The September 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Mandy of “What the Fruitcake?!”
Mandy challenged everyone to make Decorated Sugar Cookies based on recipes from Peggy
Porschen and The Joy of Baking
I like cookies, I like making cookies, I enjoy decorated cookies, but I do not enjoy decorating the cookies! my icing technique can use a little work.
I have no patience for the decorating. My theme was a mixture of video games (mainly Super Mario) and fall. Fall is such a lovely time of year in Canada, depending on your location the landscape is painted in reds, warm browns, yellows. Sometimes even in the big city I swear I can smell wood burning. I keep expecting to see a swirl of smoke trailing through the skyline. It reminds me of pumpkins and crunchy leaves.
As we can see NO PATIENCE FOR DECORATING!! I tried and I failed, one of my Mario superstars kind of ended with a puddle of yellow icing.
The icing doesn't work if I can't get all the colours at once. THis is how I failed. I don't have enough space in my kitchen to fully be able to achieve a good decorating line. At least I tried! at least i tried.
I wish they turned out better :(
