"People let me tell ya 'bout my best friend..." (Raise your hand if you are old enough to recognize that song.)OnStar...yes, OnStar is my new best friend. There for me in an emergency, always answers my call (no matter the time of day), helps me find my way when I'm lost...sounds like a best friend to me!
One the perks of test-driving this
Chevy Malibu this month is getting to play around with the OnStar system. I always used to
cry during their commercials, but I didn't realize everything else that OnStar does! The turn-by-turn directions are definitely my favorite part. It's like having my own little concierge right there in the car.
If only it would go fetch me a Starbucks without my having to leave the house.
I brought these cookies over to the Chevy dealership where I picked up the car two weeks ago. Maybe they think I'm crazy professing my love for OnStar in cookie form?
Let's talk about making white icing...Royal icing looks pure white when you make it, but have you ever had it change to an off-white color as it dries? It happened to me only once in a blue moon, but that was enough to drive me insane.
Here's how to fix it:
Americolor Bright White
gel food coloring. Add some to your white icing....and add more than you think you need. It's a toughie because your icing is going to look white already and it depends on how much icing you are coloring. Pretend you are making a "color" icing and go from there.
(These cookies were made with
royal icing colored with AmeriColor Bright White and Americolor Royal Blue mixed with Navy Blue. Letters and star were piped with a #2 tip.)
