I was overwhelmed by the response that I got from my April Showers collection. It really warmed my heart to know that so many people liked my design. There were a few questions about how I made the flowers on the boots and umbrella. The flowers were made using a wet on wet technique. This is simply where you drop flood consistency icing onto a cookie that has just been flooded and is still wet. I learned this technique from Sugarbelle here.
I’m using this technique again for my Easter cookie designs and I thought I would film myself doing it so that you could see it in action. I forgot that Sugarbelle had made a video on wet on wet & I realized it when I was writing this post and linking to her sight.聽Now you’ll have two videos to watch. 馃檪
In the video you will also see me pipe and flood a cookie. Hope you find this video helpful. Have a great week everyone!
Just found you from pinterest. Very helpful for a newbie cookie decorator!! Thanks!
How do you get the colors from the petals to not spread into the white of the background?
I have found that if my flood layer is a thinner consistency then the icing that I make the dots with needs to be thicker than the flood layer. This seems to prevent spread.
Just found your blog. You are a truly amazing cookie artist. I hope to get as good as you. I’ve done cakes. But I want to try my hand at cookies. Love your detail. Just amazing!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing with us all!!!!!!!!
Thank you Yvonne. Once you get into cookies you will be hooked 馃檪
can you post your frosting recipe?? thanks! I’m extremely inspired!
Great tutorial!
How long does the first layer of flood icing stay liquidy enough to use the wet-on-wet technique? Great video, I found it on YouTube first & then came here – thanks for posting it!
I love the look of this particular technique but run into issues every time I try it using light and dark colours. For example if the largest area I flood is a dark pink and I drop in white dots..by morning the pink has bleed into the white dots. I’m not sure what i”m doing wrong. Any suggestions?
