For the Love of Cookies

HAPPY 23rd ANNIVERSARY TO ME AND MY FOREVER HUSBAND!

February is over but love is not. Truth is, I ran out of time to share all the heart-shaped cookies that materialized in my kitchen in the past few weeks, so sit back and get some ideas for romance in cookie shape. Below each design just a few details of how they were made.

THE CLASSICS

Red, pink and white. Simple. Wet-on-wet, some with a modern, playful twist.

GOLD

Flooded dark brown, stencil + air-brush gold. Or naked cookie painted with luster gold + vodka.

PINK AND GOLD

Flooded pink, with brush embroidery edge, stencil + air-brush gold and fondant detail.

SUPER PINK

Simple solid flooding, or minimal icing with piping consistency details.

GOLFER’S LOVE

Flooded in white, air-brushed in green and blue, fondant detail.

MARLYN’S BEACH LOVE

From a recent tutorial (click here to watch it), a few details of the design after the picture.

Sand detail first, covered with gold sanding sugar. Three colors of blue + brush embroidery and fondant detail.

AMBER’S BLUE HEARTS

Simple flooding in two colors, brush embroidery with lighter blue. For tutorial, click here.

For these cookies I used strawberry-flavored cookie dough, with a touch of red dye.

That’s all for now, friends! As you may have noticed, I tend to make heart-shaped cookies often, so you won’t have to wait until February to see more… I hope you found something to inspire you when that romantic mood sets in…
