Brush Embroidery is a simple, yet elegant royal icing technique I use often in my cookie decorating. Brush embroidery is fairly simple to achieve, although appears complicated. There are several methods to add brush embroidery to your cookies or cakes. You can free hand a design directly onto the cookie, imprint a design by either scribing the design or creating and imprinting with a flower paste cutter (patchwork cutters work well too), or as I have done above use a piece of lace.
For this tutorial I have chosen to share how to use lace for the brush embroidery. I recently created a replica era piece sugar cookie clock for a bride. She wanted her guest to have an edible memory of her wedding.
