To stamp cookies, I just take a black food pen/marker, and color/fill in the rubber stamps with it. Then I gently press each stamp onto the dry royal icing base. I broke a couple cookies from too much pressure. =[ My husband ate all the mistakes.
I usually just stamp the cookies and add some royal icing accents on flowers, or dots where needed. Today, I wanted to try something new. I wanted to paint on the cookies.
I painted all 4 cookies. Well, paint seems misleading. I "painted" each cookie with petal/color dust. So technically, I dusted each cookie. I even made my own colors. I didn't own orange dust, so I mixed yellow and red dust together. I couldn't believe the orange came out so nice. Now I can buy less dust colors. Woot.
See this Easter bunny above? I tried being artistic and do shading. I'm not even sure if my shading is scientifically accurate. I'm not an artist. =/ But it looks pretty, so I went with it!
I hope you enjoy the cookies. They took a long time to "paint." Tomorrow, I will be posting more Easter cookies for you!
These cookies are chocolate sugar cookies. Here is the recipe to them. You can find more Easter cookies there too!
