Since John has this nice 3D printer, I asked him to make me a dolphin cookie cutter. So he did. I found a lovely icing recipe that made that smooth blue look. Instead of mom’s buttercream icing recipe, I used Royal Icing recipe, which calls for egg whites or meringue...
My birthday was nearly a month ago, but it’s not over yet. Petra’s gift arrived yesterday. Along with this miniature house, I should add that Georgie also gave me something small, but sweet. Laura also gave me something small, but something I really wanted! Now I can carry...
