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)

View fullsize

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. :)

Love Ewe Valentines Day Decorated Cookies (Tutorial)

View fullsize

Don't you love how homonyms work perfectly for Valentines Day?

How about making little lamb (ewe) cookies to share love with others?
 

Using this lamb cutter,  cover most of the surface with white glaze, but leave the face, ears and hooves bare. Fill those areas in with tan glaze after finishing with the white.
(see photo below)

Allow the glaze to dry for a couple of hours, and then imprint tiny hearts all over the white portion. (I used the heart shape in this impression tool set.)

Using a small heart cookie cutter, press it into the bottom/back part of the lamb to create an outline. Fill the outline with red glaze. (The smallest cutter in this set was used here.)

Add some facial features with a black marker if desired.
