Preparing for Valentine’s Day, Part 2: Decorating Heart-shaped Morsels of Love

  1. Put the confectioner’s sugar into a bowl.
  2. Add in the soy milk. Stir and whisk with a whisk until it’s blended thoroughly.
  3. When the right consistency achieved, add in the agave and the vanilla.
  4. Add in about 2 drops of coloring. Stir.
  5. The decoration can be made by one of two ways: by filling into a tube or by dipping the cookies.
  6. To dip the cookies, just pour about half of the icing out onto a plate. Take a cookie, dip and just press down slightly.
  7. When taking the cookie up, just suspend it for a little while for the icing to drip off, and then turn it over.
  8. Sprinkle something on the icing for decoration.
  9. The other way is to fill in a tube, put the cap back on, hold the tube upside down. Make sure the icing doesn’t drip out.
  10. Just drop the icing by following contour of the cookies.
  11. To make a creative wrapp for the cookies, make the tissue paper into heart shape. Hold the tissue paper into half. On the creased edge draw half of a heart, and then, using scissors, cut out the heart.
  12. Place a paper towel on the table and take a piece of wax paper, about 30 centimeters in length, and place it on top of the paper towel.
  13. Sprinkle in the paper tissue hearts with different colors, different sized hearts, and place randomly on the paper.
  14. Take a second piece of waxed paper and place it on top of the first piece, so the hearts are right in the middle.
  15. And then take the second piece of paper towel and put it on top of the wax paper.
  16. Take the iron, put it on medium heat, and just run it over the wax paper. Be careful not to touch the iron to the wax paper directly because it will melt the wax paper.
  17. To check to see if it worked, just lift up the paper toweland see if the paper is transparent and the hearts are seen.
  18. Cut the pieces of paper to size and wrap the cookies.
  19. With some tape, tape together the top and tie a ribbon around it to make it decorative.
