For some reason, I LOVE trying new things with these cookies. My latest commission was for a customer that will be celebrating Eid tomorrow. New commission = new products to try! This time I tried Wilton's Pearl Dust in Gold. I don't think this was supposed to happen, but I ended up using the whole vile of dust. Definitely operator error. I think the key was consistency. I mixed lemon extract with the pearl dust, but I just couldn't get the thickness right. Plus, I know I added too much of the mixture to the stars because it pooled in the center and cracked as it dried. Luckily I made a bunch of practice cookies!
I'm also realizing that I'm not using enough royal icing to fill the shapes. I'm my own worst critic, but I can see where I could have added more icing to the crescents and stars. On to my next experiment!
