Cookie Craft Elaborately decorated cookies fill the shelves of high-end bakery cases, tempting shoppers with bright colours & whimsical shapes. The cookies are beautiful, but buying them in a bakery can be shockingly expensive, & their flavour often doesnt live up to their appearance. Now home bakers can have their pretty cookies & enjoy eating them too! Thanks to the clear instructions & practical methods developed by authors Valerie Peterson & Janice Fryer, amateur cookie crafters can achieve bakery-quality design & homemade fresh taste. Cookie Craft gives readers access to the entire world of decorated cookies, beginning with an inspirational gallery of 150 colourful cookies guaranteed to start those creative juices flowing. The authors go on to discuss ingredients, supplies, equipment & technique. They include four delicious recipes for rolled cookie doughs (Traditional Sugar, Chocolate, Nutty, & Gingerbread) that provide perfect blank canvases for decorating, &, of course, their recipe for versatile Royal Icing. In the most important section, they share the design techniques accumulated & perfected during hundreds of afternoons spent crafting thousands of cookies. Cookie crafters will learn how to pipe, flood, & sugar their cookies, how to design colour palettes that work with every sea- son, how to make cookies stand up in fun 3-D structures, & much more!
