Tropical Flower Cookies!

I have Hawaii on the brain lately.
Tropical drinks, suntan lotion, gorgeous sunsets.....
so I made some tropical flowers to go with my daydreams!

When readers ask me how to start decorating cookies,
or what shape to start with,
I usually suggest these wet-on-wet Hibiscus flowers.

They only require two colors, come together super quickly,
and because there isn't really a 'right way' to do them,
a beginner can get really great results!

The basic instructions are the same as the wet-on-wet tutorial I posted for Fall Leaf Cookies.
(You can see that HERE)
Except, I used a sand dollar cookie cutter, not a leaf. That would have been weird.
You can find that cutter here...

The leaves....

are from the Wilton Set of 3 Leaf Cut Outs.
My all-time, favoritist, can't-live-without-them, leaf cutters!
You can find them here
Wilton Set of 3 Leaf Cut Outs You can also find them just about anywhere that has a Wilton Cake Decorating aisle (Michaels, Jo-Ann's, Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby etc.)

Happy Daydreams everybody! Now if I could only find a hammock.....
