You "MARBLE" my heart!

In today's blog, we're exploring the art of decorating a heart cookie using the wet-on-wet technique. This

approach offers a simple yet delightful "marbled" look, where there's no strict definition of a "right" or "wrong" outcome. Dive in and let the creative journey begin! 🎨🍪 

Step 1 - Using detail icing, outline the heart along the edge of the cookie. If you are worried about decorating right on the edge, you can pull the line in a little bit - just try to pull it in a consistent amount all the way around the cookie.

Step 2 - Using flood icing, fill inside the lines, and then use your scribe to fill in all gaps and give the cookie a smooth finish. Use a little less flood icing than normal because we are going to add additional flood icing to the white. Immediately proceed to the next step - this is a wet-on-wet technique.

Step 3 - I used light pink and red flood icings for this step and the next, but you can use any colors  you have available - even adding 3 or more colors. Just be sure you do not "overfill" the cookie.

Using pink flood icing, add a few random squiggles directly to the web base flood icing.

Step 4 - Using red flood icing add a few more random squiggles to the base flood icing. Remember, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to do this - do each cookie a little differently and they'll all have a unique finished look!

Step 5 - Using your scribe, pull it through the icing, mixing the colors into a random pattern. Don't over mix on this part or your colors will all blend together and you won't have as much of a marbled look. If you see that you need more of a color in a certain area, it's fine to add a little more flood icing to the cookie.

I finished my cookie by adding a red dot border around the edge of the cookie. You can view that in the video below. Happy Cookie'ing!
