  • Wow, I'm really impressed by everyone's efforts... and more than slightly envious!

    soblivion, how did you manage to ice those cookies so beautifully and precisely? I'd have made a right pigs ear of those.

    Thanks LouBlue, Oh I don't think I'll show you up, me icing's not flat, my red colouring just turned out pink no matter how much I put in and my choc picks - well you see for yourself the result of that:rotfl:

    Spudnik, thank you, I really don't find it easy and I shake a lot when I do it.

    Please post pics tomorrow all I'm desperate to see what everyone created.
  • Woow! Well done Soblivion, everything looks fantastic :)
    You make me wish I'd attempted cookies now!
    I will post pics up tomorrow, still have to make a few choccies!

    I did buy some icing tubes from Sainsburys today, they have nozzles and everything! :confused::rotfl: One in red and one in white, I am about as creative as a brick so should provide a giggle or three! :D
