My Creative Space - Learning to Ice Biscuits



My sister gave me this fabulous book for my birthday which I have been wanting. So Anya and I set about trying 'line icing' and 'flood icing' on Monday. It was quite easy for Anya to do the 'flooding' part which I will explain in another post.



The advantage is they look so much better than an ordinary biscuit but disadvantage that is a whole lot of sugar right there - hence we went easy on the decorations. I am looking forward to practising icing on my own too, with no little hands (sorry gorgeous girl). I'm joining in on my first MCS for 2011 - enjoy a myriad of projects over at Kirsty's.

    The biscuits look great, but I don't think I could attempt it myself - I think I would O.D. on the icing - the icing wouldn't even make it onto the cookies as it would go directly to my mouth!!!

    Oh that certainly does look nice and professional – just imagine what you can do when you have some time to yourself. I have a feeling A LOT of sugar is going to be consumed at your place while you hone your skills…

    That is SO pretty. But yeah - the sugar is a huge inconvenience! I don't tend to eat sugar, so I can only live vicariously through you!

    Know all about line icing and flooding . My darling son has been doing cake decorating classes and has been showing his mum a few tricks. I wonder why I still need to do the homework though i.e. cooking the required cake and making the buttercream icing for the lesson? Next week he will be making it :) Wouldn't mind one of your biscuits with a cuppa for afternoon tea.
