SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

It is so gorgeous outside, with flowers, trees with the brightest new green leaves… let’s try to ignore the fact that severe weather lurks on the horizon quite often in our neck of the woods. That’s Spring in Kansas for you… I share today three cookie designs. One created by Haniela, one of my own, inspired by cookies I see around the Pinterest universe. And finally, a super adorable painted bird that I managed to make thanks to the flawless teaching of Michelle, using her Sugarprism product.

Haniela shared a version of the blue cookie with white little flowers for Mother’s Day, and you can see her tutorial clicking here. I adapted for a larger plaque type cookie. You can see some of the steps below.

The design really pops once you do a loose outline with fine black pen…

As to the little birds, they were just flooded with pink, and once that set I added details with piping consistency icing. Little pink or white beads for the flowers and a little gold luster for the beak and top of the head closed the deal.

Closing this post, a little Sugarprism-painted bird, that I hyperventilated my way through… It never ceases to amaze me how Michelle can make someone who is unable to draw anything, grab a bunch of colors, a little fine brush and end up with a little cutie pie perched on a tree!

Next day I glued it with a bit of honey over a chocolate cookie, then added the bead border with Royal icing.
