ISO: ISO Advice on making these lighbulb Christmas cookies...

[tessie-in-cincy]

I've found the cutter online. The website that sells the cookies ($20 for 8!) says they use fondant and royal icing.

I was thinking of using just different colored royal icing for the tops. Coloring and cutting fondant 8x is not happening.

As for the bottoms though maybe white royal icing with metallic silver brushed on? How would I get the lines going across? My fear is they'll come out with either a solid silver bottom or really messy looking bottoms after trying to get the lined-effect.

Baking is so not my forte'. Can you tell?

Tessie, you could pipe out the royal icing with a multi-opening tip, then

use thin silver coloring with either alcohol or extract and paint over the lines when the royal icing has set hard.

See link for Number 134 or 89 icing tip, depending on the size of your cookie.

I have a book that shows the bottoms not painted, but with a hole...

and the cookies are threaded together with a licorice lace... Other than that, I think MarilynFL's suggestion is great!
