HoPpy Easter and Passover to you all. Didn’t this cookie basket come out so cute? I made a batch of Robins Egg Cookies to give to all of my neighbors today and thought you might like to see how I decorated them. Here is a video tutorial.
After I finished decorating the cookies, I let them dry overnight before wrapping them in cellophane bags. I handmade the labels on a whim late last night using one of my scrap pieces of watercolor paper. I used a fine tip sharpie marker to make faux calligraphy script saying ‘Hoppy Easter’ and tied the labels to the cookie bags with some natural twine. This morning I placed the basket by our elevator in the lobby hoping our neighbors wouldn’t be shy to take one home with them!
This video is SO great! Did you write the “Happy Easter” tags yourself? Cause that font is GORG.
thank you! yes i did, just used a good ol’ fine tipped sharpie marker.
I would like to know if you can just use water instead of vodka or can i use vanilla extract? Also do u wait for the frosting to dry before you put the speckles on or while it is still wet?
hi hannah! before adding the speckles, the royal icing must be completely dry. you can use vanilla extract or lemon extract as a substitute for the vodka, but i wouldn’t recommend water because it doesn’t dry fast.
