I felt like I turned a corner in the summer of 2007. That is when I started using Americolor soft gel paste drops to make some of my colors (red, black, navy, and brown) and also I made many more colors of my shiny hard icing for the base on the cookies. Thus.....my cookies got more colorful and more true to life looking.
And what fun are the shapes for summer......flip flops, lady bugs, ice cream cones, and the like.
