Watch on for a real-time tutorial of how to decorate this love birds set of cookies with royal icing!
Satisfying time lapse compilation of this set:

Amazon shop of my favorite things:
*I do receive a small commission from items purchased from my shop. I only include items I personally own and love!*
Projector: I own both of these projectors. I first owned the Pico and purchased the Bluetooth as an upgrade. If budget is a concern, the Pico gets the job done (just make sure that you're plugging it in correctly!). Otherwise, I recommend the Bluetooth - it has a better/brighter image and connects via Bluetooth.

The Sugar Art -- -- my favorite for:

- Sterling Pearls (metallic dusts like gold):
- DiamonDust (edible glitter!!):
- Elite color (powdered food coloring for painting and dry dusting):
- Master Elites (highly pigmented powders for coloring icing...a MUST for red and black!!):
***Please note: my LEMON royal icing recipe does NOT work with all of the Master Elite colors due to the acidity of the lemon juice -- a VANILLA (non-lemon) recipe is best used for the Master Elite pinks, otherwise I use all of their other colors with my lemon recipe (I use Wilton pink with my lemon recipe)
