Lemonade 2015 Cookie Collection





I can't seem to get enough of the summer-y lemonade cookie theme.
I did the same theme in similar colors a few years ago.

It was time to revisit the fun shapes and colors.....
adding all the new techniques and mediums learned since then.

Lemon Cookies (Tutorial)






Fruit cookies are so fun!
This Berry Berry Cookie Collection proved to be a favorite.

So today, it's time to make some realistic-looking lemon cookies. :)

I hand cut these shapes (except for the slice circle) because I couldn't find cutters to fit the need.

Outline and flood the whole lemon in yellow glaze.
Outline and flood most of the half lemon except for a small half circle at the end. (see photo)
Only outline that part in yellow.
And likewise, only outline the lemon slice in yellow.


Add some lighter yellow glaze as a highlight on the whole lemon.
Fill in the cut end of the half lemon with the lighter yellow.
And flood the inside of the lemon slice with the lighter yellow.


Allow the cookies to dry for at least two hours.
Press a dot texture mat into the darker yellow glaze (lemon peel) to give it dimension.


Add a thick white outline to the half lemon and lemon slice (seen in photo) using a #3 round tip.
Then using a #1.5 PME tip, add the wedge lines in white glaze.


Dry the cookies overnight.

Mix some bronze and super pearl dusts together.
Brush the dry dust onto the outer surfaces of the lemons to emphasize the texture.


Add some sparkle gel in between the wedge lines to emulate the wet lemon pulp.
