PHOTO COOKIES

I don’t like icing, most probably because I cannot manage it as perfectly as fondant. However, see above, it is true that writings with icing look more shiny and more 3-D…so I love the look.

Sometimes my customers ask me how I make these photo cookies. So here is the trick. You need to buy a brand new computer together with special edible ink cartridges. The paper is Lucks edible rice paper in size A4. It is as simple as getting a print out, but slightly more difficult to work with as the paper is pretty thin and can melt in hot environment or with wet fingers etc.

PHOTO COOKIES FOR ZEYNEP

I just learned that noone except the mother of Zeynep was able to eat the cookies after her birthday party. Everyone was keeping in the deep freezer. I asked them why they kept it, as they could simply keep a photograph. One replied to me saying, she wanted to show it to Zeynep when she grew older; it is nothing you could show on a photograph as she stated.
And to make me feel proud, the baby’s mother told they were most delicious cookies she ever ate- such that she could not resist eating her baby’s piece. Happy birthday Zeynep, welcome to the family!

eat well forever, and stay healthy!!
