So beautiful and unique. I love all your cookies. 

Thanks a lot, Kristi, though for this one a lot of credit has to go to Amber Spiegel. She came up with this awesome lace design

True, but you piped it and created something new.

Love love love these. And when I turn 70 I want a necklace exactly like that. Love the colors and the design and the wording and the lace and and and ......

Thanks, Joanie!

Now, that would be a necklace *lol* it might weigh you down a little - it is appr. 4 inch in diameter

Leoni, these are just beautiful! (Of course I'm a bit partial to the aqua color. Lol) I love the geometric piping detail with the little butterflies . Gorgeous work as always!!

Thanks, Carol. The color was made with Wilton's Color Right. It doesn't look at all like it did on the chart, though. Probably because I used way less icing

I've experienced the same with the Wilton Color Right. I was very disappointed when trying to make a very specific color and then it was obvious that it didn't turn out to be the correct color because I used less icing. I decided that the amount of colors used with Wilton's system is a judgement call given the amount of icing needed. It worked perfectly one time (needed quite a bit of icing) and was way off the 2nd time  when I needed a small amount of icing for the color I was trying to achieve.  I've come to the conclusion that there will always be conversations about coloring icing and how to make RI (egg whites vs. meringue powder or pasteurized egg whites).

I experienced quite the same with Color Right - one time it is perfect, the next time totally different. I normally never need the amount of icing they give as one batch, guess this is part of the problem. Also the drops coming out vary in size, and the different colors have different consistencies. But still, I get nice results with it, just a bit unpredictable.

I really like it! It's a brilliant set! Love the colors and the tiny butterflies! Great job as usual, but this is outstanding. Brava!

Thanks! I also like the butterflies, and they were a special wish of the recipient. But I absolutely don't like punching them - they act like real butterflies and try to fly away
