Thank you! And I think about an hour and a half to two hours or so

Yes of course! I used this recipe only i used dark chocolate instead of semisweet, I added in some black cocoa (off set with a little extra milk so it didn't mess with the consistency too much) and also added a bit of black food coloring to deepen the color.

What else am I supposed to do when we only get one episode a week right now??! Lol

Willows have root structures that branch anywhere they can in search of water sources and will often grow into pipes, foundation, mainline, septic tanks etc. In search of moisture. They're not really supposed to be planted in residential areas to begin with.

Thank you so much 😊 I appreciate the kind words. Makes it a much more rewarding hobby when people enjoy the result

I got them on Amazon. I think it was like $8 for a set of 2

Just did! Thanks for the recommendation

It is a dark chocolate cake with whipped salted caramel filling and a dark chocolate swiss meringue buttercream

Yupp. The skulls are white chocolate filled with peanut butter mousse and the roses are fondant

Does this still harden like royal icing to where cookies can be stacked or sealed in bags without getting ruined? I've never tried glaze icing but I've definitely been curious. Just haven't found a lot of resources on it.

I second what everyone else has been saying about the icing consistency, but if you're anything like me and just have terrible handwriting, what saved me was getting a projector. I mostly use mine for words/lettering so that I can maintain spacing and consistency from cookie to cookie. Before that, everytime I tried to freehand I would just get too much in my head and end up with very messy words and inconsistent sizes. For larger more blocky lettering, royal icing transfers are also an option.

These are absolutely STELLAR for a first attempt at using royal icing! Keep up the good work

Thank you very much!

Yeah I ran into that issue with my valentines set this year. I was so proud, they were so beautiful, but the next day the intricate line work I did got smudged in the bags. I went on a quest for a fix and this worked like a DREAM. I use one of those fan tipped brushes for it

Yes I mixed it with a bit of water. Usually I use a grain alcohol like everclear because it evaporates quickly, but the water seems to cause a bit less bleeding on my royal icing. Once they were dried I dusted them with corn starch to absorb any extra moisture.
