Today’s post is short and sweet – eggzactly like the Easter cookies I’m sharing with you today. (Sorry, couldn’t resist).
The nice thing about these ones, is that they’re simple to make.
For most of them I did a ‘wet-on-wet’ icing technique, where I applied the bottom coat of icing and the the next layer right away.
This one dots using a #2 tip…
Marbling by dragging a toothpick through the white dots, towards the center…
Or marbling lines, like the large egg in the basket, below:
This last one was made by piping wet-on-dry icing lines…
They were made for the on-line magazine My Little Jedi. I was thrilled to be asked to contribute to the Autumn issue (Australian).

Those colours are so pretty, how do you achieve the pastel shade? Less icing dye or is it a specific shade of dye, if that makes sense. Beautiful as always!
Gasp! The colours are divine!!!

Hi I just made some of the cookies with the flowers where you drag a toothpick thru to marble them and I had trouble with the icing drying by the time I had piped all the dots for the flowers. I took about 15 seconds to pipe the dots. Should I just practice to be able to do it faster or is it an issue with my icing consistency? I did the 10 second test w/ the knife and it was about 7 seconds.
Hi @ dorothy: Yes, you’ve got it! You can try practicing to pipe faster, you can make the icing a bit runnier (but make sure you have a dry outline to hold the icing in before you flood it). Hope that helps!
