Engagement Ring Sugar Cookies

I have a new great respect for decorative sugar cookies. They are difficult to make! :) I made these engagement ring cookies for my sister-in-law, Lindsey's engagement party. (Remember the engagement cake I made for her?)

They are not perfect, but I'm still proud of them!

I used this sugar cookie recipe on Tasty Kitchen from I Am Baker (made 36 cookies, even with me snacking on the dough!)

And I got some help on royal frosting from Cake Journal. Argh. First off - a little black goes a long way. Piping and flooding was hard! I started out that way for the band part and then just started spreading it on the cookie. HA! But I did pipe {most} of the designs on the "diamond".

Also, I had bought fancy "shimmer" for the ring, but it didn't really sparkle...so I improvised. What did I use instead? SUGAR! Duh - don't know why I didn't think of that first! Sugar is super sparkly and way cheaper than buying a bottle of edible sparkles!

I {think} everyone liked them and I know they tasted good! :)

      Eating the batter is ALWAYS the best part of baking. In fact, when I make chocolate chip cookies I always feel sick afterwards because I eat so much cookie dough...but it's worth it!

      I was also looking for an email address for you. Your blog is so cute! I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a guest post for me about modifying homeschool curriculum for special needs, just simple things like cutting a window out of an index card to focus on one word at a time. If you are interested, could you please email me at stephaniegiese@aim.com? Thanks,Brie!
