It was all about mustaches in our house earlier this month. My daughter wanted a mustache party for her 9th birthday party and who am I to say no. (She was torn between a mustache party and a hamster party. Ummmm…. hamster? Yeah. So it was a no brainer that I steered her towards a mustache party.) And I’m so glad I did. It was so much fun!
We sent out the Mustache Birthday Party Invitations.
Now it’s all about planning and preparing. And how can you have a party with decorated sugar cookies? They are my absolute favorite and who doesn’t like sugar cookies.? (Yeah, long story. A girl that came to the party actually didn’t like sugar cookies. Or anything else I made. Seriously! Nothing!) But let’s leave her out of the equation for a minute. Because, who else doesn’t love sugar cookies? I’m stinking with a loud “no one!”
I used my favorite sugar cookie and royal icing recipe (that I got from Sue over at Munchkin Munchies.) It’s the only one I use now. We cut out mustaches with our Mustache Cookie Cutter
Ingredients
- 6 cups flour
- 3 tsp. baking powder
- 2 cups butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients and add to butter mixture.
- Mix well. I never chill my dough because I'm too impatient, but it would be good to chill it for an hour or so.
- Roll to desired thickness and cut into shapes.
- Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes or just until beginning to turn brown around the edges.
- Remove to a wire rack and cool completely.
Ingredients
- 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tbsp. meringue powder
- 6 Tbsp. warm water
- food color gel or paste
Instructions
- Beat ingredients 4-5 minutes, until smooth.
- Add food coloring until it's the color you're looking for.
- Add more or less water, depending how thick you want it. Thicker for piping and thinner to fill.
I made them thick so I could put a Cookie Sticks
The birthday girl liked them!
Wait ’til you see what else we made for the party. It was so much fun. Definitely a Mustache Extravaganza!
