The Perfect 'Stache

I've always thought mustaches were so cool (as long as they aren't on my husband).  It must go way back to growing up with a grandpa who had the perfect 'Stache for so many years!  I remember watching him wax it so it would curl at the ends and often he would say "Damn I'm good".  A few years ago my brother in law grew a nice one, I think Gramps was a wee bit jealous of it.  He grew his back but it would not curl like it use to so he shaved it off. It took my grams a day or two to even notice that he was clean shaven.  I noticed it before her, the minute I walked in the door.   With or without it, we love him just the same. 

FRED makes the coolest cookie cutters. They cut and then you can imprint the texture with the back side. I didn't use the texture side this time, I went with sanding sugar on top of the wet royal for a different look.  Super easy set to use even though they are plastic. I shouldn't dog plastic cutters, they work but my preference is straight metal or copper. The painted metal & plastic cutters aren't sharp so they often make a messy edge on the cookies. I just scored the karate set last week off Amazon.com and Paper Source has quite a bit of the FRED product line.   Hopefully I'll have some time and can make karate/UFC style cookies for the next fight night at our friends.
