I've learned a lot about myself since I started decorating cookies. For one thing , I am SUPER impatient. I mean...all this time , I just thought I was regular impatient. And then I met royal icing. And it told me all about it's "required dry time" and I was like , "I don't understand the words you are saying!" And royal icing was all , "DRY-ING TAH-IME." I just kind of stared at it and it just kind of stared at me. To be perfectly honest , it was an awkward way to begin a relationship. Then I bought my royal icing a dehydrator and never looked back.
Also...I'm a smidgeon obsessive-compulsive. Not in a good way where I clean everything up and keep it all neat and stacked and color-coded in alphabetical order. But I have a certain way of doing things that might possibly be magic. Or good luck. Or the opposite of badness and despair. So even though I have no way of proving this magic-ness , I simply cannot deviate from my system.
And that includes opening the powdered sugar bag right side up. I know it doesn't make an ounce of difference , but I physically cannot force myself to open the powdered sugar if it is upside down. And I have to clear the top edge so I don't get a cloud of white death upon piercing the bag with my scissors. Sometimes , I'm not paying attention and I spend 2 minutes tapping the powdered sugar bag on the counter and clearing what I *think* is the top edge of the bag only to realize it is the bottom of the bag. And instead of just opening it up anyway , I have to turn it over and start again. Seriously though , what kind of person would open a powdered sugar bag UPSIDE DOWN?! No kind of person I want to be friends with. That's for sure. Unless you're super nice. And then we can totally be friends. But not the kind of friends that make royal icing together , because seriously...I have issues.
Luckily , my issues do *not* include using cutters in ways that they were not intended. Like these CHAMPAGNE GLASSES cutter from Semi Sweet. They are absolutely perfect for back-to-school scissors cookies!!!
1. Pipe the top blade of the scissors with medium consistency gray icing and a #3 tip. Let it dry for 15 minutes , or until the icing surface is set.
2. Pipe the bottom blade of the scissors with the same icing. Use medium consistency pink icing and a #3 tip to pipe one handle and let everything dry again for 15 minutes.
3. Pipe the remaining handle with pink icing and pipe a dot for the thing that connects the two blades. Imma call it a "hinge pin" but you can call it whatever you want. Put a #1.5 tip on the gray icing and pipe detail lines on the two scissor blades.
