Here Comes The Bride Cookies

Royal Icing is great to use when decorating cookies. Getting the right consistency for decorating is usually a personal preference, and takes some practice to perfect. If you're trying to find a perfect consistency, you may want to check out this article and video by Sweetopia. This could be a game changer in the way you decorate cookies since it definitely was for us

When piping an accent on a cookie (like our bottom ruffle on the dress) you want to make sure that your royal icing has a stiffer consistency so the shape takes form. When adding accents, get a little crazy and add a special touch of your own. You can even add fondant accents if that's what you prefer, just add a dab of your royal icing to the fondant (as glue) and place it on your cookie

There are many royal icing recipes out there. Some use fresh egg whites, others pasteurized egg whites, but we like to use recipes that utilize meringue powder as the main ingredient. Meringue powder is a dried egg white powder that we use in place of fresh eggs, mainly because it's easy, tastes great, and we know is bacteria free

We presented our Here Comes The Bride Cookies on a 10-inch white square plate from Crate & Barrel

A simple printable dessert label can go a long way to completing the presentation. We offer free printable dessert labels, along with the rest of the Hearts Experience Printables, that you can download here. We recommend using cover weight paper which you can find at Paper-Source. We usually use pure white, but feel free to choose a color that works for you
