Yellow Submarine Cookies

 

My Yellow Submarine Cookies are done and ready to be served at the upcoming Beatles Concert to benefit The Wednesday Community Meal.

I had to make a lot for the event so I smartly decided to keep the design simple. 

It took two days to make them. One to bake, outline and flood coat the cookies with yellow icing and one to add the details after the flood coat dried. I think they're pretty cute and I hope the Saturday's concert goers agree.

Here's how to make them.

With medium consistency yellow icing and a #1 tip, outline the cookies. Let the outline dry for 15 minutes before moving onto the next step.

With flood consistency yellow icing and a #2 tip, fill in the cookie. Use a skewer to help evenly distribute the icing and give the cookie a gentle shake to help the icing settle.

Let the flood coats dry completely before moving onto the next step. This takes overnight.

With medium consistency red icing and a #2 tip, add two line details.

Finally, add bright blue dots using medium consistency royal icing and a #2 tip. Wait for the royal icing to dry completely before serving or packaging.

 

We All Want To Eat Yellow Submarines!

I've decided to make Yellow Submarine Sugar Cookies to serve at the upcoming Beatles Concert to support feeding the hungry in our community. This is going to be fun!

I have my submarine cookie cutter and am excited to get to work.

Stay tuned...
