Realistic Leaf Cookies (Tutorial)





Leaves.....leaves.....and more leaves
It's amazing how many ways you can decorate them to get totally different effects.

For a more realistic look, add the vein of the leaf in brown 10-second glaze first.


Allow the lines to dry for about 15 minutes.
Then outline and flood the entire cookie in whatever fall leaf color you'd like.


The brown veining has two effects.
It shows through the lighter colored glaze.....and it adds a 3D look to the vein.

Allow them to dry overnight.
Using elite/pearl dust and almond extract, paint some shading around the edges and along the veins.
I used green leaf, and bronze dusts on the leaves shown.
