Challenge 9 – Piped Lettering.  I was terrified of this challenge.  My penmanship in any form is atrocious.  I have a Kopykake projector but have only used it once.  And that was many moons ago and not for lettering.  I truly had no idea how it was going to go.  I decided to go all in however and…I loved it!!! I used a 12”by6” cookie and tried eight different fonts, with the projector.  I’m incredibly shaky but I managed to get it done.  As stated, these are my key ingredients for a good year – in celebration of the Lunar New Year!  I can certainly see how piped lettering is a skill where practice can make perfect!

EXCELLENT job with the lettering! And I love that "cookies" are right up there with BIG concepts like "kindness", "wellness", "tolerance", etc.

Thank you Julia.  I really feel like I conquered a fear with this one.  Consistency really is key!!

Wow Lisa, that is such a great work !! ❤️ The letters are perfect and I love the many fonts. Really beautiful my friend!! @LisaF

Thank you so much Gabi.  I had a lot of fun with this!  ❤️😘

Your lettering looks great! What did you find to be the most challenging part? Did you find that the right icing consistency was made a difference?

I would say the hardest part was picking the font!  Finding fonts that were interesting but forgiving, if need be.  The icing consistency made all of the difference.  I think repeated practice would definitely make it possible to ditch the Kopykake.
