....hoppin' down the bunny trail,
hippity, hoppity,
Easter's on its way!
They gave me an excuse to break out the sanding sugar...and I like a cookie with sanding sugar. And, really, something about SPRING just screams sanding sugar to me. You, too?
Here's how I add sanding sugar once a cookie is complete:
- Let the cookies dry overnight.
- Mix together equal amounts of meringue powder and water, just stir it together with a spoon. (I used 1/2 tsp. each here.)
- Using a small (food-only) paintbrush, brush the mixture along the edge and tail of the bunnies.
- Sprinkle on the sanding sugar. Shake off the excess. (I use a coffee filter to catch the excess and funnel it back into the container. Read more about how I set up a "sanding sugar station" here.)
I want to see what YOU are making for Easter! Cookies, cupcakes, crafts? Link them up below!

A "food-only paintbrush"? Where's your sense of adventure?
ReplyDeleteDo you ever do classes? I'm in Austin and would gladly make the trip to learn at the feet of a master!
Your cookies are always Perfection but these bunnies are darling and BETTER than W-S could ever do!

Freakin' adorable! But that doesn't surprise me coming from you. Thanks for the tip of 'sanding sugar' I was going to attempt sanding this weekend but with a much different approach,...I'm glad I found this bit of help to avoid my potential disaster! :) Thanks for hosting the linky as well,....I linked up two posts! :)

How cute! Love these guys!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these!!! Great job! I'll have to try that with the sanding sugar - usually I put it on wet piping or corn syrup (on an un-iced cookie).
ReplyDeleteWilliams-Sonoma has nothing on you Bridget! These bunnies are so cute and I love how you changed up their nose colours on each one. Another informative tutorial on the sanding sugar. Thank you. BTW, you did not miss the link for the tulip cookies, I haven't posted it yet. My KA stand-mixer arrived today:) So excited to try it out!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely precious!! So sweet!!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Love the touch of sanding sugar!
ReplyDeleteBridget, you're so talented that it makes me sick! I'm kinda glad that I don't live to close to you. I think I would be buying wayyyy too many of your cookies and getting wayyyyyy too fat!
ReplyDeleteI'm not trying a very "Eastery" thing, but I am making...gosh...don't even know what you call 'em - they have graham cracker on the bottom, you melt butter and brown sugar and spread over top, then you put melted chocolate and then pecans! Mmmmmmmm.
Those bunnies are the cutest ever. I need to go back and read some of your past posts and see how to do the really smooth icing like you have on your cookies. My daughter and I want to make sugar cookies, but I have never been able to get my icing to look like that. There has got to be a trick. Happy Easter. Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteI think cute cookies TASTE way better than ugly cookies.
ReplyDeleteI should know. I've had yours and mine :)
Those are just precious! Thanks for the link..sorry I think I messed it up, though.
ReplyDeleteI always love ur absolutely delicious cookies ...they are super rocking always ....
ReplyDeleteand these top too, oh to find sanding sugar out here is a dream come true:-)))
