SHOW OFF YOUR YUM! Food Photography Thread

Hope baking counts here. I have really been following decorative desserts lately, especially cookies. Experimenting with a few sugar cookie recipes and finally nailed a good one. Found a royal icing recipe as well. Trying to get practice in before Christmas time, so here's the evolution of baking/decorating as I try to get better at cookie decorating! My goal is to make cookies so nice, you'll think twice about eating them because they're so cute.

Halloween - Attempt #1 at decorative cookies. Mainly trying to get the cookie recipe down at this point and get familiar with royal icing. A bit burnt as I learned to adjust time, and the poor pumpkin looks goofy.


Family Birthday - My second attempt at these cookies- nailed the recipe and times, so this was about getting a plan for decorating and how to go about it. Learned more about adjusting thickness of icing and how to stage the icing so it didn't run together. These were cute penguins!


Thanksgiving - Tonight's my third go at sugar cookies. Unfortunately, messed up some of my royal icing coloring so they didn't quite get the right color due to too much or lack of food coloring. Because this is the season for pies, these cookies all resembled various holiday pies. Lattice on them wasn't wide enough but still, for my third ever attempt I'm pretty happy.

I made walnut fudge, and waited as long as I could to eat some.

Your cookies are turning out nicely!

Yesterday we had black-eyed peas over white rice with corn bread at our family dinner. One of my favorite meals as a child. My mom makes them so good! First time DH has had it and he really liked it.
