Poker Cake

I was thinking "wow, card cookies, that would be so cute!" and so I agreed to make them and then I realized, "wait a minute, that's going to be really hard." Typically, for decorative cookies, I would use royal icing and pretty much paint the cookie but I decided painting cards for a royal flush would not only be too time consuming, but wouldn't look very good either. Thankfully I have my little frosting printer and even though it gave me some grief and I went through several sheets of frosting paper, I finally got it to print some cards for me. And since I used that, I could use the better tasting butter cream for the icing. Also, I didn't realize you can't paint dyed fondant with white. I just couldn't get that to work right. Close up the chips are a bit sloppy but they look great far away. :)
