Inconsistent outlines: Starting with wavy outlines help to give florals a naturally effortless finish. Plus they are fun and forgiving to pipe!
Brushed layers: Layering royal icing and brushing thin with a damp paintbrush gives instant texture and dimension (I’m using @thesugarart brush set).
Painted details: Edible paint truly transforms the look of the cookie and is the quickest and easiest step thanks to my favorite @thesugarart powdered colors. I like to mix the color with water, but @thesugarart also makes a great Color Solution for mixing if you are nervous about over-saturating your icing surface. For this Iris cookie I used the color English Lavender for the highlights (I buffed in a small dot of color on the high points with a damp brush) and I used the color Mona Lisa for the shadows and detail work (to define the border, I outlined with the color and then used a damp brush to pull and blend the color). For the stems my go-to green is the color Fern and my favorite yellow color is Golden Leaf. I always end with a splatter of loose white color, trust me, it’s magic✨
Edible pollen: The perfect finishing touch is a little dry dust of @thesugarart Golden Leaf around the center. The application works best if your cookie is still tacky from painting.
