Hawaiian Shirt

These cookies pack a big wow factor, but they incorporate easy techniques for making wet-on-wet flowers. Using complementary colors of turquoise and orange boosts the summer vibe.

Bunny With a Floral Crown

This adorable spring bunny cookie allows you to practice making a pretty royal icing springtime palette, creating the flowers, and arranging them to enhance the overall design.

Mother’s Day Bouquet

This bouquet is versatile enough to make for a birthday or wedding shower. I recommend using medium-consistency royal icing when decorating florals; the sections are generally small enough to allow for quick flooding. It also creates a nice puffy petal!
