My dad's birthday is today....
happy birthday, Dad!!! He came to visit over the weekend and we had some friends over to celebrate. Here are the cookies from his party...

I was so afraid he would step off the plane with his goatee shaved off, but he didn't...whew!
After seeing Laura's
post (she's the owner of
A Dozen Eggs and makes
perfect cookies) about using flood icing on top of dried flood icing, I thought I would try it for these.

I really liked the way it added some dimension to the cookies. I outlined and filled the face and the shirt and let that dry for about 2 hours. Then I outlined the hair, goatee and button onto the semi-dry flood icing. Then, the hair, etc. were filled in with flood icing.
After drying overnight, I added the nose and lettering with a food coloring pen (AmeriColor Gourmet Writers.)

We had such a fun time! I think I am still suffering from a margarita, cake, cookie, tamale, queso, empanada overload!!! Happy Birthday, Dad!!! We love you!
