Cookie Canvas
About This Book
Edible art can be as impressive as any painting, and this guide shows how to turn plain cookies into decorated pieces that look good enough to display. Using only a few ingredients and the right tools, readers can make festive cookies for birthdays, holidays, weddings, graduations, and other gatherings.
Amber Spiegel, who runs the baking business SweetAmbs, has spent more than ten years decorating cookies and teaching her methods to others. She walks readers through the fundamentals: getting royal icing to the correct consistency, flooding the surface of a cookie, and recognizing and correcting the problems that often come up along the way.
The book includes a range of cookie designs and the recipes behind them. The icings and fillings are vanilla royal icing, coffee royal icing, chocolate buttercream, and white chocolate ganache. The cookie bases are orange and cardamom, pumpkin spice, lemon and almond, gingerbread, maple, and meringue. The decorating designs cover weddings, baby showers, birthdays, lanterns and stars, barbecues, pumpkins and mums, plaid evergreen trees, pizza, bacon and eggs, and rainbow T-shirts.
Spiegel also explains which supplies and tools to gather, how to use food coloring and edible ink markers, and provides templates for every featured design. The instructions are meant for decorators of any experience level who want to start making cookies for their celebrations.
