It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I even learned what a
Wubbzy was (I'm old). My cousin's little girl, Violet (don't you LOVE that name?), was turning 3. Her party was Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! themed and she needed Wubbzy cookies.
To tell you the truth, I was a little crushed that kids weren't watching Blue's Clues anymore. You see, Steve and I had a
relationship. Some days, he was the only adult contact I had until my husband got home...and he and I became *thisclose*. (Then he left and they brought Joe on board, who might have been cuter, but didn't have Steve's charm. But I digress.)
Back to Wubbzy....character cookies make me nervous. Just look at
Batman. So, I took the chicken's way out and used my icing printer.
But, I think the key to these cookies is the sprinkles.
I really like adding a decorative edge to cookies made using images printed on frosting sheets. That's probably because I never get them on exactly centered. Here's an example of cookies using frosting sheets with a
piped edge.
If you don't have an icing printer, you can usually have them printed for you at a bakery supply shop...call ahead, you'll probably need to format the image for them. I've even heard you can get them from the grocery store!
Just cut the images and peel away from the backing and place on wet royal icing. Allow 2 days of drying time. For the sprinkles, mix equal parts meringue powder and water. Brush on the edges and sprinkle. Voila!
Happy birthday, Violet!
Now, I'm going to check hulu for my old friend Steve.
