If you don’t know what Sugarprism is all about, visit this post from July last year. Michelle offers online classes for free almost on a monthly basis, and I always try to join because I learn so much from her. I share today cookies made in two of her recent tutorials, all with a Spring-Easter feel, perfect for the season. The Peekaboo Chick was the most challenging, I still cannot believe I made it, as I cannot draw to save my life.

The composite picture below shows the main stages. Michelle explains exactly what to do, where to start each line, how to angle it, how to hold the brush, and the design slowly comes to life…
It blows my mind how an artist can see the drawing in all its many parts. I have major problems with spacial orientation of things. For instance, I cannot read a map, I am unable to “transfer” the map to my surroundings. All those things they place in stores or streets with the – “You are here” – label… they are of no help to me. This handicap translates into issues if I have to draw things by looking at an image. The fact that I can do it with Michelle’s instructions still amazes me. Huge thank you to her!
Moving on, a trio from her tutorial “Bunnies Gone Wild”… Three departures on the bunny motif to make a zebra, a cheetah, and a giraffe pattern. Compared to the peekaboo cookie, those were quite a bit easier. You almost get into a zen-mood painting each pattern. I loved them all!
All cookies started from a white background, the zebra was ready to paint, and the other two got a little background color using very diluted Sugarprism acrylic color. Once that sits for a while, the painting of patterns on top can begin…
These cookies take a little time to paint, but mastering the patterns is a nice skill to have. As Michelle pointed out during the class, you can use the patterns in so many different cookies – imagine swimming suit cookies for the summer, dresses, hats, handbags… I will definitely be playing with them… and of course, let’s not forget…macarons!
Michelle, thank you so much for the tutorials!
Already revving my engines for the next…
