Many Crowns












Inspiration, at last! In response to recent post, The Whole World in Our Hands , I have made these with my own two little hands... not bad tasting either. House smells great; and we are ready should the queen pop by for tea! Thanks, ihs..

Beautiful! I am impressed! Just curious - what kind of icing did you use?

Janet said...

Now I know what really elicits responses from the readership. Not deep think-y pieces ruminating on existential questions nor artful renderings of the glory of creation. No, what really gets a response is f-o-o-d, specifically, cookies!


Thanks. I'm not satisfied with the cookie taste itself; I'll have to refine that. I used the recipe that came with the cookie cutter.

Frosting recipe is: From Ann Clark Vermont Cookie Cutters:


Instructions:Melt:
1 tablespoon butter

Add and beat until smooth:
3/4 cup confectioner's sugar (sifted)
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice

Add food coloring if desired. Yields 1/3 cup

It looks like you used royal icing…if so, I am SUPER impressed because a lot of people find royal icing a real challenge! Good for you!

Very impressive! Can you whip up 500 “Dracula” cookies by Friday???

Janet said...

I probably could; but it would cost a pretty penny! I would also have to find a bat cookie cutter....
Cheers!
