Elegant Easter Delights: Decorating an Egg Cookie with Brush Embroidery Border

Easter is a time of renewal and celebration, marked by vibrant colors and intricate designs. In this brief blog post, we'll embark on a creative journey to decorate an egg-shaped cookie adorned with a delicate

brush embroidery border. This elegant technique adds a touch of sophistication to traditional Easter treats, transforming them into edible works of art. Join us as we explore the art of brush embroidery and discover how to elevate your Easter baking with this stunning decorative border. Let's bring a touch of elegance to our springtime celebrations!  

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

• Egg cookie cutter 
• Chefmaster liqua gels in white (yes, I do put a little white in my white icing) neon green and bakers rose  
• Chefmaster set B
• Chefmaster set C

• Royal icing - I make mine with Genies Dream meringue powder
• Food safe paint brush

Icing Consistencies & Colors 

1. Flood -pink
2. Detail - white, pink and green (if you plan to pipe a little rosette flower like mine, you will need piping consistency icing, however, you can leave the flower off or add a daisy like flower using detail icing)
   

Now, let's dive into the steps:

1. Using white detail icing, add a brush embroidery outline around the entire egg
2. Using your pink detail icing, outline an egg shape covering the inside edges of the brush embroidery
3. Flood the inside of the outline using pink flood icing
   
4. Allow the cookie to crust over (approximately 15-30 minutes in front of a small fan on low).
5. You can add a daisy like flower using your detail icing. Using the green detail, add a dot to the center of the egg.
6. Using the pink detail icing, pipe daisy petals around the green dot. Put your icing tip at the side of the green dot and then apply pressure until the petal is the size you want.
7. You can use green detail to add a few green stems around the flower if you want - or leave this off. It will look great with or without.
   

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!
