Lemonade and More Cookie Collection

I receive tons of joy when I decorate cookies......it doesn't really matter what kind.

But occasionally a cookie theme gives me extra pleasure.

This Lemonade and More Cookie Collection definitely fits into that special category.

The theme itself, along with the color scheme was extra fun!!

Every time I look at these cookies, I smile. :)

Lemonade.....a cool refreshing drink on hot summer days. :)

Since I hand-cut both of these lemonade cookie shapes.....I don't have an exact cutter to link here.

However, I wanted to share the technique I used to get the "glass" effect.

Outline and flood the cookie with yellow 10-second glaze to "fill" the glass with "lemonade".

Be sure to leave space around the edges to later outline with white.

After the yellow has dried for about 1 hour, add a white outline with a #4 round tip.

(see pic below)

Once the glaze has crusted (approximately 2 hours......or 1 hour on low in a food dehydrator)

use mini cutters shaped like ice cubes and/or lemon slices 

and cut into the yellow glaze as shown.

 Add a white 10-second glaze outline to the lemon slices with a PME 1.5 tip.

Then allow the cookies to dry overnight.

The next day, paint the ice cubes with a thin mixture of

Americolor Bright White gel and almond extract.

If you have straws on your glass cookies, you can use a food color marker to add stripes.

Finally, cover the entire glass (not the straw) with Americolor Pearl Sheen airbrush  color.
