You can find the recipe and tutorial for decorating here: red velvet shortbread cookies. The "fireplace mantel" is white chocolate; the flames and garland are royal icing. And those lights? They are the hands and feet of gummy bears, snipped off. I am just not sure I could bring myself to do that, but I must say they are the perfect medium to produce real-looking Christmas lights. I think small candies, like M&M baking bits, might also work, but would not look as real.
I can't see myself making dozens of these, but a batch or two, in the company of creative grandchildren, sounds like fun! The shortbread sounds delicious, too.
I've never seen these - very cute!
ReplyDeleteAren't they, Vicki? If I can get to these early in the season, I will try making some with a few of my grandchildren.
DeleteAmazing! Some people are very clever.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could amputate the poor gummie bear hands/feet either - I'd have to make do with less realistic icing dots!

I know ... so very clever. An idea I would never have thought of.
DeleteI tried to avoid the word "amputate" in my post but that is exactly what I was thinking. Just not sure I could do that. I do think maybe the M&M mini baking bits might give the same effect.
Those are cookies?? Wow!!
ReplyDeleteYes; they are cookies. Amazing idea, isn't it?
DeleteCute
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lana!
