I have never imagine myself being one of those parents who would put in effort to bring their kids to watch kiddy shows, less said to bring the kids to meet their favorite idols. Yup! I outdid myself! Well Done CXR! Big K and Lil K are both obsessed with Hi5 and Big K adores one of the members - Steven Nicholson so much that she has been "calling" him on those toy phones since she understands the whole idea of a phone. It is really a pity that he will soon leave the group for greener pastures end of the year and the performance in Singapore this year September would be his last appearance as Hi5.
Well, how could I miss this chance to make some lasting memory for my Kiddos?! And so le Hubs and me decided to bring them to a meet and greet session at some unknown mall prior to their actual performance (which we bought 3 CAT A tixs). It was like spend 50 and earn a chance to take a pic with the group. It was on a sat and so happens, the day before (Friday) is teachers day in Singapore. And so, I decided to do something special for both the teachers and the Hi5 members. I bake some sugar cookies and decorated them for each occasion. This is really simple yet looks so pretty. I reduced the sugar in the sugar cookie so that the overall taste of the cookie would not be too overwhelmed with sugar =)

*Sugar reduced to 1 cup
The one thing I really dread when rolling this type of cookie dough is they become so soft so quickly due to our ever so humid and hot weather. So it would really help if you can do it in a air-con room =)
As for the icing, just mix the following together till well incorporated. And divide them into piping bags and add your desired coloring. You are ready to rock!
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 tbsp milk
For the cookies meant for the teachers, I went for the chocolate coat and covered with toasted almond bits. =)
Big K had a great time running about the school distributing her gift to the teachers. But even better when she presented her Idol with the cookies on stage the next day. She got a big hug and Hi5 from Stevie. This girl is star-strucked! And since this will be the last chance she can get up close and personal with Stevie, we went for the second time on Sunday for the meet up, and yup, we spend another 50 for the queue tickets. Hai.. the money we spend just to make the lil ones happy. But hey... when they are happy... it makes me over the moon =)
