Happy Friday! Can't wait for this week to be over. I haven't baked cakes in 2 weeks and I still get up at 4 AM every day and can't sleep pass that time. This weekend I am planning on a few naps with the kids, the weather is certainly allowing some nap time and I better catch up some because next week I have a lot of cake order to fulfill.
For this month's tutorial for The Cookie Cutter Company I gave it a try painting on cookies, I am not that talented with brushes, but I actually enjoyed it and the cookies turned out cute. I loved this project, I think is a great idea to have it with kids and let their imaginations fly and paint anything they want. For sure this activity will go in my to do list for Christmas vacation.
I used a Vintage Style Thanksgiving Cookie Cutter set, this cutters might look odd to cut cookies with but don’t be intimidated by the style of the
cutter at all.
I used a well chilled cookie dough, I dipped the cutters in
flour before cutting the cookies and I didn't have any issues at all.
Now let's gather supplies and start painting away
Vintage Style Thanksgiving
Cookie Cutter set
Americolor white royal
icing
Tip #2, disposable bag and
coupler
Lemon extract and a mix of small brushes
Americolor food coloring
brown, mint green and yellow
Gold luster dust
Disposable containers to
mix the colors
Let's beging with a few pointers for watercolor painting on cookies:
-Most people mix the food
color with water , I like to use a small amount of lemon extract and paint
without being worried about destroying the cookie surface.
Cookies and water
are not really like best friends and to be honest, I tried with water and the royal icing started looking funny
-Use a good mix of small
brushes, they can be flat, round, thin or thick brushes. This gives the cookie a different
texture.
-Play with colors. Add
a few drops of lemon extract and just one of food color to get a pastel color,
mix other colors to create a blended look, add more food coloring than lemon extract and you will get a great dark color.
-Use the tip of the brush
to create dots, make big or small strokes, outline the cookies with gold or
silver for extra details. The
possibilities are endless and there is no way for mistakes because you pretty
much can go wrong with these cookies. Meaning if I can do it, so can you!
Now let's pain and have some fun!
Decorating the cookies:
Add a few drops of lemon
extract to the disposable containers and a few drops of the colors of your
choice.
Mix the colors and paint
away! Yes, that easy!
Keep some paper tower
handy to clean your brush and control the intensity of the color before
painting on the cookie.
Outline and flood your cookies
Make sure you let your cookies dry over night, they have to be completely dry before you paint on them.
Acorn Cookies
Dip your brush in the
brown paint and paint the stalk and the cupule of the acorn making strokes in
different directions
Then paint the nut
I love adding gold to
cookies, this particular luster dust is called “Diamond Gold” and I just love
it!
Turkey and Fall leaves Cookies
Here is a pictorial in the color order I painted the turkey and the Fall leaves.
Have you try painting on cookies?
