Cotton Candy Decorated Cookies (Tutorial)

Cotton Candy......it's one of those things that doesn't feel real. You can see it and you can taste it, but it is like eating air....sweet air, that is. 😊

And yet, the memories it brings back are delightful.

I handcut these cookies, but I found a similar shaped cutter to recreate the cookies in this post.

Outline and flood the "cone" of the cookie with white glaze.
Outline and flood the remainder of the cookies with pink glaze. (see photo below)

Allow the icing to dry for about 15-30 minutes and then add detail lines. (see photo below)

After the cookie has dried overnight, combine super pearl dust with some alcohol (or clear extract; i.e. almond) and paint the pink part of the cookie to give it a "feather-y" look.

Now that is cotton candy with some substance. haha

Birthday Cake Slice Decorated Cookies (Tutorial)

Since birthday cookies are probably one of the most common cookies decorated, I always want to make a set from season to season to incorporate the latest things I've learned. I had an even deeper incentive in that LilaLoa's new cutters just became available, and I was anxious to try the new shapes out.

This is the LilaLoa cake slice cutter. 
When I decorated it, I didn't realize that the large hump at the top was supposed to be a candle flame. Oops. Oh well.....I made it my own by just making it be a huge dollop of icing. 

I wanted to add more dimension in these cookies, so I added a thin extra layer of dough to the icing part of the cake slice. (see photo below)

Once the cookies are baked and cool, outline and flood the top icing portion. Add any design you'd like to make it fancy.

Outline and flood the bottom cake portion with a plain-er color (in this case white). Allow it to dry for 15-20 minutes and then take a cake tester and make some horizontal cut lines down the side of the cake portion. (see photo below)

Add Icing color down the left side of the cake to make it complete.
