Easter Decorated Cookie Collection

It is such a fun time of year…..when we break out all the colors of the rainbow and prepare to celebrate such a blessed holiday.

Easter egg cookies are like Valentine heart cookies to me. There are SO MANY things you can do with the plain shape. Love it!

I hope this spring-y holiday allows you to stop and enjoy all the wonderful things we are blessed to be surrounded by.

For me, every holiday has become a time to reflect and be reminded of how valuable each day is and how precious each relationship is.

Happy Easter!

💗💜💛💚💙

WaterColor Decorated Cookies

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.

 

Hippity Hoppity Easter Decorated Cookie Collection

It is so fun to change up the colors and styles of cookies going from the winter months into spring. The bright cheery colors lift the spirit and remind everyone of all the new life that occurs during this season.

I wish you all a very Happy Easter and a blessed Resurrection Day!

 

Painted Background Silhouette Easter Decorated Cookies (Tutorial)

After discovering the neon sign style for cookies, I wanted to transfer that simple, clean look into a pastel spring color setting. I tried by using a white background on the cookies, but it was not the look I was going for. However, when I painted the cookies with bright spring-y colors and used white glaze for the silhouette and detail lines, it matched what I was envisioning.

Just like with the neon sign style, once you get the background painted on, the decorating is super quick and easy.

Using a mixture of bright Americolor gels and vodka (or a clear extract like almond), paint the surface of each cookie completely.

Allow them to dry for a few hours.

Using white glaze, add the outlines and detail lines to each cookie.
There are no set rules here, so have fun with this!
P.S. I had to keep reminding myself that simple is better. :)
