April Showers Cookies

I am back to practicing decorating sugar cookies and feeling a slight cookie redemption coming on after posting those wackadoodle goatlambs a few days ago.

I ain’t bragging or anything. Just saying the cringe factor was way less when I finished these.

‘Cept please don’t look too closely at the polkadots on the umbrellas.

They are completely uneven. To compensate, I coated them with disco dust.

I coated all the cookies with disco dust.

Every cloud needs a silver lining.

It’s a compulsion of mine and disco dust makes everything better.

Everything.

Someone needs to put some disco dust on Khadafy.

This time I used Sweetopia’s sugar cookie and royal icing recipes. Both are winners. Her cookies are works of art. If you have not visited, I highly recommend her site not only to ogle her gorgeous creations but she also shares kick ass decorating tutorials.

Here’s what I used on Mine.

A few dabs of Wilton’s black gel color into the icing to get the gray color/Silver disco dust

Wilton’s Hyacinyth Blue gel color Blue Topaz disco dust Pearl white luster dust

Wilton’s Teal color gel/teal disco dust Wilton’s Violet color gel/lavender disco dust Wilton’s Kelly Green color gel/apple green disco dust

Sweetopia’s royal icing came out very white but I squeezed a few drops of Wilton’s White White in anyway.

For a great video tutorial on how to create the polkadots, check out this post on University of Cookie.
