Pink and Brown Cookies

Spillage

I used too much white icing as the base on this one. Once I started adding the stripes, the icing flooded over my border.

Salvaged...sort of

Once the icing set, I used a sharp knife to cut away the spilled icing. Then I piped dots around the edge to cover up the mess.

  1. You are amazing! I made Logan's birthday cake today and realized something: no one ever taught me how to work with frosting! I wish I could have had your help! (BTW...you have to have had that baby by now...send me an e-mail!)

  2. Thanks, Becky! I'm sure your cake turned out really cute. I love that daisy cake you made a while ago. I wish we lived closer so we could make treats together...like our red heart cookies. :o)
