These reindeer cookies were made using the Long Fancy Plaque cutter from Ann Clark Cookie Cutters. It's one of my favorite shapes!

Love your work and have been watching for a long time 🙂 Would you happen to know how many drops of each color were used to create the colors you got? Thank you!
Is there a way of making paint (I am referring to the gold n silver paint that you make from gold n silver dust) without using alcohol?
you can always use clear imitation vanilla extract
I love your job, so beautiful
Where can I get this frosting to make my cookies
I use Wilton meringue powder to make my royal icing, which is available at most craft stores, or online at Wilton.com and Amazon. You can read more about royal icing here: https://www.sweetambs.com/tutorial/royal-icing-consistencies/
Stunning. I'm always amazed at how perfect your work is. Maybe I'll give the tissue paper method a try.
Thanks, Shanna! Let me know how you like it if you try this method.
Oh, they are so beautiful! I would never have thought to use turquoise for X-Mas, but it works perfectly fine ?
And thanks again for your explanation about the amount of meringue powder you use for ucing back in the Cookie Connection chat - it was really helpful!
Thank you so much! I'm glad the chat was helpful 🙂
