cookie heaven…
ОглавлениеCookies – serve them with coffee, hang them from your Christmas tree or place them in clear cookie bags or decorative boxes and give to your friends and family. There are always plenty of reasons for you to have fun creating your own little works of art.
Cookies are delicious in their own right, of course, but adding decoration makes them that extra bit special. Many of the cookies included in this book can be decorated in a couple of minutes, but by spending a little more time you can create cookies that are truly magical and almost too good to eat.
Fundamentally a designer at heart, I have thoroughly enjoyed putting this little book of cookies together. With a background in sugarcraft, I have found that cookies, like cakes, make an excellent canvas on which to create designs that are both appealing and stylish.
I have included as many techniques and types of icing as possible, although I must admit to favouring decorating cookies using sugarpaste. With sugarpaste you can not only easily introduce colour but also add texture and three-dimensional elements to create cookies that will wow all those who see them.
As you probably appreciate, decorating cookies is child’s play; cookies are all about having fun in your kitchen and creating gorgeous, tasty treats that everyone will love. I have included a range of ideas in this book to tempt you, from high fashion to seasonal delights, weddings to designer style, so that whatever the occasion, you’ll be able to treat your friends, lighten up your work colleague’s day or spoil your family.
When it comes to decorating cookies, the possibilities really are endless so I hope that you will be inspired not only to create cookies from this book but also to invent designs of your own. If you can’t find a cutter for the type of cookie you would like to make, then do not despair – simply make your own templates, as described on page 11.
Be inspired, be creative and most of all, have fun.
