Enchanted little plaque

I adore the little plaque cookies they are extremely versatile, and what better cake decorating technique than tone on tone brush embroidery? The finished design is elegantly suitable for hanging (except that it is edible). The plaque cookies are show stopping gift, bridal shower, wedding favor, graduation, or just the perfect cookie to say thank you.

I added pressure piping lilacs/wisteria flowers and dainty branches around the tone on tone brush embroidery to subtle bring your eye to the image. The border is a version of an “S” and reverse “S” scroll that resembles a coma to finish the sugar cookie plaque, without over powering the cookie while adding another entranced element.
