"Spider Web Cookies"

Next, are the artistic Spider Web cookies. Starting off with a simple chocolate shortbread cookie, these desserts have a very strong cocoa flavour, and have somewhat of a bitter aftertaste. However, once the icing is added, the cookies become much sweeter and more desireable. To ice these cookies, we used white and black royal icing. We started by creating a border around the edge of the cookies in white, and then flooded the cookies with more white icing. Then, we took our black icing and drew circles (starting smaller on the inside and getting bigger as you go towards the edge.) To create the look of a spider web, we used a toothpick to draw the icing out to the edges of the cookie and it was as simple as that.

Tip: Make sure your cookie has cooled completely before icing or else the warmth from the cookie will cause the icing to melt and you will be left with a mess

  

"Yellow Cupcakes with Buttercream Icing"

 

This next creation is a simple yellow cupcake with a delicious buttercream icing. The actual cake was light, fluffy and moist, and the icing was rich and creamy. Having been the first time I have ever decorated a cupcake using an icing bag to pipe, I would say that my designs turned out fairly well. I would recommend practicing on some parchment paper first, and then moving on to decorating your cupcake. It is much harder than it looks and it takes patience. The finished product is pictured below.

"Rainbow Cookies"

These cookies get their name from their shape and colours as you can see in these two pictures. Don't be fooled by what they look like! Even though they may look artificial I can assure you that they are still magically delicious! They are perfectly bite-sized and sweet enough to satisfy your cravings.

Making these for the first time was very difficult because getting each layer even and perfect is almost impossible. But as long as it still somewhat resembles a rainbow, people will understand your intentions. They are worth trying once, even if just to taste.
