Ok, so tomorrow I am going to try to make a cookie bouquet and wanted to see if any of you had words of wisdom concerning making the cookies and icing and/or making the bouquet. I may be biting off more than I can chew here but I want to give it a go. I have decided to use the NFSC recipe for my cookies (it seems like many of you have had good luck with it and I hear it is pretty yummy too!). I am undecided on the icing. Although I would like to try it sometime soon, I don't have the time needed for Antonia's icing to dry. So I am debating between MMF, rolled buttercream, or the hybrid recipe of the two that is on this site. Suggestions? What tastes best? What looks best? Also, what oven temp have y'all found works best and how long should the cookies cook?
As far as the bouquet, I was wondering how to do the skewer part. First, do I put it in before baking or right after they come out of the oven? Also, do I stick the skewer in from the base of the cookie upwards or do I push it in the back of the cookie?
I apologize for all my questions. Again,I am completely inexperienced in this area! And although practice makes perfect and part of learning is from your mistakes, perhaps getting some tips and tricks from all you experts out there could make my first time somewhat successful!
Thanks so much in advance! I really appreciate any guidance you can offer!
