April Showers Decorated Cookie Collection

April Showers bring May Flowers......so now you know my agenda for this spring.

I love a rainy day.......it's a snuggly, read-a-book kind-of-day. And the sound of rain falling is so calming and soothing. It seems perfect to celebrate all those spring showers in a cookie set.

 

Rainbow Decorated Cookie (Tutorial)

April showers bring May flowers.......but they also bring rainbows.

I love how whenever we see a rainbow......we are captivated. They truly are a gift from God.

The only drawback to making rainbow cookies is that you have to mix up lots of colors of icing. Thankfully, I had many of these left over from my spring palette. 

It's not necessary to have a specific rainbow cookie cutter. Just use a plain oval cutter with a corresponding smaller oval to cut out the inside of the rainbow. (see photo below)

After the cookies are baked and cooled, start adding the colored lines of glaze from outside of the rainbow to the inside. Pipe about 3-4 lines of each color before moving to the next color. This can be done wet-on-wet.
(For a guide on what order to place the colors, google rainbows and you'll see a pattern.)

 

Boxes Filled With Spring.......Cookies, that is




Spring cookies all decked out in pretty boxes
with ribbon and tags. 

These make wonderful gifts.

That's just what I used them for.




I don't have a source for these particular boxes......
with several of us to get just the right boxes
for cookies! Stay tuned......

Rain Boot (Wellies) Cookies - Tutorial

Just in case some rain sneaks into May......



To make rain boot cookies you will need:
 Believe it or not....I used a cowboy boot cutter
to make these rain boots. :)

You have to cut off the top and
that thingy on the back (spur?).
Then just reshape it with your fingers
to look like a wellie.

 Outline and flood the "upper part" of the boot
leaving enough room for the sole and heel.

After drying for an hour,
outline the sole/heel & upper closure
part of the boot.
Notice I filled in the middle of the enclosure
right away to make it look "set in".

After 20-30 minutes,
flood the sole & enclosure areas.

Yeah for dry feet in the rain 
with style and fashion to boot! haha
