Gone Buggy: LadyBug Cookies (Tutorial)

April 14, 2012 Pam Sneed

Time to get all BUGGY!

Lots of insect cookies coming your way.......

Let's start with the ladybug. Once of my favorites!

To make ladybug cookies, you'll need:

Outline the head and inside body with black.

Allow to dry for 10-20 minutes.

Flood black portion and allow to dry for a few hours.

I avoid putting anything next to black icing

until it is good and dry......overnight

would be best, but several hours should work OK.

Outline the red portion and allow it to dry for 10-20 minutes.

Flood with red icing and immediately

add black dots (wet on wet).

One of the wonders of the world......

why don't colors bleed when

you add them wet on wet???

I love these guys.

At first I wasn't too sure about the

watermelon-y color just by adding a little red gel.

But now that I see it with the red background......

I like it.

I reminds me of summer. :)
