An Easy Guide to Making Frosted Sugar Cookie Essay

I started out an amateur, frosting pumpkin with a blob of orange and a dot of brown. Fattening and delicious, the frosted sugar cookie has had impacts on most everyones life. Apparently there is a big difference between frosting and icing. I know that frosting is thick and holds shapes like rosettes and shells like those you see piped around the edges of a birthday cake. Icing, on the other hand, is a thinner, more liquid substance, and as it dries it thins out, becomes very smooth across the surface of your cookie, and hardens. Let me tell you something, icing tastes terrible and most store bought frostings do too! Throughout my 13 years as moms little helper Ive mastered the art of frosting sugar cookies, and realized their social impact! I always hear the same thing Maddie we are going to the party, did u frost the cookies? Believe it or not frosted cookies are conversations, compliments, smiles, and even a great first impression.First, you need a cookie, frosting, tooth picks and food coloring. Pinch! Squirt! Let a drop or two of food coloring sit on your frosting mountain and mix it in. Suddenly colorful, your frosting ammo is ready to be loaded into your syringe. When ready, shoot about six or fewer dots from the middle pointed out to place a flower on your cookie canvas. For a thick line hold your syringe close to the cookie, for a thin line hold it further away and move quicker. To make a leaf or ribbon put the syringe on the cookie tilted so frosting can only come out half and move slowly. Use the toothpick to add small details. From then on, let your creativity run wild. Lastly, display your art to friends and family and let it dance across your taste buds....

Character Analysis of Basil Hallward in The Picture of Dorian Gray, a Novel by Oscar Wilde Essay

The main character in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, is a man too easily influenced by his surroundings. He is quoted as saying, Basil Hallward is what I think I am Lord Henry is what the world thinks me Dorian is what I would like to bein other ages, perhaps (Wilde). This comparison falls in line with the moral of the story because Dorian is stuck with eternal youth and beauty even though he has a wicked soul. This causes different views of him by people who observe his daily life. Dorian is a sponge throughout the novel that absorbs everything and allows it to shape his personality, morals, and actions. Dorian Gray takes influence from Lord Henry, Basil Hallward, and the culture of society during which the novel was written. Lord Henry is the epitome of a wealthy, hedonistic gentleman seeking only pleasure, with little regard to cost or consequence. Lord Henry Wotton outwardly propounds hedonism, but it is his extreme egotism that drives him to manipulate both Basil Hallward a

Religious Symbolism in The Blessed Damozel, a Poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti Essay

Dante Gabriel Rossettis poem The Blessed Damozel is full of religious symbolism. There is talk of saints, and the poem itself takes place in heaven. But underneath the religious symbolism is a deep sensuality, that makes one wonder if the white rose of Marys gift referred to in line nine is the gift of Mary the Virgin, or the somewhat less virginal Mary Magdalene. While the Damozel is in heaven, her appearance in heaven, her behaviors in life, and what happens when she and her lover are reunited suggest some less than virginal dealings, yet the damozel is blessed and resides in heaven. Rossetti was the child of liberals kicked out of Italy a heavily catholic country for their extreme political views. While Rossetti himself was not political, he may have espoused similar views regarding politics and religion as his parents. In the poem The Blessed Damozel, Rossetti was given the chance to essentially create his own heaven. Most everything he wrote seems to show that Rossetti espoused

An Analysis of the Character of Chichikov in the Poem, Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol Essay

Dead Souls takes place in the Russia of the late 1800s, where, unlike in America, one must be born into a prosperous family in order to have opportunities. The main character, Chichikov, is clever enough to develop a scheme in which he can rise from being a petty clerk to a respected landowner. In order to do this, Chichikov moves into a new town, pretending to already be a landowner, and begins a quest to buy the names of dead serfs who have not yet been officially reported dead. Each person that Chichkov presents this offer to has a different reaction, starting with the shy and introverted Manilov. Though he does not understand Chichikov's need for the names of these dead serfs, Manilov is a character that is so desperate for company that it does not take any effort to trick him into selling his dead souls cheaply. However, as Chichikov continues his journey, he starts to deal with more clever landowners who become suspicious of his scheme. Chichikov finds that the townsmen know
