Spring Flowers 2014 Cookie Collection






Spring is such a happy time of year!
I think part of it is because of all the beauty that pops up in the season.
And flowers are definitely a part of the pretty view.

Here's my attempt to recreate spring flowers in cookie form.
They make me happy, happy, happy. :)

Personal Side

Easter has come and gone.....
but our family is celebrating this coming Sunday....so I'm excited. :)

After having worked in the healthcare industry for 20+ years,
I don't require celebrating a holiday ON the holiday.
So I let my kids go to their in-laws/in-loves Sunday......
with the promise that I get them ALLLLL day this coming Sunday. :)

I did the final testing of my Edible Glaze Modeling Clay this week.
It turned out well.
And I got to decorate lots more cookies with the new molds I have.....
plus do some airbrushing.
I stink at airbrushing (I just can't get the hang of how the airbrush works....)
but the molds turned out fabulous.
I'm super excited at the potential of things to come in decorating cookies. :)

My daughter's wedding is just five weeks away......
the time has flown and it's almost here.
I guess I better get out and find a new dress to wear, huh?
;)

Next week I'm going to continue my experimenting with my new tools.
For now.....the plan is all things gold, purple, black and white.
We'll see.....

♥♥♥



Instagram photos for this week:


I love BRP Box.
Their new basket boxes are awesome!

Please tell me it's recognizable!
These were WAY HARDER than I ever thought they'd be......



Happy Saturday!


What a random mish-mash of shapes.....
but oh how yummy the house smells with those expresso chocolate ones. :)
Our family isn't celebrating Easter until next Sunday....
in-laws and in-loves tend to stretch everyone out too thin on holidays.
So we'll reserve next Sunday solely for us. :)


Happy Monday!


You've gotta have a few eggs with that bacon.


This week's cookies.....pink, silver, & black.

Crocus Cookies (Tutorial)





Spring.......the long awaited season has arrived.
And with it.....many beautiful flowers. :)


I've never done crocus cookies before.
They are the flowers that bloom the earliest (often in the snow) and
I didn't want to exclude them in this cookie collection.


There's many different cutter shapes you can use for crocus. 
The goal would be to find something that is bigger on one end and narrows down on the other end.
The cone shape or a triangle are perfect for this.



Crocus come in purple, yellow and white.
Since purple is my favorite color.....I chose it for this variation. ;)

Outline and flood the flower as shown below.
If the cookie shape allows for a stem.....be sure to leave room for it.


Give the first layer about 30 minutes dry time and then add some foreground petals.
With glaze you need to make sure that you keep the petals separate.....or they will run together.


After 30 more minutes, add a few more petals.
The stem can be added now, as well.


Allow them to dry overnight.

Brush on some dry pearl luster dust to give them a beautiful shimmer.
