Adventures In Icing

MY QUEST TO MAKE THE PERFECT ICING (AND EAT ALL THE COOKIES ALONG THE WAY)

Don't you just hate it when you pour your heart and soul out into a deeply personal blog post that took days to write and perfect, only to have it inexplicably disappear into the swirling black hole of the internet? Technology, you suck. 
Although perhaps this a sign that nobody is interested in my deep-rooted insecurities about whether or not I'm good enough to call myself an artist, and that I should just shut up and post pretty pictures. 

And I do have a pet peeve about food bloggers who take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to get to the point or to the recipe, so this is probably for the best.

To summarize the now-lost post: I used to paint and draw. I don't anymore. I don't know why. I'm insecure about it. My husband keeps telling me that I should start painting again, and he's usually right about these things (do NOT tell him I said that). So I painted on some cookies. Compromise, right?  

BUT WAIT. You would think that for someone with such intense (silly, juvenile) insecurities would stick to the kind of painting they know best, right? Nope. Too easy. I tried watercoloring. On a cookie. I have never watercolored a thing in my life. 

It turned out ok. Will I do it again? Not sure. Am I happy that I put myself out there for all the world to see? Am I proud of myself for finally overcoming the demoralizing voices in my head and painting? Eh. I don't know. I ate one of the cookies, and that felt pretty good, so we'll call it a draw. 

See what I did there? Call it a draw? :D ​​

Its beautiful art and creation of kids. Water melon is healthy fruit but we can make it many design of flowers. Like this ideas increase the IQ level of our mind.

These cookies are the cutest flower cookies ever! I just can't help myself from feeling so amazed because I never thought that cookies can be as beautiful as these cookies here. And take note, you have even painted on it like it was some kind of an art. The painting at each of the cookies is actually what really caught my attention. It just proves how much you like what you are doing and how much it made you happy. I hope you will get to continue this passion that you have for your work.
