Wow Christine!! I love the design and the beautiful monochromatic blue colors . Such a pretty cookie . Would love to see a tutorial of this technique some time (???). ❤️❤️

Thanks, Carol @Cookies Fantastique! I'm an epic failure when it comes to videos. So my daughter is helping me (read: doing all of the work). She filmed a short video of one of my "mistakes" being crushed , which should be up on IG soon. Sadly, the only thing that takes longer than piping my cookies is learning how to videotape them! But - baby steps - I am trying

WOW, WOW, WOW!!! So amazing! It's so funny that your answer to how you made it is: "I used really stiff icing"!!! 😄😄😄 Congratulations Christine. It's incredible!

Thank you @Heather Bruce Sosa! I speak the truth 😄😄😄

Well Christine... any word won’t be enough. 

I keep watching every picture and reading your comments! There is so much work behind this cookie... I can’ even imagine squizing the bag with two hands and keep the line so straight!

I ‘ve seen beautiful straight line projects inspired by your work recently (and so sadly no attribution or even just a reference) and even if they looked yours at a glance, then at a closer look they couldn’t be yours at all! Your perfect and straight lines have became your signature.

Thank you @Manu biscotti decorati for such a nice compliment. I think it's also a compliment when anyone tries to do what I do (and I still hope that one day I can teach what I do). It would be nice to be referenced, but my designs and the technique that I use (piping lines that cross over each other) are two separate things, and this is a technique that I do not own (I'm just the one who's associated with it). Most of the time people don't give credit for all of the techniques that they use, they usually (and hopefully) just give credit for the designs, in which case, I would like to be credited for an obvious copy.

That said, if I could be so well known that people will just look at someone else's work and say, "Oh, that's a Sweet Prodigy design" (just like SweetAmbs' filigree), then I will be happy. 

no way !!! what a great , beautifuly done art ! amazing!!!

How...... how?  You are amazing, Christine.

Christine @Bakerloo Station further to our FB conversation, you wanted to know how my strings don't sag. This cookie is a good example for me to explain. As mentioned, my icing has to be fairly stiff. For this cookie, the dark blue did not have to be as stiff because each line is supported by the lines below, which are very close together. As you go outward (colors get lighter) the lines become farther apart and the icing needs to be stiffer to hold its shape. At this point, when I pipe my lines, I'm essentially stretching them to be as taut as  possible. Once I got to the lightest line, my icing was so stiff I had to squeeze with two hands to get it out of the bag. And my icing kept breaking from trying to pull it so taut (I lost count of how many times I had to re-pipe a broken line). And, as you can see, the lines were just starting to sag at this point, which is why I ended it where I did. Fortunately, it worked out just right for this pattern! 

First, thank you for indulging my curiosity!  Second, now that I know how you do what you do, I am even more in awe!  You are a string work master.

WOW, Chistine, what you did is a miracle!!! Amazig piese of cookie, art and architectire! Respect!

Thanks Zara @carouselselsel! Will you give it a try? 

To be honest, my hands are itchy, this is so amazing, but I'm afraid I can't be that perfect. I'll practice with some cross-stitch cookies first.

I have lots of cookies that are not perfect...eventually I get it right. And then I post - having learned tremendously.
