Comments on: Poodle Cookies! http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/07/29/poodle-cookies/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I used to work with royal icing all the time and can understand why people back off from it, from just the name. But why did you look for a cookie cutter when you can "make" one yourself. Use a cardboard box (ie from a ceral box, not the corrugated, and pencil in the shape. Cut out and place the stencil on the dough. trace the stencil on the dough with a knife, and voila! This is great for ALL types of shapes. Working as a baker, we have to be inventive with our cookies. This helps. These cookies looks so wonderful!
