The sugar cookie frame was inspired by extravagant tropical Hawaiian gardens!

Hand painting on cookies/cakes (either covered in fondant or royal icing) are edible works of art. You can choose to paint a simple design or ornately elegant complex wedding flowers. Almost any design is stunning to look at. Like most cake decorating techniques, the only limitation is your imagination. Hand painting easily complements both traditions cake decorating method and new trending ones. By adding an over piped border to the cookie we changed the flowing from modern to almost heirloom.

The inspiration  for the Bromeliad (a tropical Hawaiian flower) originated from a post card I brought years ago when visit Hawaii ( I collect post cards). The painted centre became the inspiration for fleur de lis over piping.

You will see how fun this design is to re create in our video tutorial!

Royal Icing Covered Cookie:

If you choose to cover the cookie in royal icing, you will need to wait until the icing is completely dry (at least 24 hours from covering).

Fondant Covered Cookie:

If you chose covering the cookie with fondant you will need to wait 4 hours to firm up.

The front cookie is covered with fondant and the back cookie is covered with royal icing.

In order to paint the Bromeliad’s leaves, piping gel is necessary.  The gel works like a painting medium without the colours becoming muddy.

FYI: Royal icing is a slicker canvas, your brush is going to slide faster than on fondant.
