You Ruffle My Heart

I'm completely smitten with the brush embroidery technique on this heart cookie! Its feminine and sweet

appearance can elevate various cookie styles, making them absolutely beautiful. If you're new to brush embroidery, there are fantastic tutorial videos on this simple technique. Head over to YouTube and search "cookie brush embroidery" for some helpful guides.

Unfortunately, my attempt to record the decorating process resulted in a video mishap... my sincere apologies! Nevertheless, I managed to capture some captivating images for you to enjoy. 🌸🍪 

 

Step 1: Using detail icing, draw about 5 or 6 scallops along the edge of the cookie. Then, using a small, clean, food-safe paint brush, brush lightly along the scallop, brushing the icing in towards the center of the cookie - about 1/4 of an inch. Don't worry if all of your inside edges aren't exactly the same distance, we will flood the inside with a heart.

You only complete a few scallops at a time because you don't want the icing to dry.

Continue this process all the way around the cookie.

This finished brushed embroidered edge should look like this.

Step 2 - using detail icing, outline a heart, covering the inside edges of the brush embroidery. Place a few squiggles inside the heart, using your detail icing. This helps us get a pretty, puffy look with our icing.

Step 3 - With your flood icing, fill inside the heart lines and then use your scribe to fill and smooth the flood icing.

That's it - Can you believe how easy it is to create a cookie this beautiful?? I can't wait to see your designs - please share them!!
