Just another half baked meal prep post

I periodically decorate sugar cookies for friends and family, and I got enough new shapes that I decided "spring" was as good a reason as any to try them out. Here they are in their undecorated state.

Lots of colors of royal icing.

Giving my friends an excuse to ask me "what does the fox say?"

Some pretty straightforward animals, I am trying to work on blending colors to give things a texture.

Moose and sqvirrel!

I was disappointed that I didn't notice the hore shape's similarity to Scandinavian dala horses until I got to the last one, but I will keep that in mind for next time. A little sloppy, but an ok first try.

Dragons, unicorns, and popsicles. You know, the big 3.

Bunnies, dragon eggs, seahorses, and fairies. Anything that needs to look human-esque is hard. The fairies are another first attempt that taught me things.

Detail on the seahorses, I got really into this decorating technique, as you can see later.

Tardi, dogs, bears, ice cream, and conjoined gingerbreads (from a friend's trip to the Mütter Museum).

The tattoo set was a major reason why I wanted to do this batch of cookies. It allowed me to declare my love for my friends' dogs in cookie form.

The internet lost it's mind over corgi cookie cutters a couple months ago, and I got tagged in at least 5 posts about it. A friend got me a set and now I have a decent idea of how to decorate them.

Easter eggs, because they did go out around that time, and I got really into that icing technique. The top ones have chunky sugar on them to give them a crystallized look. Also, Ninja Turtle and bi pride flag versions.

I like this batch of Chewbaccas, penguins are new (still working on their beaks), and I realized I forgot to give the dragons some fire earlier (my cousin calls this dragon shape a kangaroo lizard...)

Pac-Man, ghosts (made using tiny tulip cutters), Hawaiian shirt style hibiscus (for a friend who always wears them), The Monarch and Blue Morpho (I re-watched all of The Venture Bros while working on this project), baby dragons in eggs, and BEES!!

These were hard, but I like the results, especially the one with red sugar.

Then I packed them all up into boxes with the rest of the cookies (shortbread bites, sprinkled sugar, M&M, strawberry shortcake) and sent them off into the world.

No dog of my own, so I give you my aunt's WhozAGoodBoy for dog tax.

I stole my favorite comment from my post of holiday cookies for this title, because I still remember it months later. @stilltryingtofigureoutafunnyname

Since I have gotten the question before, yes I share my recipes. It was just dumb luck that I found good ones in the first place:

Royal Icing (you will probably have to add more water at the end, because the prescribed amount always is too dry for the smooth surface I want) - http://sweetopia.net/2012/01/royal-icing-recipe-free-illustrated-recipe/
