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. Now you'll have two videos to watch. :)
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!
ReplyDeleteHow do you get the colors from the petals to not spread into the white of the background?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
