WaterColor Decorated Cookies

View fullsize

Ever since I was in The Painted Box (Angela Nino)'s class at CookieCon2017 I've been itching to do some "watercolor" designs on cookies. The fact that she uses my glaze recipe for her "canvas" means I've got a head start.

Angela was gracious to make a YouTube video about how she creates her "watercolors paints" for cookies. After watching it a few times, I quickly purchased some glass stopper bottles, strainer, glass funnel, half pint mason jars, and some EverClear. 

Angela makes it look super easy. I have no idea what I'm doing when I pick up a paintbrush, so these look like a child painted them. But thankfully, watercolors are pretty forgiving. Even though these are pretty rough.....they were still super fun to create and it just makes me want to practice and improve my technique. :)

Thank you, Angela, for sharing your beautiful art with all of us!

Even though this photo was not taken with the cookies featured in this blog post, I wanted you to see the set-up I used to create my watercolored cookies. Angela's YouTube video explains how to make the bottles of color.

Springtime Faces Cookie Collection: Bunnies (Tutorial)

For our final springtime face cookie collection tutorial.....

Bunnies!

To make the bunny faces, you will need:

• Oval cookies
• Round cookie cutter
• Yellow or light colored food color marker 
• White 10 second glaze icing
• Pink 10 second glaze icing
• Black sugar pearls
• Black food color marker

This design is a little trickier than the other two.
You'll need to start by outlining a circle
on the bottom two-thirds of your cookie
using a round cookie cutter
and a light colored food color marker.
I used a yellow one.

Add your sketch of the floppy ears.

Notice I changed my mine and scribbled
all over my cookie.
That's OK....because you'll cover it up with icing. :)

Outline the circle and ears
with white icing and allow
it to dry for 20-30 minutes.

I flooded the ears first and let dry,
because I wanted the face to be puffier
and stand out more.
Who knows if my logic works. haha

When you flood the face,
be sure to drop the black sugar pearls for eyes right away.

Let it dry for an hour. Then add the pink ear parts and nose.
Later go back and outline the "tops" of the ears
with white so they look folded.

After drying overnight,
use your food color makers to add
some personality. :)
