The longer the spider legs the creepier they appears!
Halloween is probably my second favorite holiday. I love seeing the little kiddos’ costumes and
watching their eyes dance as they inspect their stash!
I was asked to create 30- 35 cookies for an elementary class’ Halloween party, I thought these spooky spider and web cookies would be just scary enough!
The techniques used for this project:
Flooding
Filigree
Wet on wet
Pressure piping
Royal icing transfers

The more or less black added to the Royal icing will determine the shade of grey
