Experiments with butter cream...Part 3. Different textures.


 I was going to make cookies for my friends from the small Bible group 
and it was another chance to test the taste of the butter cream 
and play with the design. 
I really love to work with this icing! 


It is like decorating a cake, but in a reduced form.
I tried to use few tips, that usually are used for cake decorating 
- #101, #47, #21, #106, #352, #1, #59... 
The cookies came out with a different texture.



Some of my FB friends said, that it looks like the yarn's texture. 
I like that comparison!

  3. Thank you Nadia - I have had that recipe on my to try folder on pinterest for some time now. I wonder if it goes rancid or if it would melt in the heat (i'm in phoenix, az) - shortening goes bad quickly here.

  6. Thank you for sharing the decorating tips you used. My favorite is the daisy like flower where you squiggled the petals with what I assume was the #1 tip. It's amazing that you can see things like that.

    I have finally given in and started using hi-ratio shortening for my buttercream. It really is worth the extra cost. It has no taste and you do not have a greasy feeling in your mouth after eating buttercream made with it.

  8. Nadia,
    As always, I love your icing skills! Also, your cookies come out of the oven with the most beautiful shapes! Mine always lose a little of their shape while baking. What is your secret for baking such awesome cookies? And how thick do you roll them out?

    1. The dough keeps shape or not it depends what the recipe. Typically, the thickness of my cookies 1/4'. I'm using this rolling pin http://www.karenscookies.net/Adjustable-Rolling-Pin_p_693.html

  10. Ты меня потеряла, да? Надюш, а я была уверена, что оставляла коммент к этому посту!!!
    Мне печенюшка с двуми цветами больше всех понравилась и знаешь чем? Она мне напомнила королевский штандарт, ну допустим с лилиями)))
    Хотя я до этого не видела королевских штандартов, но вот откуда-то именно эта ассоциация)))
    П.С. погуглила картинки КШ - хм..... таких нет)))
    Ну и лан, зато теперь будут! Даешь съедобные знамена!!! (не только на 4 июля)

  11. Потеряла? Ничего себе! Извини, дорогая, я не видела... А ассоциация у тебя как всегда - в точку! Теперь и мне кажется, что я где-то видела похожее...:)
