Hey sweet peeps, Easter is coming and I've been thinking of new Easter egg designs that has not been done before, so this is my modern spin of Easter eggs as my daughter loves anything 'geometrics' right now...and she told me that this is "on trend" LOL 😂😜

Here is the finished result of the Geometric Easter Egg decorated cookies

My video tutorial will also show you how to make royal icing flowers, which I know some of you have been asking to see a tutorial for. So if you have been wanting to learn how to make the royal icing flowers like the ones on this Geometric Eggs then I hope this video tutorial is useful for you 😉👍💖

To make the royal icing flowers, you will need a flower nail and cut out baking paper or parchment paper, like this one...

Use a little bit of double sided tape to stick the baking paper on top - please watch the video to see all the detailed instructions :)

You will also need Piping Tip# 101 (roses tip) - see photo below, and pipe the icing with the thicker/wider ends on the center of the flower nail.

You will be able to see the step by step tutorial on my video below (scroll down at the bottom of this post), let me show you what the flowers look after like in the photos for a clearer view :)

When they have dried overnight I usually store all my royal icing flowers in my special container - see picture below. I might be a bit OCD but I really like them organised into their own little space :)

So if you want to know how to create these gorgeous geometric eggs for Easter, please watch the detailed step by step video tutorial below

Hope this video is helpful and will encourage you to create your own decorated Easter egg cookies this Easter holiday :)

Hey sweet peeps, this is PART 2 of the Disney Princesses cookie video tutorial series.
In this video we have Aurora (Sleeping beauty), Belle & Princess Leia

They are in Tsum Tsum style/design, if you are not familiar with what 'Tsum Tsum' are I would suggest that you do a quick google search and you'll find a whole bunch of stackable toys based on all sorts of different characters.

I just love that these princesses are amazing role models for our girls. They teach young girls great characteristics and values to have 💕

I thought I would share what these lovely ladies have taught us from their stories 💖💙💜

Belle: “People think I’m odd, so I know how it feels to be different.” The most important lesson we learn from Belle is never judge a book by its cover 💛

Aurora: Sleeping beauty teaches girls to dream and that love is the most powerful force in the world 💜

Princess Leia: She is strong, brave, intelligent, and a great leader. She also does her best to help others even at great personal risk. Everyone around her looks to her for strength and leadership 💗

If you like these Tsum Tsum Princess, here is the video tutorial on how to make them:

This is what Mickey will look like when you finished hand-drawing and colouring him, isn't he adorable? 😊 Ohh I just have to add that it has taken all my willpower to not fill in all the gaps in the colouring process! LOL 😂

Hey sweet peeps, firstly i want to apology for the lack of update on this blog as I realised that it has been sadly neglected this year. So I thought i would do a quick update here on what we have been up to :)

We have been focusing on creating video tutorial this year and we are proud to say that we finally launched our YouTube channel! Yay!! *happy dance*

There has been a lot of behind the scene preparation work to get our channel off the ground, and we are really happy to say that it is growing steadily and our follower numbers are increasing :)

Because of the time that it takes to create and edit the video tutorials, we are not able to continue to do both photo tutorials here as well as video tutorials at the same time.....i really wish we can do both, but the reality is that we just don't have enough time in our day to fit in everything that we would like to do.
​We are constantly juggling everything and achieving that balance is tricky to say the least! :)

At the end of the day we have to decide on what we want to do going forward, and we have decided to continue creating video tutorials as really enjoyed creating them and we feel that we can people can learn more clearly by watching our videos than from our photo tutorials.

So from now on, we will start sharing our video tutorials here as well as showing you what the cookies will look like in a photo.

Hope you will learn a lot from our videos and feel free to come visit us in our other social networks via Instagram, Facebook or YouTube.

Here is our most recent video tutorial on how to make Sesame Street decorated cookies.

Enjoy & happy decorating!

xoxo
​Natalia & Claudia
​

We are aware that this blog have been sadly neglected for the past few months. So we are making the effort to give you the latest update :) These are the latest cookies we made for Claudia's birthday and she has specifically requested a 'Boho theme' cookies, so we had so much fund creating these for her :)

We didn't get a chance to take photo tutorial for all the cookie designs but we choose a select few to show you here. If you would rather see a video tutorial for the majority of these boho cookies design please check out our Instagram account HERE.

Okay the first photo tutorial is for the dream catcher. We didn't have a specific dream catcher cookie cutter so in this case we used a sandal/flip-flop cutter.

Step 1: Flood the base of the cookie with white flood icing.

Step 2: Draw a circle on the top area with an edible marker and mark off the areas for the inside of the circle as well as for the feathers.

Step 3: With an outline consistency brown icing and a small piping tip ( we used PME tip 1 for this) pipe the inside of the circle first - see the first picture below.

Step 4: Use the same brown icing to pipe the squiggly outer section of the dream catcher.

Step 5: Using the same brown icing pipe the bottom park where the feathers are going to be filled.

Step 6: Use an outline consistency icing with different pastel colours add the feathers in small lines resembling an arrow  and also use a green outline consistency icing to make the green leaf on each side of the dream catcher - see picture below.

Step 7: Add a royal icing roses into the middle of the leaf and with gold edible dust (we used Rolkem Super gold for this) dust the yellow part to make the gold accent - see picture below.

If you would rather like to see video tutorial so can clearly see the step by step details on how to make this dream catcher, you can view it HERE.

Here is what they all look like when we finished decorating with matching arrow cookies :)

Next one is the flower teepee cookies. We love this design so much as they turned out so pretty :)
Here is a simple photo tutorial on how to make them:

Step 1: With medium consistency peach colour icing fill the triangle area and fill the entrance of the tepee with a cream colour icing - see the first picture below.

Step 2: Use an edible marker to make off the area for the teepee outline - see the middle picture below.

Step 3: Use an outline consistency brown icing to pipe the outline of the teepee (see last picture below) and use an outline consistency cream icing to create the cream dotted area and hearts at the bottom of the teepee.

Step 4: add royal transfer rose and a couple of fondant flowers on top and then add the green leaves by piping then on the sides of the flowers using PME tip 1.5

If you would like to see a video tutorial on how to make this step by step, you can view it HERE.

If you like our pretty flower teepee design, you can now purchase the cookie cutters at Say it with sweetness online shop - link to Kate's shop HERE.

The next one is a quick ohoto tutorial on our lace teepee.

Step 1: Start off the same way as our flower teepee, with medium consistency blue colour icing fill the triangle area and fill the entrance of the tepee with a cream colour icing - see the first picture below.

Step 2: Use an edible marker to make off the area for the teepee outline - see the middle picture below.

Step 3: Use an outline consistency blue icing to pipe the outline of the teepee (see last picture below) and then attach the sugar lace on top of the teepee using either an edible glue or in our case we used a clear corn syrup.

Step 4: add the royal icing roses at the bottom of the teepee as well as the three tiny fondant flowers on top of the teepee - see last picture below.

If you would like to see a step by step video tutorial on how to make this, you can view it HERE.

If you like our pretty lace teepee design, you can now purchase the cookie cutters at Say it with sweetness online shop - link to Kate's shop HERE.

Here is what they both looked like after we finished decorating them :)

We didn't get a chance to take any photo tutorial for the cookie with the writing but we'll show you a closer look at them, as we really love all the gold accent and writing in this set :)

Okay so there you go,hope you enjoyed seeing all this tutorial. If you would like to see a wider range of video tutorials on these cookies please make sure to visit our Instagram account - Cookielicious NZ.

Have a great week everyone! ;-)

Yesterday was the last day of school for this term and Logan made a special request to say thank you to his class teacher. He wants me to make a small cookie gift to give to his teacher as he has really enjoyed having her as his class teacher this year :)

His request was pretty last minute, but because it was so sweet and thoughtful, I managed to squeezed in his request and finished the cookies the day before yesterday.

He was really happy and proudly brought these cookies to school for his teacher yesterday :)

I love decorating the apple with banner, the icing was so puffy and shiny when they were wet :P
I have taken the step by step photos below.

Step 1: With medium consistency red icing, fill the top and bottom part of the apple and while the icing is still wet, use a white medium consistency icing to make polkadots, let it dry.

Step 2: Fill the middle area with white medium consistency icing - see the second picture below, and let it dry for 5-10mins.

Step 3: Continue to fill the rest of the white banner on each side with the same white icing, and let it dry
Step 4: With outline consistency white icing outline the outter sides of the banners to give it more dimension. It also makes the banner popped a bit :)
Step 5: With black outline consistency icing, write the teacher's name in the middle of the banner.

For the pencil, it was pretty straight forward:

Step 1: Use cream colour medium consistency icing to fill the top of the pencil, and use a grey colour medium consistency icing to fill the area between the body of the pencil and the eraser - see the first picture on the far left side below.

Step 2: Fill the body of the pencil with yellow medium consistency icing and with the same 'wet on wet' technique like the apple, dotted white medium consistency icing all around the yellow icing while the yellow icing is still wet.

Step 3: Fill the eraser part with pink medium consistency icing.

Step 4: Use a black edible pen to colour in the tip of the pencil, and with an outline consistency grey icing put the squiggle lines in the grey part of the pencil.

Step 5: Lastly, pipe the 'thank you' writing in the middle with black outline consistency icing.

Logan happily report that the gift was very well received and his teacher was delighted with his sweet and thoughtful gift. I hope she likes the taste of the cookie too :) I was told that she will save some to enjoy during the school holidays ;-)

So happy that daylight savings have started and we can officially say that Spring is here :)
To celebrate the arrival of Spring we have created daffodil cookies and we will share how to create these gorgeous flowers, using an alternative cutter as we dont have an actual daffodil cookie cutter.

Here are the finished daffodil cookies :)

Because we don't have a daffodil cutter we used a shooting star cutter to create the cookies :)

To begin decorating the daffodil cookies, here is the step by step with picture tutorial"
Step 1: Start with flooding the entire cookie with light blue icing in medium consistency, let it dry.

Step 2: Mark the areas for the daffodils with edible food marker.

Step 3: Use medium consistency yellow icing and fill the petals of the daffodils, then fill the middle part of the daffodil with an orange colour icing and let it dry.

Step 4: Next, we use a stiff consistency icing to create the green stem and the grass and let it dry.

Step 5: Last step, once the green icing is dry, add the little flowers all around the grass and dust a little bit of green lustre dust around the grass area to give some subtle shading and a bit more dimension between the blue sky and the grass area - see picture below.

Here is the picture of the finished cookie in a platter :)

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial, Happy Spring everyone :)

We decided to do something a little different for Father's Day this year. We made our first 3D cookie, a toolbox cookie along with all the tools of the trade, these were made for my father in law as he is a bit of a handyman around the house.

This was inspired by Sweetopia's blog post tutorial, we downloaded the template and bought the tools cookie cutters from eBay. This is what we ended up with :)

I'm not sure if this is because its our first time creating a 3D cookie, we felt that it was quite fiddly to make and the big pieces that make up the toolbox was quite large so they were pretty heavy and pretty hard to put icing on such a large area.

We downloaded the template for the toolbox from Sweetopia's blog post, HERE.

We them with made our usual honey cookies, and these are the pieces for the toolbox

We didn't have to put icing at the bottom piece so we put the icing on the side pieces only. Because they are such a large area, its best to outline with #3 piping tip and let it dry slightly for about 5-10mins and then flood the area with red icing. Let it dry overnight. I would highly recommend to NOT move the pieces until they are completely dry to avoid the icing to crack, as they are quite heavy pieces.

Here is the four sides after the icing are completely dry and ready to assemble. We have to apply generous outline consistency icing on each side as a glue to put them together.

Next we created the tools to put inside the toolbox. We have baked the tools cookies in shapes of the hammers, pliers, spanners, screwdrivers, handsaw, and lastly a drill :)

We didn't get a chance to take progress photos of all the tool, but we did take a select few. The first one is for the hammer.

Step 1: Use yellow medium consistency icing to create the handle
Step 2: then add the grey icing for the top part of the hammer and let it dry for a few minutes
Step 3: Outline the hammer and add the thick part of the hammer with more flood icing.

Next is the screwdriver, its very simple and easy as we only need to do 2 parts.
Step 1: Use medium consistency blue icing to flood the handle.
Step 2: Use grey medium consistency icing to add the top part of the screwdriver & let it dry.

The last tool we did was the pliers cookies.
Step 1: Use medium consistency icing to create the handle
Step 2: Do the alternate part of the pliers with grey medium consistency icing - see picture below
Step 3: Flood the reminder of the area with the same grey icing and let it dry, then add the middle pin with the same grey icing in the middle - see picture below.

Here are all the tools together after they have been completed and all decorated :)

Hope that helps explain the process a little bit. Sorry we didn't get a chance to take progress photos of all the tools as we had quite a limited amount of time this time to create these. The good news is that you can always go to Sweetopia's blog for more in-depth and detail explanation on how to create these tools and toolbox.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there :)

A special request from my dear cousin as she told me that my lovely niece loves mermaids :)
So we set out to create a special 'under the sea mermaid' set for her. This is what we came up with...

Here are the step by step tutorial on how to create a couple of these mermaids, lets start with the pink mermaid.
Step 1: outline the cookie with edible marker and start with the face and body area. Flood with skin colour icing in medium consistency (we use 20 seconds icing for this).
Step 2: Fill the hair area with brown medium consistency icing and let it dry.
Step 3: Fill the mermaid tail with a light pink icing also in medium consistency and let it dry.

Then we continue with adding the details.
Step 4: Add the waist area, the chest and the bottom of the tail with a darker pink icing also in medium consistency - see picture below with the detail.
Step 5: mark the face area so you know where to put the eyes & mouth.
Step 6: add the eyes with black icing and use a small nonpareils sugar to add the white dot in the middle of the eyes just to give it some dimension. Use black edible marker to add the mouth.
Step 7: lastly add the strands of hair with outline/stiff consistency icing and as a last touch you can add a tiny fondant flower in the hair - see picture below

Similar steps can be followed for the sea-green mermaids.

Step 1: outline the cookie with edible marker and start with the face and body area. Flood with skin colour icing in medium consistency (we use 20 seconds icing for this).
Step 2: Fill the hair area with brown medium consistency icing and let it dry.
Step 3: Fill the mermaid tail with a light sea green icing also in medium consistency and let it dry.

Step 4: add the waist area, the chest and the bottom of the tail with a darker pink icing also in medium consistency - see picture below with the detail.
Step 5: mark the face area so you know where to put the eyes & mouth.
Step 6: add the eyes with black icing and use a small nonpareils sugar to add the white dot in the middle of the eyes just to give it some dimension. Use black edible marker to add the mouth.
Step 7: lastly add the strands of hair with outline/stiff consistency icing and as a last touch you can add a tiny fondant flower in the hair - see picture below

You can also create other complimentary 'under the sea' theme like shells, starfish and mermaid silhouette like we did in this platter :)

I have it on good authority that my lovely niece loves these set of cookies so i think we can safely say its mission accomplished ;-) Have a great week everyone!

Its been a while since I've updated this blog. I'm so sorry I have been a tad busy and have been slacking a bit at updating this blog. I will try my best to do it more regularly :)

I haven't had a chance to post these cookies here yet, but I have posted a video tutorial of how to make both the watermelon & pineapple cookies in my Instagram account. Here are the finishedcookies :)

We didn't get a chance to take photo tutorial of the watermelon cookies as we made a video tutorial instead. I have put a you tube video link below, this is the first time we are trying to link up one of our videos in this blog...really hope this works! *fingers crossed!* :)

This is what the watermelon cookies looks like when we finished decorating them :)

Now, for the pineapple cookies, what can be cooler than a pineapple with pink sunglasses right? :P

The good news is we did managed to take photo tutorial, so here we go:
Started with a wet on wet technique, flood the base part of the pineapple with yellow flood consistency icing and while the icing is still wet add orange/golden flood consistency icing in polkadot patterns and let it dry.

Next we add the groovy pink sunglasses and the leaves on top:
1. With an outline consistency pink icing, pipe the sunglasses.
2. Add black flood icing in the middle of the sunglasses and while the icing is still wet add a little white line on the side for the reflective side, then add the heart shape lips.
3. Lastly, with a leaf tip piped the top part as shown below.

Here they are together after we complete the decorating steps.

So there you go, they are pretty simple to make. Hope that will encourage you to give it a go and try making these cute cookies. Hope you had a great weekend ;-)

Because sometimes we just need an extra bit of magic in our lives ;-) And these cookies make me happy :)

We made these cookies for a cookie swap with another cookie decorator in Australia :) And of course Claudia has reserved one set for her teacher as a welcome back present after she away away being sick for a while...she is so sweet :)

These unicorn cookies takes a bit more time to do because of their colourful hair, but we have a step by step photo tutorial for you if you want to try making them :)

Step 1: start with the body of the unicorn, fill with medium consistency white icing (see the first photo below - on the left side). Let the base white icing dry completely.

Step 2: draw her eyes with edible marker and add the unicorn horn with a stiff consistency white icing.

Step 3: add her mouth outline & nose with white outline consistency icing. You can mark out the areas for her hair if you like, but if you want to free-hand the hair you can do that too :) - see the photo below.

Okay so while we are waiting to do the next step we prepared the icing for the unicorn hair.

This is quite fun to do but probably best to do with a fresh icing rather than the ones from the fridge as sometimes the colours can separate.

If you come across icing that the colour separated while being kept in the fridge, i would suggest re-freshing it by taking it out of the piping bag and put it into a bowl and stir with spatula until everything mixed thoroughly. You can also add a bit more icing sugar to bring a bit more life into it and thickening it a bit.

• Prepared a piece of plastic food wrap (also known as cling-wrap) on top of your bench. Then put all the colours you want to use on top of it - see picture below on the far left side.
  
  
• Then roll the cling wrap into a long roll (make sure there is plenty of tails on each side - see middle picture below.
  
  
• Last step is to insert the wrapped icing into a piping bag - see last picture on the right. The when you are ready to use the icing snip the tail and put your piping tip and you are ready to go! ;-)
  
  

Note: I almost forgot to say, these icing needs to be outline consistency to make it work, and we also learned that if we put the icing in the middle (like that pink icing on the picture below) it wont show up in the end result as it will be hidden inside the roll. So next time just put the colours next to each other and roll....this way all the colours will show up nicely :)

Okay so now you have the icing ready for the unicorn hair. But  before we use that icing and proceed with that one last fun step, we painted the hoofs and the horn with gold lustre dust.

And lastly, pipe the rainbow colour icing that we have prepared for the hair and do swirly motions - see picture below :)

PS: As you can see in the unicorn hair below (picture on the right), we can't see the pink colour as its hidden in the middle as mentioned in my note above. A lesson learned for the next time ;-)

Okay so here are a closer look at the unicorns after they are all done and ready to go :)

Our next mission is to create the rainbow....because every unicorn always comes with a rainbow right? Well we think so anyway ;-)

The rainbow is reasonbably simple to make.

Step 1: Flood the cloud aread with white icing with medium consistency
Step 2: Pipe the colours of the rainbow on top (for these we chose pink, yellow & blue), let it dry
Step 3: Add the swirls on the white cloud with an outline consistency icing - see picture below

Here are a plater of rainbows, sunshine and love heart cookies...i'm pretty sure every single one of us needs this platter in our lives :)

So there you go. Hopefully this post brings a little happiness for you today, we have all the elements of magic here, sunshine, rainbows, love hearts and most importantly magical unicorns! :)

If you are going to try making these cuties please drop us a note, we would love to hear from you :) Have a magical day!

Aren't these doggy the cutest? We have been wanting to make them for agesss and only got a chance to do it now. Special thanks to our friend Kate from Say it with sweetness for making it possible to make these cookies ;-)

They are fairly simple to make.
Step 1: Use medium consistency red icing to create the red scarf around his neck. To create the polkadots, drop dots of white medium consistency icing while the red icing is still wet - we call this the 'wet on wet technique'. Let it crusted over/dry for a few minutes, and add the ties on the right side of the neck - see picture below.

Step 2: Flood the remainder area with medium consistency black icing. Let it dry.

Step 3: Pipe on the details such as its nose, eyes, hairlines and jawlines underneath the nose.

That's all you need to do to finish this cute scotty dog :)

If you prefer to look at videos of how to make these cuties you can visit my instagram account. Unfortunately i can't post videos here as my blog account has a limited capability.
Here is the final look of the close ups :)

Hope you are having a fabulous restful weekend ;-)

I know we are getting into the coldness of winter here so it may be a bit weird posting ice cream and popsicles now....but there is an upside of these ice creams and popsicles, you won't get cold because they are cookies :P

We made these for Claudia's school netball fundraising this weekend, hope they will sell out ;-)

I only managed to  take photo tutorial for the popsicle, sorry we totally forgot to take pics of the the ice cream decorating progress. The popsicle is super simple to make so hopefully it will make up for it :)

They are super simple to make in 3 easy steps:
1. Fill the bottom area of the popsicle with white icing in medium consistency, let it dry.
2. fill the rest of the cookie area with your preferred icing colour, let it overlap near the bottom so it will look like melting ice - see picture below. Let it dry completely.
3. Piped 2 black dots with black icing for the eyes and draw the eye lashes with black edible marker. Add the mouth with the same black edible market and lastly add light pink icing on the cheeks as blusher.

I reckon anything looks cuter with kawaii faces on them, it just add that little bit of personality don't you think so? :)

Well, we had a bit of an accident with the blue popsicle (as you can see from the photo below the top blue popsicle snapped at the handle) but they still look really cute grouped together in all different colours though :)

And of course, we have to show you the different colour ice creams and i also love the little lollies and jellybean cookies all around them :)

Hope this super easy popsicle and ice cream cookies encourages you to give it a try. If you do try this out, please let me know how you go, i would love to hear from you :)

In the mean time, hope everyone is getting ready for a lovely weekend!

Another attempt at creating one of the Disney princesses, this time we made Rapunzel and Pascal her chameleon :)

We don't have a cookie cutter to make Rapunzel, so we have to hand-cut her, we might get a cookie cutter made for her just in case we need to make her again in the future :)

To make Rapunzel, we start with using a skin colour icing in medium consistency. Flood her face area, neck and hands  - see the picture below on the far left side.

Then use a purple colour icing to fill her dress, we use a medium consistency icing. Wait for about 10-15mins until the icing for the dress is crusted over and add the top shoulder of the dress with the same purple colour icing - see the middle picture.

After the icing for the dress is dry, we add the light purple icing for her sleeves - see the picture below.

The next few steps are about adding the details. Mark off the area of her dress with edible marker and using an outline consistency light purple icing add the top laces of her dress and the shoulders (see the far left picture below).

Then add the bottom lines of her dress with the same purple colour in outline consistency. We also added the black icing for her eyes and using an edible marker draw her mouth.

Lastly, use a medium consistency yellow icing and fill the area for her hair. We also added a few little details such as the flick of her eyelashes with black edible marker and with a link lustre dust we add the blush on her cheek :)

The pink flowers on her hair is optional, you can either add it in or leave it if you dont want it :)

Next is how to make Pascal the chameleon, we decided to go with the simplest face using a diamond shape cutter. This original design were from Callye the Sweet Sugar Belle :)

Here is the step by step picture tutorial on how to make him in 4 simple steps:

Step 1: Flood the entire cookie with green icing in medium consistency

Step 2: Add his eyes, white icing in medium consistency and while its still wet add brown icing in the middle, and let it dry. Once the brown icing is dry add the black icing in the middle.

Step 3: With an outline consistency black icing, pipe his mouth - see picture below.

Step 4: Lastly add the details of his crest (middle forehead) and his eyebrows with an outline consistency green icing.

Here are the finished result for Pascal the Chameleon ;-)

Next is the yellow flower, we tried to make it as close as the yellow flowers in the movie Tangled.
Very Simple flower in 3 steps:

Step 1: pipe the petals with orange or yellow medium consistency icing.
Step 2: Wait approx 10mins until the petal is slighty dry then add the centre with the same icing.
Step 3: Lastly add the swirls on the petal and the middle to give it definition - see picture below.

So there you go, here is the finished result of the the flower and Rapunzel together :)

We hope you enjoyed the tutorial and if you ever decide to try making these please let us know how you go, we would really love to hear from you :)
