As we celebrate the birth of our great nation and enjoy the sweet freedom that was acquired from it's formation, may we be thankful for all that we have each and every day.
God bless America!

And the rockets red glare.....the bombs bursting in air........ 🎇
I love to make a grouping of cookies that display lots of color and pattern.
Firework rockets were a perfect choice for that.
You could use any cutter that has a long rectangle of some sort in it. You just need to cut one end to have a point for the rocket. (see photo below)
Using this pencil cutter requires no extra cutting at all.
Outline and flood the body of the rockets with fun red, white and blue patterns using wet-on-wet technique.
Add the rocket tops and any additional details to the rocket body.
Pipe a stick or a fuse to the bottom of the rocket.
(see photo below)
Add the sparks to each rocket fuse in white glaze.
Allow the cookie to dry overnight.
Mix silver dust with vodka or clear extract (ex. almond extract) to paint over the fuse sparks.
And now it's time to light the fuses and watch the fireworks....... :)
