Have a Heart!

Embracing the Valentine's Day festivities, I wanted to share another delightful heart-shaped cookie tutorial. I'm confident you'll adore this one, and it's a simple yet charming addition to your home-based decorating endeavors!

Check out this image of the final cookie - doesn't it look absolutely adorable, like a flower blossoming into a heart!

Now, let's kick things off with your list of supplies:

1. heart-shaped cookie
2. white flood icing
3. white detail icing
4. pink detail icing
5. red detail icing

Alright, let the decorating fun begin!

Step 1: Use the white detail icing to outline the heart shape. You have the option to go right up to the edge for a seamless look, or maintain a consistent small distance from the edge—both approaches yield fantastic results!

Step 2: Utilize the white flood icing to generously cover the entire cookie, creating a delectable and mouthwatering treat!

Step 3: With your scribe, fill in any gaps and achieve a smooth finish. Place the cookie in front of a small fan on low for approximately 30 minutes, or if you have a dehydrator, set it on the lowest setting for 20 minutes. It's essential for the cookie to develop a crust before moving on to the next step.

Step 4: Using the white detail icing to draw the flower stems. Feel free to replicate my design or let your creativity shine by experimenting with something unique. Enjoy the process and have fun with it! 

Step 5 - Finish. For the remaining steps, refer to the the video below . Utilize your red and pink detail icing to incorporate "heart" flowers onto the white stems, placing them wherever you envision they'll enhance the overall look. Keep in mind, there are no strict rules for these flowers—they're a canvas for your unique creations! Enjoy the cookie decorating process, and I look forward to seeing you next time. Don't forget to share your delightful results! Happy cookie decorating!
