| Icing colors ready to go. Love Fall! |
 |
| You'll see in the end I changed the face a little. Always feel free to change your mind, especially if you start thinking your turkey looks like he has a bloody nose. |
 |
| Tracing my sketch onto a transparency sheet |
 |
| Don't forget to do detail work while your icing is still wet. Sorry, about the red dye on my finger. |
 |
| Alternate feathers so they don't merge into one another |
 |
| Let Dry 24 hours. Really. You'll be sorry if you don't! |
 |
| CAREFULLY peel back the sheet from the icing |
 |
| Tada! |
 |
| Time to ice your cookie. Pipe your outline. |
 |
| Flood your cookie |
 |
| Totally gratuitous shot of the backside: look at all those trapped air bubbles! |
 |
| Gently place royal icing turkey onto cookie |
 |
| You can fine tune the placement but only just a little. Wiggle the cookie to set/smooth the icing |
 |
| Let these dry overnight |
 |
| Add beak, feet and gobbler (the floppy turkey neck thing) |
 |
| Smile and say "turkeeeeeeee" |
 |
| Boxed and ready |
 |
| Turkey Casualty The only turkey not to make it, he was accidentally smashed by my left elbow while trying to do too many things at the same time. |
These look great! I don't think I can ever do this, I don't think i have a steady hand. Sketching yes, execution no. And each one has to be perfect!
