fun with sugar

mmmmk more sugar decorations! this time we did things a little different, using mostly royal icing which is made from egg whites and sugar instead of Crisco and sugar which makes them a lot easier to work with. however if they come in to contact with any oil at all ( like the icing we were using) they disintegrate. so its a little more complicated. the birds are made from color flow icing which pours like a liquid but dries hard and shiny making great decorations :-)
( eventually I'll remember to make a few bigger ones so I can take better pictures!)
