We went to Sophie's best friends birthday party on Sunday William had hit the ripe old age of 2. William loves cars and actually likes the movie Cars too, so Sophie and i got cracking in the kitchen to make William some lighting McQueen cookies.
After making some chocolate cookie dough and rolling it out we cut out a picture of Lightning McQueen and placed this on the dough and cut round it with a knife. I could of hand made a cookie cutter but the shape was simple enough to cut round as a template.
While the cookies were cooling we counted up the colours and made a big batch of icing and started to mix each colour up ready to put into piping bags, Sophie got busy stirring and did a great job.
First we did the red outline and let it set then filled in the windows and teeth with white and let that set.
Once the red outline was set we flooded the red for the car and black for the tires and mouth and let that set. Finally adding all the top layer of detail such as eyes, lights and flashes etc. They look ok but i defiantly need more practice with my flood icing and i forgot to put an addition e on Rusteze, but i dont think William noticed as he was licking all the icing off them. Happy Birthday William !
