I wasn't sure about the "grass" when I was decorating them, but now that they are finished, I'm glad I added it.
I like them mixed in with the Easter chicks. :)
To make the basket cookies:
{isn't this cookie "sketch" cool?!?}
- Using a #2 tip, outline the bow in pale yellow (Spectrum Lemon Yellow).
- With a #3 tip, outline the basket in purple (AmeriColor Violet).
- Still using the #3 tip, make the basket handles, pulsing the icing bag as you run it along the cookie to make bumps.
- With a #2 tip, outline the eggs...one each in pink (AmeriColor Soft Pink), blue (Spectrum Sky Blue), and yellow.
- Thin all of the icing with water until it is the consistency of syrup. Cover with a damp dishtowel.
- Before using each color, run a rubber spatula through the icing to break any large bubbles. Transfer to a squeeze bottle.
- Fill in the basket in purple; use a toothpick to guide the icing to the edges.
- Fill in the bow and one egg in yellow.
- Fill in the blue and pink eggs.
- Let dry at least one hour.
- With a #2 tip, add the detailing to the basket.
- With a #2 tip, add the detailing to the bow.
- Using a #1 tip, pipe Easter grass along the edge of the basket in light green (AmeriColor Leaf Green).

ReplyDeleteThank you for this TUTO, Bridget! Sometimes the tiny dots I add to my COOKIES for decoration, pulverize after they dry :( do you know what causes this?
ReplyDeleteBea...
ReplyDeleteThat is strange. I've some of the tiny dots (like eyes) "pop off" before, brushing up against another cookie. Maybe Laura knows?!? :)
