Beautiful cookies. How did you get your brown to be that perfect. Mine turned out more like a mud brown.

So pretty. I haven’t ventured into royal icing yet, but I just bought some meringue powder to give it a try. I love yours!

Oh yes..your information is extremely helpful and I will checkout that bake at 350 site tonight! I agree with another poster that you should definitely start your own business! What a talent. I hope the last of your pregnancy goes smoothly and that you deliver a happy, healthy, baby! Thanks for everything!

Thanks Michelle! Yes, it’s thinned icing on the cookie. Basically, you use the thicker icing to pipe a “dam” around the edge of the cookie, and then you flood it with the thinned icing. There are a bunch of helpful hints on the pages from Bake at 350 that I linked to, so that can help you get started. I seriously spent over an hour just browsing through that site before I started on these cookies!

For the design on the leaves, I flooded the cookies with random squirts of fall colors, and then I took a toothpick and swirled the colors together a few times. Does that make any sense? Maybe not. If you’re still confused, I can email you a picture of what it looked like before I swirled the colors together. Good luck!

Those Fall Leave cookies are equisite! I am going to attempt to recreate them in my kitchen…I am an extreme novice in baking. Please share with me how you applied the yellows, orange and reds..Is it thinned frosting? Did you paint it on? Ohhh I can’t wait!!!!! I can taste them already! Thanks!

i’d lend you my straightjacket, but i’m currently using it.
seriously though, these cookies are absolutely beautiful, and i’m sure they’re tasty too. after all, they’re cookies. as someone who’s pretty inept at decorating, you have my complete respect!
