Easter Elegance: Decorating a Stained Glass Cross Cookie

As Easter draws near, we're embracing the spirit of renewal and celebration with a touch of elegance. In this blog post, we'll delve into the art of decorating an Easter-themed stained glass cross cookie. With

intricate details and vibrant colors, this cookie promises to be a stunning centerpiece for your holiday festivities.

Join me as we explore the techniques and creativity required to bring this beautiful symbol of faith and resurrection to life. Whether you're a seasoned decorator or a newcomer to the world of cookie art, there's something truly special about crafting a meaningful Easter treat that reflects the beauty and significance of the season. Let's dive in and create something truly extraordinary together! 🌷🍪✨

For this particular cookie design, here are the supplies you'll need:

• Easter cross cookie cutter
• Chefmaster liqua gels in white (yes, I do put a little white in my white icing), neon green, neon pink, neon yellow, royal blue and neon orange 
• Chefmaster set B             
• Chefmaster set C
• Royal icing - I make mine with Genies Dream meringue powder

Icing Consistencies & Colors 

1. Flood -pink, yellow, green, blue and orange
   
2. Detail - white

Now, let's dive into the steps:

1. Using your white detail icing, outline the cross and then draw the lines for your stained glass pieces. You can just randomly do this, with every cross looking a little different. Just try and keep the sections fairly big, so you can easily fill with flood icing.
2. Let the cross sit for about 10  minutes
3. Begin filling the sections with the different colors of flood icing, spreading the colors so you don't have the same color touching, if possible. Be sure to not overfill, so the icing doesn't run into the sections next to it. Fill all sections
4. Use your scribe to pull the flood icing up to, but not over the lines
   
5. Let the icing crust over, about 30 minutes, in front of a small fan on low
6. Using your white detail icing, redraw the white lines around the outside of the cross and between all sections. Try to do nice long lines, but if you have a break, smooth it out with your scribe.
   

That's it! Allow the cookie to dry for 24 hours, and it'll be ready to go. Wishing you the best of luck on your decorating journey, and I can't wait to see your beautiful creations!
