Everyone! Happy Merry Christmas! !! You who rejected the word "Christmas" before you thought "... No, it's too early". You are sad. I would like to dedicate this article to you alone. Let's propose a way to spend Christmas without loneliness , surrounded by many "smartphone apps". Look, laugh. I'm not alone this winter.

Why is it a smartphone app? There is no point of contact between Christmas and the app, but if you want to force it, it would be nice to say, "The colorful icons resemble the illuminations that decorate the city." Anything is fine, it's Christmas ... Anyway, I want to convey this fun. I want to give it. I want to share. For the time being, you should try making it!


Suddenly, let's bake cookies first. The point here is to " round the corners " like an app icon. It doesn't matter if it's a little ugly, but if you think it's "round", that's fine.

Refer to Cookpad for how to make cookies! If you don't have time to make cookies, you may buy ready-made products at the supermarket! This time as well, I will proceed with the feeling of other power application!


The main subject is from here. Christmas won't wait. Hurry up and get the following:

【Things necessary】
[Maine]
・ Cookies, icing sugar, icing color / food coloring (red, blue, yellow, green, orange, brown, etc.)
·water
[Cooking utensils, etc.]
・ Bowl ・ Spoon x number of colors ・ Plastic cup x number of colors ・ Kitchen paper ・ Cooking sheet / Granshin paper ・ Saran wrap ・ Measuring instrument ・ Cloth
[Used for decoration]
・ Muddler spoon ・ Toothpick


When you're ready, choose the app icon you want to create. At this time, freehand is fine, so if you make a draft in the actual size, you can get a feel for the actual decoration. Check the color scheme when applying the icing color. By the way, in this article, we will create a total of 24 apps with 4 x 6 steps of iPhone5 specifications!


● Let's make colored icing cream!

Put icing sugar and water in a bowl and stir well to make icing cream. For every 100g (3.53oz) of icing sugar, 1.5 tablespoons of water (may vary depending on the product!). Transfer the finished product to a plastic cup for the number of colors used for the base, and add icing color (or food coloring) to color each!


Next, make as many cornets (tools for squeezing cream) as the number of colors, and stuff icing cream (appropriate amount) into the cornets. It is convenient to leave a cup of hot water to remove the icing cream on the spoon!


● Let's paint the base color!

Pour a generous amount of soft cream in the center of the cookie and spread it over the entire surface with a muddler spoon. Be careful because if you play with it too much, it will lose its shape!


● Finally, the highlight of your arm! Let's decorate!

There are two main decoration methods. "How to draw directly on the base" and "How to make and paste separately". The recommended usage is the former for simple shapes such as circles and small parts such as letters, and the latter for others. If you want to make it neatly, use the latter "method of making and pasting separately" to finish it carefully.


When drawing directly on the base, it is good to use a toothpick for small parts! The alphabet is surprisingly easy, but it's difficult to write kanji ...


In the latter, a cooking sheet is laid on the design drawing, and the draft is passed through and the shape is traced. The finished product can be easily peeled off from the parchment paper by leaving it overnight. Finally, apply icing cream to the back and stick it to the base to complete!

● Let's be fascinated by looking at the finished product!





Now that you've finished promoting the "Eat" app, please try "Do Up" for the three most difficult ones!




How is it? I would be really happy if you read this and thought, "I want to spend Christmas with icon cookies!" I'm sure you'll have a happier Christmas than last year.

One last piece of advice to all pure people. This is my rule of thumb, but "the pain of eating a large amount of icon cookies alone is not the same as Christmas alone." Have a nice Christmas, everyone!
