I have been playing with the church cookie a bit more. I am trying to figure out how to get the names of the bride and groom on a banner hanging from the church. I tried just using edible ink markers ( like I did for the people) but it didn't look right. I think I will try royal icing transfers next. That is where you pipe the design onto a silicone mat, let it dry and then fasten it to the cookie with icing. They are delicate so you have to make a lot of them.
Today is Memorial Day and I am not sure if we are going to go to the parade or not. I would like to but I promised my daughter several days ago that I would take her to a McDonalds with a play place because she earned it on her potty chart. It might not seem like a big deal to go to McDonalds but for some reason she LOVES it and the nearest one is an hour away! Argh why do I use the word promise? She never forgets when I promise her something...
I was thinking back to last Memorial Day and I remembered that I had made all of these cookies to sell at an artisan fair in town. We ended up having a crazy rain/snow storm and the event was cancelled! It was very disappointing. Although I don't know what was worse, making all of those cookies for nothing, or snow the last week in May!
