TRANSCRIPT:\r
Im with Deb Kaneb. Shes the owner of Batter Up Bakery, and shes going to decorate some cookies today.\r
\r
Yes. These are butter cookies which Im going to frost. These are very popular as favors-- wedding favors, bar mitzvah favors.\r
\r
But these are not going to be wedding favors. These are going to be something very special.\r
\r
Exly.\r
\r
But were going to let people see what that is.\r
\r
Youll see. So I have an offset spatula, and I really like to use the offset spatula. I put the frosting on the back of the spatula, and I--\r
\r
Now what kind of frosting is that?\r
\r
This is a royal icing. If you go online, you can find many recipes for royal icing. Very simple. Its meringue powder, confectioners sugar, and water. We just beat that up in the mixer until it looks nice and glossy.\r
\r
Yeah, and its kind of runny so its easy to spread.\r
\r
Its runny, and so exly. Easy to spread and its going to make a nice, flat surface that we can then decorate.\r
\r
Now your company has many cookies. You make them all here in your kitchen.\r
\r
I do. Macaroons are a very popular option, and of course chocolate chip. You cant have a cookie company without chocolate chip. Chocolate peppermint. A kids favorite is snickerdoodles.\r
\r
Theyre great ideas for birthday parties, for--\r
\r
College kids and favors.\r
\r
Oh, you can send them to college.\r
\r
I pack them individually and I put ribbons on them and people use them as favors.\r
\r
So this cookie is your butter cookie?\r
\r
Exly.\r
\r
And I think you mentioned to me that its one of your most popular cookies.\r
\r
It is.\r
\r
But they always come decorated, this kind?\r
\r
Yes, they do. You can use any color frosting, and we can use sprinkles, and we can use multiple color frostings.\r
\r
These are beginning to look really lovely, and they are shiny. Does this have to set a little bit?\r
\r
If you want the colors to blend together, then you would decorate right now. For example, you could draw lines across it and then pull a toothpick across it and it could make a tie dye pattern. But if you want the frosting to sit on top, then yes, we would wait for this to cool, and you kind of have two separate, distinct colors.\r
\r
Now, what cookie shape would you use for a wedding favor?\r
\r
We have wedding cake shaped cookies. Its three separate distinct layers, and you can frost them with different color frostings or all one frosting color and use sprinkles on them. So some of the frosting might drip down the side, but I think that adds to the personal look of the cookie. That doesnt bother me at all. And you can tell that these cookies are not mass decorated. Theyre decorated by hand.\r
\r
Well, even though youre a cookie company, you can still say these are homemade cookies.\r
\r
Theyre made in my home, so that certainly qualifies, I think.\r
\r
And in small batches.\r
\r
Small batches right in my Kitchen Aid mixer. I have two Kitchen Aid mixers that are on my counter at all times and ready for use.\r
\r
OK, so now--\r
\r
So now what we have here is I put some red frosting in a pastry bag. I like using gel food colors, and you have to put a fair amount of gel food coloring in a white frosting to make a red.\r
\r
So this is royal icing again?\r
\r
Yep. This is the same royal icing that I made to decorate these cookies. I just separated some of it and tinted it with red food coloring. They ually sell it AC Moore or Michaels, or you can order some online. And Ive experimented with some natural food colorings also. They dont always give the ex color the customer wants, but ideally, I would be able to use all natural food coloring.\r
\r
All right. So what are these cookies going to be? Lets see.\r
\r
So we have here on our pastry bag is a round tip, and its the number two tip for decorating our cookies. So now what were going to do-- lets see if you could guess, Heather, what this is going to be.\r
\r
Isnt that sweet, and so simple.\r
\r
There you go. Thats all there is to it.\r
\r
Is that your design?\r
\r
Yes.\r
\r
Good job.\r
\r
When I first started my company, I was hired to make many, many of these as a favor for a business.\r
