Police Men cookies

Did you know that when you try to tint royal icing black, using Wilton paste food dye, it looks more like purple? Well, it does. So my police men for the Police/Lego themed birthday party look a little purple. I made the good old "Cookie Monster Cookies" and "Royal icing" to decorate these little gingerbread shaped guys.

I know that some of them look more like garbage men or sailors or something else, but I tried. Their hats are fondant and gum paste mixed together and molded into shape. Very time consuming, especially the hats and the ties. That was my fun for the day!
