New hobby

So it’s 920pm, and Peyton’s been sleeping since the last post.  She is much better without Dave around!  Anyways, I was reading up on pinterest, which is a total time suck, and even more so, as I had the kakamani (sp?) idea to try one of the posts I’d found.  I need another hobby like I need another kid.  And since the latter is not happening, what the heck.  So, I set out to try my hand at cookie decorating.  I’ve tried in the past, but it’s always been in the context of a “right now” project, not clearly thought out, and definitely not taking the time to pore over youtube and pinterest posts.  I also have to get past the conservation of powdered sugar.  I’m using it liberally now.

So, with all this time I had with one sleeping child, and my inability to go anywhere, I decided to give it a go.  I ordered a Hello Kitty cookie cutter earlier this evening (what I won’t do for my daughter, who is TOTALLY bringing out my inner girl), and I wanted to started practicing.  So, luckily, I had a half box of powdered sugar remaining in the cabinet from my last failed attempt at frosting.  I made up some royal icing, and got out my piping tools (yes, well equipped, but never followed through on the hobby).  I didn’t want to take the time to MAKE cookies (I haven’t completely lost my mind), so I had to find a suitable replacement.  Oil and frosting do not mix, so I didn’t want to use my silpats.  I had some crackers, but they are a bit small, and wouldn’t let me practice like a real cookie.  Finally, I found some graham crackers I’d used last time I made the s’more dessert.  A full, unopened package!  So, I reviewed the videos and got my mixer going.  I almost forgot to take some photos along the way, but fortunately, I did get some.  Here’s what I did in the last 1.5 hours, first outlining, then playing around with the writing, and finally flooding the area:

I will not be eating these creations; there is 1/2 a pound of sugar in there somehow.  Again, just for practice.  I have to let the flooded part dry fully, then in theory, I’m to decorate on top of that.  That requires more supplies, like dye, which I didn’t want to “waste” at this point.  I’m happy with the work so far, but I’ll have to be daring enough to try colors, and patterns.  Luckily, HK doesn’t require too much color and is mostly white.
