I decided to hone my craft this year and create some springy Easter cookies to give to family rather than buy cards or flowers. There were four shapes, two being Easter-themed and two others being more springtime-themed. There were Easter eggs (which were large!), chicks hatching out of eggs, butterflies, and flowers.
I was able to make each egg different, which pleased me.
The chicks were definitely the plainest of all the cookies, but I just had to include them since I was lacking an Easter bunny. At the time, I had wished that I could have given them black eyes rather than white ones, but because these cookies were done for free, I didn't have it in me to make another batch of icing just for a few black dots. They were cute, anyway!
I'm disappointed with how small these became once I put them all together into one picture, but you can see the detail well enough. There were two butterflies of each color, and I was able to pipe different designs on each one. I picked my favorite of each color to show as an example =) I thought they were so ornate! These, along with the flowers, were the most difficult. Creating symmetrical designs with piping icing is a hard thing to master!
And the flowers wrap up my Easter cookies. My next batch is going to be in three weeks for a 17 year old's birthday party. She has requested that the color scheme be light pink, hot pink, and black. Should look amazing!
