| Skeleton Cookies |
Hi, I have to tell you I'm not good at drawing and I don't have the time to learn, and practice on how to draw. I'm good at piping straight lines, dots, and make cross stitch cookies...but drawing is not my forte.
For this set of cookies, I used my Pico projector. I totally love this little thing. It works amazing and makes my life easier. (Sometimes, I still wish I was able to draw and pipe without a guide). Using the Pico, I traced the image
to the cookie using a scribe tool. I've learned that I had to make sure the Royal icing is fully
set, otherwise the scratch mark from the scribe tool won't be visible.
I used close to flood consistency Royal Icing and a very small hole in
my piping bag. It's important to pipe the areas that do not connect
together first, and then skip every other area to make sure the icing
does not run together for example: in the carpal area (wrist bones). In
this case, also make sure you let the icing dry or crust over a few
minutes before you pipe the next area.
It is easy to make, but it takes some patience. If you don't have a projector, you can always trace the pattern form a tissue paper.
So what do you need for these cookies? Well, if you are artistic and can draw free hand, forget about the projector and stencils.
Here is what I used:
- Pico Projector (you can use other brand that you have),
- Basic Sugar Cookie
- Black icing for the base cookie,
- White royal icing for the skeleton hand
- Scribe tool (tooth pick does not work well in this case and the area of
- the icing is too small),
- Piping bag,
- Scissors - to cut the off your piping bag,
- Water in a cup to clean your scribe tool.
Have fun decorating you cookies.
