What's their texture like? Is it like a white cake (butter+egg whites)?<br />I also took a Cake Cecorating class at Michaels and that really helps.

For those whose traditions include cookies as part of their holiday baking, it would be fun if you shared your favorite cookie recipe.

I had no experience with piping when I took my first class, and it improved a lot after just the first day. <br /><br />I did make these cakes on Saturday, but I have been so busy baking and decorating cookies that I haven't had time to post. I will try to get my post up tonight and maybe get some cookie pictures up as well.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219860093366793324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-34721486014691120592010-12-14T07:48:06.829-08:002010-12-14T07:48:06.829-08:00I miss baking with all of you!
