butterfly cookies

My little Cinderella girl is a girly girl and loves butterflies and flowers.  When she saw that her brother and sister were getting cakes and cookies for their birthdays she immediately said that she wanted some cookies too.  I figured why not, one more opportunity for me to practice cookie decorating.  I figured I was already doing 3 different cookies that day, why not add a 4th. 

Here's what you'll need

Piping icing (I used white)
Flooding icing (I used pink)

 

Put dots down the middle for the body of the butterfly

 

Outline the butterfly and separate the wings.

 

 

Fill in the butterfly with the flooding icing

 

I decorated the butterfly in 2 different ways.

 

 

The first with dots

 

 

The second with lines.

 

Enjoy!

Hockey puck cookies

 

My husband and son are HUGE hockey fans.  My husband and son recently went to an outdoor hockey game.  When they returned my son decided to re-enact the entire game for me.  Right down to the hockey players taking off their skate guards as they were getting ready to go onto the ice.  Of course, we had to have some hockey cookies to help celebrate Wildman's birthday! 

 

My husband took the camera to work with him on the day I was decorating the cookies so I wasn't able to get pictures of the decorating process.   

 

Here's what you'll need: 

 

Black 10 second royal icing

Piping icing (the colors depend on your favorite team)

 

Luckily, my son was happy with the simplified version of his favorite hockey teams logo.  The current logo fun to do for one cookie, but not several.

 

Enjoy!

Spiderman cookies

 My son badly wanted me to make him some spiderman cookies for his birthday.  I looked online for some spiderman cookie tutorials and I found a tutorial done by sweetsugarbelle.  As soon as I saw her tutorial I knew I had to make them. 

Here's what you'll need:
Egg shaped cookie cutter
Your favorite sugar cookie recipe
black piping icing
piping bags
Wilton #5 tip
Wilton #2 tip
White 20 second icing
Red flooding icing
Black piping icing

 

I found a coloring picture of Spiderman online, printed it out and cut out the eyes so I could use it as a stencil.  I figured I was meant to make these cookies because the coloring page I found was the exact same size as my egg shaped cookies.  How perfect is that!  Coming from someone who is not at all a computer person I was pretty pleased.

 

Using the Spiderman stencil and a black food coloring marker I drew on the eyes.

I drew on the eyes with a Wilton #5 tip and black piping icing.  I'm still learning about the consistency of royal icing and I made the black a little too thin for my taste.

 

Let the black icing harden and outline and flood with red royal icing.

 

 

While the red icing is still wet pipe on the lines with the black piping icing.  I split the face into 8 different sections.  Almost like cutting a pizza.  I then connected them with the lines inbetween.

 

 

Fill in with white 20 second icing.

 

I hope you enjoy these as much as my little boy did!

 

 

Enjoy!
