One of my good friends is a realtor and she requested some house and key cookies for a Christmas party for her clients. Well, at first she wanted a "SOLD" sign but I couldn't locate a cookie cutter for it until after I had made these. Maybe next year!
These cookies were made with lots and lots of layers. The black roof, the white body, then a red door, then gray windows, detailing and bushes with flowers. It took me about 10 hours to ice these babies, as they are the most detailed cookies that I have done so far.
Metallic keys! How do you get metallic cookies you ask? Easy as pie, so easy a kid can do it, easy cheesy, okay you get it! Keep reading...
This is lustre dust, sold in small vials at (some) craft stores or online. You mix some of the powder with a little vodka (yes you read that right) and voila! Instant metallic! Brush a small amount over top of your icing and it becomes really silvery and neat.
Each bag of icing used gives me lots of added stress! Each batch of icing can differ depending on the temperature, humidity, and other things making it either too thick, too thin, or too frustrating. This batch kind of gave me a cookie meltdown but I am back in business!
