The process isn't hard but it does take some time so these probably aren't the best cookies to make if you have to make a lot. But for a single batch, it's a fun afternoon art project.
Here's how I made them:
Put all of the icings into pastry bags fitted with #2 tips except for the brown. Leave that on a plate or bowl covered with plastic wrap. |
First outline and fill your cookie with the cream colored icing. Then add drops of light pink and top those with some squiggles of red. |
Use your scribe tool (you could also use a skewer or toothpick) and swirl the red into the pink to make it look like a rose. |
Add drops of yellow and blue/green for leaves. |
Draw through the dots with your scribe tool to lengthen them to a point to shape leaves. |
Adding highlights to another cookie. |
Getting ready to make a single rose. |
Adding the red icing. |
The finished rose. |
After the cookies dry, you might want to add a border. For this pearl border I used piping consistency royal icing and a #3 tip. |
A leaf tip also makes a nice border. |
When you complete your border you might need to use your scribe tool to knock down the last point. |
Framed works of art! |
