HAPPY.belated.VALENTINE'S DAY!

I .L.O.V.E. cookies.  Like LOOOOVE cookies!  I just don't always bake them.  But I love the idea of the basic sugar cookie covered with candy melts instead of that nasty royal icing.  Of course royal icing you can make it thin enough to flood a cookie or thick enough to add details. You can't really do a lot with the candy melts but it sure does taste a lot better!  

So for Valentine's Day, I wanted to make some cookies.  Mainly just to practice with baking and decorating the cookies.  Below are the ones that came out. 




Something else I wanted to try was the brush embroidery technique.  Again something that's so much easier with royal icing than candy melts.  My first attempt was the cookie below on the right side.  It was oooookay but not good.

 This one, I thought, came out pretty good.  I still need to practice it but I really like how it came out...especially when you look at it from far away lol
