Who is your Wonder Woman? Mom, wife, sister, aunt, cousin, daughter, friend? I bet you have one.
I've always loved Wonder Woman and when I was younger, I dreamed of wearing a Wonder Woman outfit to a costume party.
{Now, at age 41, I don't see that happening....unless Wonder Woman starts donning capri pants and cardigans.}
And is it just me, or does that W look an awful lot like the Whataburger logo? Maybe I *could* be Wonder Woman after all. (And if you don't live in the south and don't know Whataburger, I'm sorry. Really, really sorry.)
The cookie shape itself was made from using 3 cutters I had onhand: bikini top, onesie and a circle for cutting.
First, I started with the bikini tops and the onesies.
The bikini top as is was a little "busty" for the onesie, so I performed a little reconstructive surgery.
Then, the top of the onesie was chopped off...
...and I made a cut out so that the top would fit.
I used the edge of a circle cutter to nip her in at the waist. (If only life were so easy.)
And then, put the pieces together.
{Hint: I always freeze my cut-outs for 5-10 minutes before baking.}
For decorating, you'll need:
- royal icing tinted with AmeriColor
Super Red, Royal Blue, Egg/Lemon Yellow, Super Black and a bit of Bright White,
- disposable icing bags,
- squeeze bottles
,
- toothpicks,
- #1 & 2 tips and couplers,
- star sprinkles or white royal icing to make the stars
With a #2 tip, outline the shape in black.
{I originally started with a #3, because I wanted the outline to really show, but it was too thick. If you make a mistake on a cookie, scrape it off and try again. :) Toothpicks are your friend.}
Thin the red, yellow and blue icings with water until it is the consistency of thick syrup. Let sit for several minutes covered with a damp dish towel. Uncover and stir gently with a silicone spatula to pop air bubbles that have risen to the surface. Transfer to squeeze bottles.
Flood the cookie with the thinned icing.
Let sit at least one hour.
With a #2 tip, add the black detail. Go over the "W" and the belt in black as well.
Let dry for several hours. If you are a good planner, add the white star sprinkles you have onhand with a bit of royal icing. If you are NOT a good planner, ahem, pipe the stars with white royal icing.
OH! I almost forgot! I made the Invisible Jet, too!
And and you must (MUST!)....go take a peek at Gail's (of One Tough Cookie) superhero cookie CAKE! Isn't that the coolest?!?
Who is YOUR Wonder Woman?
{Happy, happy Mother's Day to all of you moms (Wonder Women) out there!}
