The intricate white royal icing over-piped design on a white covered cookie is breathe taking!

English royal icing over-piping has been around since 1900, the technique fell into the background in the late 80’s

with the arrival and popularity of smooth fondant. The beauty of intricately piped details, scrolls and swags

was almost a lost art. Luckily, Martha Stewart has been an influential in bring back the technique.

I have wanted to design a cookie with a Royal Icing Lambeth Style.

Bake, cool, and cover your cookies 1-day prior to decorating.

You can pipe your toothpick roses days ahead..I keep a container of toothpick roses in a variety of colours,

in a small container. Anytime you have extra royal icing pipe roses, blossoms, sweet peas, and ranunculus.

The flowers will keep for a long time.
