I must admit Sydney and I are once again writing a post at 1:00 am; we must sub-conscientiously enjoy the hour. Yesterday I explained the romantic and loving memory that The Champagne Sugar Cookies represents for both Sydney and myself. We actually began planning how we would decorate our individual bottles and glasses; when it dawned upon me anyone in a relationship would have a bottle of wine or champagne (with or without alcohol ) representing a heartfelt experience.
Here is how we decorated our glasses and bottles. We moved visit 5th Avenue Cake Designs

Soft peak meringue
. This is almost the same base as above, but if you’re uncomfortable with using raw egg whites the meringue powder works just as well. (Sydney and I prefer the taste of the liquid egg white royal icing).

Stiff peaks base
Once the cookies have completely cooled we covered the cookies with a lightly watered down base to cover the cookies without having to outline.
