Stick Flower Basket Cookie (Tutorial)
In the Woodland Spring Cookie Collection,
the CookieCrazie Cupcake Cutter has came in handy.
This is the third design in the collection that uses the cutter.
This flower basket cookie uses the cupcake cutter the same way as the white basket cookie.
Cut the top swirl off the shape before baking.
(see photo below)
After the brown glaze has dried for about 30 min, pipe some brown vertical stick lines.
Mix up some
edible clay and color a portion green and another portion brown.
Add a tiny amount of water to the clay to make it more pipe-able.
Put it in a piping bag as you would normally pipe the glaze.
Use the
hair/grass tip (Wilton #233) to pipe stems and greenery around the top of the cookie.
(see photo below)
With the brown edible clay and a
#4 round tip, pipe some thick brown vertical "sticks"
over the brown glaze to give it more dimension.
If desired, make some clumps of "moss".
Using
SemiSweet Mike's moss tutorial, crush graham crackers and color them green.
On parchment paper, pipe random areas of green glaze.
While they are wet, cover them with the green crumbs.
Shake off the excess.
Allow moss clumps to dry overnight.
Add some of the moss clumps into the greenery at the top of the cookie.
Pipe some colorful flowers onto the stems and leaves,
or use molded edible clay flowers to decorate the foliage.
Pipe edible clay horizontally across the sticks (your choice color) to represent a ribbon,
and then either pipe a bow or added an edible clay molded bow.
