How to Decorate Valentine's Day Cookies ❤️

This set of Valentine's Day minis is just so precious and sweet! These are JUST the right size minis for me at 2.5": not too small and not too big. Too small and I always get super frustrated! It's hard with minis to keep it simple, but that's the goal. Enjoy!

***Please note: my LEMON royal icing recipe does NOT work with all of the Master Elite colors due to the acidity of the lemon juice -- a VANILLA (non-lemon) recipe is best used for the Master Elite pinks, otherwise I use all of their other colors with my lemon recipe (I use Wilton pink with my lemon recipe)

"We go together like..." is full of the cutest food pairs: bacon and eggs, milk and cookies, peas and carrots, donuts, and coffee. Such a cute theme for Valentine’s Day! Watch on for a satisfying time-lapse compilation of this whole set :)

Projector: I own both of these projectors. I first owned the Pico and purchased the Bluetooth as an upgrade. If budget is a concern, the Pico gets the job done (just make sure that you're plugging it in correctly!). Otherwise, I recommend the Bluetooth - it has a better/brighter image and connects via Bluetooth.

Please note: due to a malfunction on the back end of my YouTube channel, all comment responses I’ve ever given as the channel owner prior to April 6, 2023 were unfortunately deleted (any comments left after that date are still OK). It’s such a bummer and I appreciate your understanding ❤

And, I going to ask you thought about making magnets? These would make great fridge magnets or anywhere magnets.

I made conversation hearts to fill gaps/spaces between 4” heart cookies in the box. They were a BIG hit!

Honestly I think you're too hard on yourself with the last cookie! I understand all the points you made about what you might have done differently. But the finished result is gorgeous! If you hadn't piped those extra lines, you wouldn't have got that adorable result where the green and white are roughly equal in size. It's beautiful and if it's not what you intended then I would say it's a very happy accident!
