There are certain things youll simply have to have at a princess party. Frills and lace, a cake with the image of a movie princess, or a tiered number that features candy jewels. Oh yeah, and magic wands. No princess party is complete without magic wands. You could do like many others and make the wands from a wooden rod and a paper star but, for this princess party, why not something a bit more extravagant? Make edible, magic wands and, even though theyll disappear like magic, the girls will never forget them.
One of the great things about edible, magic wands is that you can make them any flavor you want and can decorate them just how you desire. Sugar cookies work really great but you can use nearly any flavor. If you want to make homemade cookies, go ahead. If you want something a little easier, purchase refrigerated cookie dough. Or, buy a boxed mix. Youll need two cookies for each wand.
No matter what kind of cookie dough you have, lightly flour a clean surface, and roll it out so that its about an eighth-inch thick. Use a star cookie cutter to cut the shapes for the wands. Use wooden skewers as the handles for the magic wands. The skewers can be purchased in colors or in an unfinished wood color. Lay one cookie on a baking sheet, then lay a skewer on it, and press the end of the skewer into the center of the cookie. Now lay another cookie on top of that one so that the skewer is trapped between them. Lay as many wands as will fit on the baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees. Bake the cookies for about 9 minutes or until they begin to look brown around the edges. Remove the magic wands from the oven and allow to cool. If you have a wire rack transfer the cookies to it after two or three minutes. Scoop the cookie up with a spatula while lightly holding the stick. After the cookies have completely cooled you have lots of choices for decorating them. Frost them with ordinary frosting or use a gel tube to outline the star. Use candy sprinkles or colored sugar to make the wands sparkle or even press candy jewels - found at online candy stores - into the center of each cookie. Tie curled ribbon onto each stick, close to the cookie, to finish the wands. If youre giving the magic wands out as party favors you might want to cover them with cellophane. Plus, colored cellophane can lend to the overall look of the magic wand. Theyre cute, scrumptious and easy to make. See edible magic wands.
