April Showers Decorated Cookie Collection

April Showers bring May Flowers......so now you know my agenda for this spring.

I love a rainy day.......it's a snuggly, read-a-book kind-of-day. And the sound of rain falling is so calming and soothing. It seems perfect to celebrate all those spring showers in a cookie set.

 

Rainbow Decorated Cookie (Tutorial)

April showers bring May flowers.......but they also bring rainbows.

I love how whenever we see a rainbow......we are captivated. They truly are a gift from God.

The only drawback to making rainbow cookies is that you have to mix up lots of colors of icing. Thankfully, I had many of these left over from my spring palette. 

It's not necessary to have a specific rainbow cookie cutter. Just use a plain oval cutter with a corresponding smaller oval to cut out the inside of the rainbow. (see photo below)

After the cookies are baked and cooled, start adding the colored lines of glaze from outside of the rainbow to the inside. Pipe about 3-4 lines of each color before moving to the next color. This can be done wet-on-wet.
(For a guide on what order to place the colors, google rainbows and you'll see a pattern.)

 

Boxes Filled With Spring.......Cookies, that is




Spring cookies all decked out in pretty boxes
with ribbon and tags. 

These make wonderful gifts.

That's just what I used them for.




I don't have a source for these particular boxes......
with several of us to get just the right boxes
for cookies! Stay tuned......

April Showers Bring COOKIES!

With Show Me Your Cookie's theme being April Showers.....
I went all out.

I wanted to do a huge set of cookies on everything
I could think of related to RAIN!




And remember when I told you that 
it was raining every time I went to
photo these cookies?...

Guess what it was doing earlier when I started writing this post?


Yep.....it was RAINING! 

And then.....about 30 minutes ago......
it was a gully washer.
 

(My 18 year old had never heard of gully washer before.
Am I getting old or what?!)

I think it is awesome how real rain
has surrounded my rain-themed cookies. :)

I had loads and loads of fun making these cookies.
And then I was able to give them to 
some of my bestie cookie friends last weekend.
I'll show you how I boxed them up in a future post.

What until you see the tutorial
on how I made these wellies (rain boots)!




Here's the rain gear we need for a day like today.....



Tutorials and boxed sets coming soon...
