Marshmallow Mug

Today I find that my hand shakes and also I have no patience,I tried to make straight line maybe 30 times..clearly it is not my stong side!

Also that you have to press with same pressure becouse lines will have not same thickness!First I baked my half mug cookie on real mug,down side I just cuted ,Iced part of mug airbrushed.down side iced with stiff royal icing and used embossing folder to create texture on parchment paper and attached and enclose on the iced line and dryed in oven.After followed hard try of crochet technique,I also piped cotton as winter decor

I love seeing how people are combining both challenges into this one; your contouring looks great! I find it's easier to pipe lines on curved pieces if they are elevated off the work surface so my piping hand has clearance (doesn't hit or come close to the table) at the bottom of my "strokes"/lines. And, when there is a long distance to pipe, I sometimes mark the end point at the bottom (scratch with my trussing needle or put a tiny, tiny dot of icing there), so I can use it as a visual guide to keep the lines as vertical as possible all the way down. (My hand can get in the way of my line of sight as I pipe downward, which is why I do these two things.)

Many many thank's Julia @Julia M. Usher for great tips ❤️which of course didn't sneak in my head,and of course I didn't make right schedule for such a nice idea.I keep them definitely for next entry. Also I'm entirely disappointed about texture on royal icing down line of the mug,but sometimes things are not going as we wish.For sure i need to be more pattience and to be more pedant

It generally looks really good to me, though it seems like the icing might have been a touch too loose judging from some of the larger spots at intersection points. Alternatively, you might still have been pushing out icing when coming to stops, or pushing too much at the start of flow. In general, I ease off pressure a lot at such points to avoid icing accumulation. Though @Evelindecora will be the best to advise on icing consistency for her particular technique! Great overall job, so don't be too hard on yourself.

Love it! How gorgeous!!!

Dear @Petra Florean, I absolutely love this cookie mug of yours, so unique! I can clearly see in your picture that your RI was very soft, probably you mixed it the day before piping or you mixed it only for few minutes. If you live in Europe please try to find this product ‘Squires Kitchen Professional royal icing mix’, it is made only with egg whites and fine confectioner’s sugar, simply perfection! It is very appropriate to pipe stringworks and long lines. Contact me privately here or via Messenger or via dm on IG if you need any tip about that or consistencies.

Anyhow let me tell you nobody notices these little details, only the cookier do that during the working progress, what I see is simply an original, very beautiful cookie! Bravo!♥️

Thank you for absolutely perfect video tutorial  about your technique how to pipe crochet....have to practice and for sure have to watch again❤️❤️

I find using a piping tip helps with delicate lines like the PME 1.5 .
I also help guide my right hand with my left with such details.
The even pressure comes with lots of practice.
I think you followed the pattern really well.

I appreciate your comment dear Carol😘❤

What a gorgeous mug, Petra! I like the way you have interpreted @Evelindecora’s piped crochet and the use of two different colors of royal icing.  I love how you combined the techniques learned in these first two WLC challenges.
I read that you have tried hard, that you are a little bit disappointed but also that you know what you should do next time. Moreover you even have some more precious tips from Julia and Evelin that you can put into practice. This is exactly the purpose of this challenge and all the challenges before and I saw you growing challenge after challenge year after year.
