The date is quickly approaching, so here are some ideas to inspire your cookie decorating…

.

Starting with hearts and shamrocks…

Very easy wet-on-wet, with a border that is also pretty straightforward, just thick icing with a small petal icing tip (101 or 102 will work, depending on the size of your cookie). When you pull the shape with a needle, make the two sides first, going in, the pull the top through the center so that you can make a nice little stem.

My favorite design of this series might be the adaptation from last post, in which I followed Tunde for a White on White design.

A little more involved, but I think this basic concept can be used in countless ways…

.

A few more designs to bring a nice set together, all pretty simple.


The cauldron is almost minimalist, just a central shamrock made as a Royal icing transfer, and gold coins that are store-bought sprinkles. Even simpler, the design below, using one of my favorite cookie shapes.

And of course, how could I skip making some shamrock-shaped cookies?

That’s all for now, friends! I will probably make a few more St Patrick cookies, but you can also go back in time and get more inspiration…

    Well, these may be ‘simple’ as far as you are concerned but they also happen to be ‘nice’ . . . tho’ I don’t think I have ever seen ‘heffalumps’ in Ireland! Nearly managed to marry an ‘Oirishman’ . . . ‘bog-Oirish’ at that a few decades back . . . would really have cherished these for St Paddy’s Day . . . 🙂 !
