I finished decorating my bee sugar cookies today and I'm pleased with how they turned out. I especially like how the brushed embroidery technique added a lacy look to the wings.
Initially I had planned on using a darker yellow for the body of the bee but decided to use a softer hue to better compliment the wing color.
I also decided to make some simple brushed embroidery flower cookies to go with the bees. I think they look sweet together.
Here's how to make them:
Bake a batch of bee cookies. |
Outline and flood the wings. Let this completely dry before moving onto the next step. |
Outline the wing and use your square tip brush to gently pull the icing inward. Work around the whole wing. |
It will look like this. |
With your black icing make three stripes and two dots for the eyes. | Looking good! |
Here's a close up of the easy brushed embroidery flower cookies I made at the last minute. Be sure that your base coat is completely dry before attempting brushed embroidery. |
Keep working until you are done. I like to put on some music and enjoy the process. Please don't stress out — Just have fun. |
After the cookies are completely dry they can be packaged for giving. |
