Bows & Polka Dots - Perfection

Presenting the absolute cutest cookie, and though it's not my design, I regrettably can't recall the talented

creator. My sincere apologies for not giving proper credit in advance. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy decorating this cookie as much as I did—it's just oozing with sassiness! 🍪💁‍♀️ 

 

Step 1 - Using detail icing, outline the heart. I kept my line pretty close to the edge, but you can move in just a tiny bit if that's more comfortable for you.

 Step 2 - Using flood icing, fill inside the drawn lines. Then use your scribe to fill all gaps and give the cookie a smooth finish. Immediately proceed to the next step, which is a wet-on-wet technique.

 

 

 

 Step 3 - Using flood icing, add dots to the wet flood. Don't overfill. Set the cookie aside to crush - approximately 20-30 minutes, maybe a little less if you place into a dehydrator.

The rest of the steps are detailed on the following video - but I'll still walk you through them - 

Step 4 - Once the cookie has crusted, using your black detail icing, outline each of the polka dots. Also outline the outside of the heart.

Step 5 - Using a hot pink detail icing, draw the ribbon and bow outline across the cookie. Be sure to draw complete lines across the ends (not pictured here)

Step 6 - Using flood icing fill in the bow and ribbon, using your scribe to fill gaps and smooth. You will fill these lines in multiple steps - filling sections that do not touch, allowing the sections to crust over and then filling more. Here's the order I filled mine.

- fill both sides of the bow - allow it to crust

- fill the outside ribbon lines on both sides and the middle of the bow - allow it to crust

That's it! Woolah - you have a super sassy Valentine heart!
