Everyone who knows my husband, knows what a big fan of the Montreal Canadiens he is. I think he has gotten every Canadiens memorabilia there is on the market as birthday and christmas presents. So I decided to give him something no one else could...food and Habs combined! The result, hmm, so-so...because I had to pipe the sign by eye, the proportions aren't quite right and this especially shows on the left where the red always had to be made thinner than it should-and because I had such little space left, the white was hard to pipe there too... but soon I will have my kopykake machine and will be able to make perfect reproductions! Ok, it'll still be me and my shaking hand, but at least I will be following a made line... Let's start with the cookie itself. This is my favorite recipe ever. It is just perfect and barely spreads. It's not super flat, but I can live with that, 'cause I just want them to taste great! I printed out a canadiens logo on picture paper (took like 15 tries till my stupid printer finally centered the logo on the paper!!) and cut it out. Placed the paper on the dough and cut around. As for the rest-like I said, I had to do it by eye. My very first finished ones, I had filled in the gingerbread spaces with white as well, and my husband just totally insulted the result, what was his wording...something along the lines of, the cookie looks like how the canadiens are playing at the moment...you can recognize them but they aren't quite right? Bastard... ah whatever, he was right, I just didn't want to hear it from him. Anyways, this is the result...what do you guys think?
