Yoda Star Wars Cookies

Instead of using royal icing transfers to make these Yoda Star Wars cookies, I traced the outline of the characters onto the first layer of royal icing once it dried. I printed out templates from clip art that I found online, cut out the templates, and then used a toothpick to gently scratch the outlines onto the dried icing. Then, I just filled in each section of icing one at a time, waiting for the icing to dry in between sections. Yoda's facial features are drawn on with a black food coloring marker.     read more

How To Make Royal Icing (that won't dry rock hard)

There is a not-so-secret ingredient that allows the icing to harden enough for stacking and shipping while remaining soft on the inside. No more biting into a beautifully decorated cookie and cringing because the icing is rock hard!   Begin by using a whisk to mix 5 tablespoons of meringue powder and 3/4 teaspoon of cream of... read more
