We had our young womens sleep over at my house last Thurday night, and we made up Gingerbread cookies (men, hearts, bells, candycane shapes) and decorated them. They looked pretty fantastic - even though we used plastic bags for the piping too :)<br /><br />Your entry cracked me up though, because you mentioned 'Cream of Tartar' which I'd never heard of before! There was a lot of head scratching and suggestions of alternatives before we somehow (google?) decided that a teaspoon of lime juice would do the trick! No idea if that's correct at all, but our icing turned out nice and firm anyway, with egg whites and icing sugar and food colouring, so all good! I'll have to post some pictures on my blog :)<br /><br />xo TammyTammy Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419410261955929701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763172820100676361.post-72586507012920228282009-12-21T16:04:08.976-05:002009-12-21T16:04:08.976-05:00I think we have that recipe you lost:

I had to use the soft ball method. The candy is not quite right but it still tastes good. Your sisters are sleeping when they wake I will try the pralines on them.Larkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01195497068139848064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763172820100676361.post-37101099326661867422009-12-19T22:25:30.609-05:002009-12-19T22:25:30.609-05:00So sweet.

I love North Carolina. :)<br />Someone once asked me why people from Utah (or other snowy states) disliked snow - I answered, I like visiting it, but to do day to day things such as driving and shoveling snow, you do tend to get tired of it.<br />The cookies look tasty! I'm sorry you lost the other recipe.sallysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993186124270052147noreply@blogger.com
