Today I’m excited to feature a guest post by one of my friends and favorite bloggers, Callye of The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle. If you haven’t been to her blog make sure you head on over to see what else she has to share when it comes tips and tricks to sugar cookie decorating with royal icing and of course just to check out her awesome artistry.

While there are many very talented sugar cookie decorators out there Callye stands out to me for sheer ingenuity. She has the ability to look at practically any cookie cutter shape and then bend and sculpt it into something completely different. She is what I describe as an artist meets engineer.
I’ve asked Callye to share with us a short and simple tutorial on the basics of royal icing and decorating sugar cookies. Since many of you have asked and we have commiserated, about how difficult this seemingly easy art is-yes, this is an art. I’m thrilled that Callye has broken down the basics for an easy-to-follow tutorial with these Jack Skellington cookies.
Please welcome Callye . . .
