For my fifth and final blog post I decided to improvise a
little. Early in the book Edwards discusses marbling cookies and I just took
that idea and ran with it. Instead of
marbling on the cookie I did it directly in the bowl of tinted icing but
besides that I followed all her directions.
To
marble Edwards suggests to “drag a toothpick through the lines to create swirls
or zig zags” and I did just that (Edwards 18). Using white icing as the base of
the cookies I used light pink, dark pink, and yellow as accent colors. I used
plain vanilla sugar cookies as a base and dipped the cookies directly into the
icing. Instead of the more precise look Edwards debuts in her book, mixing the
colors directly into the icing gave more of a water color look which I actually
liked better. While the cookies were drying I left them on a rack so the excess
icing could drip down.
The next
day they were dried and tasted pretty good as well. I think out of all of the
cookies I had made for this project these turned out the best looking and most
aesthetically pleasing.
What colors would you guys do if you recreated this?
