These cookies were inspired by an Easter card I found in my keepsake box. One of my favorite tools
for inspiration are cards I have kept (I have cards going back to high school).
I loved how the bunny is barely poking his head, checking the scenery!
You will be amazed how simple these cookies are to create.

You can pipe your toothpick roses days ahead..I keep a container of toothpick roses in a variety of colours. Anytime you have extra royal icing pipe roses, blossoms, sweet peas, and ranunculus.
The flowers will keep for a long time.
If you need a refresher on how to pipe the roses visit Royal Icing Rose Garden .
These cookies are fairly easy to decorate and are awesome for using your basic
royal icing skills!

Hi Bobbie,
I noticed with this icing, you don’t use the gum arabic and glucose. Any reason for the change? Would you still recommend the gum arabic and glucose for string work? Thanks again, Cynthia
Gum arabic and glucose is for detailed work, where I need extra strength and stretch, it’s not necessary for this design.
Thank you, makes sense!
Your welcome
