Biscuit decorating with friends
A few weeks ago, just before Halloween, I was invited to a craft evening with the theme of biscuit decorating. My lovely friend Kirsten had previously read my post about Princess Biscuits (see here) and, being a maker of fantastic cookies herself, suggested I have a look at the blog of the amazing Sugarbelle . It was from this blog that our craft evening was inspired. With some ghost shaped and circular biscuits fresh from the oven, I popped over to Kirsten's ready for a night of outlining, flooding and, of course, biscuit sampling. Using Sugarbelle's recipe, Kirsten had made up some icing - in a huge quantity! - ready for us to water down a little into the consistency desired. This is where I picked up my first tip of the evening which was to use a water spray bottle for adding water. This allows a bit more control and you are less likely to add too much. I, of course, did add too much, so ended up with flood icing when I'd wanted icing for outlining but nevermind
