It all started with a tutorial from Tunde Dugantsi, from 2023. Inspired by that vibe, I made some cookies of my own imagination. I simply adore cherry blossoms, maybe one day I can go to Japan and see the very best.
Cherry blossoms are delicate, elegant, and romantic. What’s not to like? Tunde captured their essence in a series of cookies that are not too complicated to make, starting with flooding, and piping the basic outlines of trees and branches.
The cherry blossoms are made with a drop flower method, using a tip like #129. I made way too many and now I find myself adding them to all sorts of cookies, which…. come to think of it, is not that bad, is it?
I find the candle design extremely clever! Something to make the set of cookies a little more unique.
It is important to take the pink tone away from the “bubblegum” vibe, so I like to use Dusty Rose as my starting point. If you do not have that in your arsenal of dyes, add a VERY small amount of brown to a regular pink and that should be fine.
Piping a cherry blossom with thick consistency icing is a nice technique to have under your belt.
The fan was my own design, as well as some turquoise cookies that profited from the excessive amount of cherry blossoms I made as Royal icing transfers…
