30th Birthday Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing Glaze

Yep. Manly cookies.  I'm drawn to cutesy or girly.  These seem so boring, but I guess it appeals to dudes.

The numbers were RIG transfers.

Circles.  The bane of my cookie existence.  How can such a simple shape be so complicated?

This whole set was more difficult than I had anticipated.  Minis with "30" on them.  Easy, right?  Not so much, at least for me.  Getting the circles to look circular, getting the numbers all the same.  In the end, I think they came out well.

I sure do love that banner cutter!  From now on though, I think it should only be used for shorter messages.  The text is pretty small here.

  1. Dotty, the banner is fine and the only way the zeros could look better is if they were machine made. It's a beautifully prepared tray of cookies. By the way the engagement photos were great. A lot of love went into that party.

  3. I can't draw my circles that neat with a pencil, much less a piping bag! I'm glad I got to see cookies with your RIG! I've been scouring the internet looking for an alternative to Royal Icing because it's so hard and crunchy, but I still want to decorate and create beautiful cookies and glaze just doesn't do it for me. I'll have to give it a try! Thanks so much for doing all the experimenting for us! ;)
