My niece Katie and I made these sweet bunny and chick Easter cookies the other day. We think they are quite lovely if we do say so ourselves. It was the first time we had decorated with Royal Icing and let me just say it is not as easy as it appears to be on the You Tube tutorials. We used my sugar cookie recipe that I posted on in December (remember my frosting fiasco) and as for the Royal Icing recipe we went to the Sweetopia website.
We had so much fun decorating these adorable confections that our next project will be nautical inspired cookies for the Fourth of July cookout hosted by Katie's mother who just happens to be my sister. Katie lives seconds from the ocean so lobsters and sailboats along with some patriotic flags seem to fit into the theme of Fourth of July and the ocean at the end of their street.
oh they look awesome! you are really good at decorating! martha stewart always talks about the royal icing...lol, i am sure i would not be very good at it. it is beautiful and smooth though!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! Don't you love Easter colors? And are those peanut M & M's scattered about? If so, I'm glad I'm not at your house...they are my absolute downfall!!!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I haven't tried Royal Icing yet, I do keep reading about it though. Every time I try to make cut out cookies it reminds me of how easy cupcakes are to make:@) Happy Easter Weekend:@)
ReplyDeletedarling cookies! bet they taste yummy... what a good aunt you are - making memories to last a lifetime! looking forward to july 4th cookies! happy easter! -k.
ReplyDeletethey look totally sweet... i'm useless at all forms of icing, so the fact that you got this far is very impressive x
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! Looks to me like you didn't have problems icing them at all. :)
ReplyDeleteLucky Katie!! and your cookies look wonderful. I found that frosting to be difficult too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Yummy looking, too. Pass the plate, please~!
ReplyDeleteThey looks wonderful. I think the fourth of July ones will be fun too. I do love baking. I hope you have a wonderful Easter too.
ReplyDeleteLove your biscuits... they look really cute!

Oh gosh those look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies are beautiful! Can't wait to see what you do for the 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Easter!
Looks yummy ! Have a wonderful Easter.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on those! I've never worked with royal icing before either. I've just stumbled upon your blog today and have enjoyed my visit. My husband and I have just relocated to NH from Louisiana so it's nice to find some other New England bloggers. I'm your newest follower and look forward to getting to know you. Have a great weekend, Candace
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! What a great Easter cookie basket you'll have! Bet it was fun to spend time with your niece! Love how you're already moving on to the 4th of July celebration!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, ADORABLE! Great job on the sweet cookies. Susan
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I have realized that in my LARGE collection of cookie cutters, I do not have chicks or rabbits!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Great job Katie & Susan! They look beautiful. I think you should make some for Memorial, Mother's and Flag day! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are so sweet! Happy Easter to you all. x
ReplyDeleteThose cookies are very cute. I have tried in vain for years to make cut out sugar cookies. I can never get them off of the pan without breaking parts of them off let alone decorating them. And Royal Icing...I've never gotten that far! I have given up. Yours are VERY cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to make these with your niece, hope you are having a lovely Easter.
ReplyDeleteOh Susan I hoped you would post this pic! You told me about your cookies and let me say they're so beautiful!! Happy Easter to you and all your family!
ReplyDeletePS Good job Katie!! LOL
You are an artist! These are just beautiful... as is all your food! I couldn't dream of eating one of these chefs d'oeuvres!
ReplyDeleteThey look yummy. Hope you have a wonderful Easter.
ReplyDeleteoh they are so sweet. I am with you on royal icing I have tried several times with not good results.

ReplyDeletethey look so nice and gave me a rumble in the tum, I'm trying not to do sweets over Easter ( silly time to try and cut out sugar I know). Thanks for all your lovely comments by the way, I'm still trying to find my way around this blogging thing.
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look professionally done! WOW. And I bet they tasted even better than they look!
