Wicked Witch Cookies with Green Icing

Wicked Witch Cookies

A spell has been cast on me; since mastering the art of cookie piping during the writing of my book, I have been bitten with the cookie decorating bug and cannot stop.

Cookie decorating may not seem like the perfect activity with a small child around but believe me, it is. The dough can be made in big batches and keeps for ages in the fridge (2 weeks) or the freezer (2 months); a big batch of royal icing in a seal container keeps easily for two weeks.

You can make them a step here, a step there. Make the dough one day. Roll it out and bake another. The biscuits store for ages in the tin so you can decorate them when you are ready. In a life with constant interruptions, they are the perfect project to do a bit here, a bit there. So I’m smitten with biscuit decorating and Halloween was not going to pass without me making something suitably spooky.

These witches were cut out with these Lakeland Halloween cutters, currently an absolute bargain at just £2.29 online – it’s well worth ordering some for next year even if you won’t get them in time for this one – or visit your local store (I am currently in seventh heaven as they’ve opened a branch 15 minutes from my house at Westfield Stratford).

To coincide with Halloween and award-winning musical WICKED‘s sixth annual WICKED Day, 30 October 2011, the WICKED folks have given me TWO tickets to see the smash hit musical at the Apollo Victoria Theatre!

Based on the acclaimed novel by Gregory Maguire that re-imagines the stories and characters created by L. Frank Baum in ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’, WICKED tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two girls who first meet as sorcery students. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

Voted by theatre-goers as London’s “Most Popular Show” (2010 Olivier Award), “Best West End Show” (2011 & 2010 Whatsonstage.com Awards) and “Best Family Fun” (2009 Visit London Award), WICKED makes a magical night out!

WICKED Day is an afternoon of “green” family fun celebrating the long-running hit show to raise funds for the Woodland Trust’s Heartwood Forest Appeal. It features live performances and opportunities to meet the cast. Taking place at the London Film Museum on London’s South Bank, it is free and open to the public.

WICKED Day will give you a flavour of this unforgettable, award-winning musical and discovering that you’ve not been told the whole story about the Land of Oz…
