My royal icing turned out well, when I stuck to the rule Use icing sugar five times the weight of the egg white then put in squeezes of lemon juice to get the texture you need . But I think those ninja´s are lovely, and the icing is just fine! Looks like cloth, not latex! So glad that Cassian can´t see them!

The making of it is ok - I learnt that as a child*, but I am not good at smooth application!

*My older cousin and I had the job of icing the Christmas cake from when I was about 8 and he was 13 - but we used to create snow scenes with lots of icy peaks - not fancy decorating.

It can be a project to do with Cassian when it is a horrible wet day in February.

Brilliant! LOL! I need to make more crackers tomorrow, but that's it for my baking excursions this year.

I will probably make a mincemeat and pecan pie for D-d and her husband sometime in the next few days.

The ninjabread men are destined to go to their house when we go on Christmas Day.

Aww yes! They're adorable! Being left-handed I VERY much appreciate the consideration there :D

[curiouswombat]

Thank you! And I bet you get as fed up as we do with so much of life being built for the right-handed.

And some right and some left-handed on purpose

That's awesome. :)
