while making these. I'd have icing on the ceiling, kids in time out, and me on the couch with a glass of wine while the cookies sat half way finished on the counter.

    Thanks so much for the kind words :) Let me add by the way that these cookies are easy if you've worked with royal icing before. if not, then perhaps practice a bit before attempting these, and then give it a go. And Leslie, holidays inspire me :) XOXO

    We have a huge 4th of July BBQ and I'm totally making these cookies! Thank you! I do this same technique with nail polish and water on my nails! It's not so easy, haha. I'm hoping the frosted cookies will be easier to do. I'm also going to make this fun cake, if you haven't seen it yet, here is a link. the website has a lot of fun treats.

    I just stumbled onto your blog and should really go to sleep, but can't stop reading your older posts. They are inspiring! So inspiring that I am calculating if I have enough time to make these cookies for a picnic tomorrow. I also do not think your royal icing tutorial was too long. I really appreciated the details and helpful tips :) Thanks for the motivation!
