Take-A-Peek Tuesday! Easter Cookie Tutorial!

It's Take-A-Peek Tuesday!
This week I've got a peek at the decorating process for you!
Remember those little teeny tiny bunny bottoms?

Wanna make some of your own?
Here you go!
These are quite possibly the easiest cookies ever.
I used:
1. White royal icing, both piping and flood consistency 2. Pink royal icing, 20-second consistency 3. White Sparkling Sugar

Use your favorite sugar cookie recipe (you can find mine HERE) and cut out bunny head shaped cookies.  

Any bunny head will do, just make sure it has great ears.






Then....turn it upside-down.

See, the ears are now the feet!

Outline the ears/feet, then the body. I used a number 3 tip, but use what you're comfortable with.

This is a great example of a cookie that you don't need a tip for. You could put the icing into a pastry bag or plastic baggy and just snip off the very tip.

Fill the body with flood icing and let that dry at least an hour.

Then fill in the feet with the same icing.

Let this dry for a few hours.

For the pads of the feet and toes I use a squeeze bottle filled with 20 second icing.

The feet are just an oval in the middle and three little dots for toes.

aaaaaaand.....more drying time.

It needs to dry all the way so you don't smudge

 your pretty bunny pedicure with the sugar.

The key to fluffy tails is Sparkling Sugar instead of Sanding Sugar.

See?  Really big....like kosher salt, but sweet.

Use your white piping icing and pipe a half a sphere for the tail 

and immediately cover all the wet icing with sparkling sugar.

Shake off the excess and let them dry!

(these bunnies were up much to late, it was getting dark!)

Little tiny bunny tushies!!
You can make great big ones too if you want... I won't tell.
