How pretty do these snowflake cookies look!

So I had eagerly set out to reproduce something similar - perfectly iced cookies - and had imagined them in little plastic bags complete with a beautiful ribbon. 

Armed with my fancy icing colour pastes, squeeze bottles and mixmaster, it wasn’t long before I realised that I had GROSSLY overestimated my cookie icing skills. How silly. All that intricate detail on the snowflakes? Yes it is harder to achieve than it looks.

It is ridiculously hard to get the icing flowing out of the bottle tip evenly, and even harder to make the surface all flat and perfect, much less then trying to draw fanciful curls and snowflake-like detail. Also I had intended for red but it turned out to be pink.. Anyway, my cookies look like this, amateur skills evident:

I decided to give them a break and decided that hey maybe I should trying making faces instead, after all it should be easier on a round cookie! Refer to Bakerella’s post - of course her faces look SO cute and adorable! 

Mine turned out like this..

After which I decided that it was time to give it a rest for the night. I will perfect them for Christmas! We’ll see how I go..
