Decoration Details: Snowflake Cookies Design #1
Starting at one tip of the snowflake, pipe a thin white line to the opposite tip, leaving a rounded end at each tip. Repeat with the remaining tips, making sure each line (there will be 3 total) meets the others in the center. Like when piping a border, you’ll make a thread of icing that’ll span the expanse of the cookie, only touching down on the cookie with your tip to create the rounded ends.
On each line going from the center, pipe 3 “V” shapes with the points going toward the center. Try to keep the “V” shapes tucked to the main line so that as you pipe more “V” shapes on the other lines, they won’t overlap and touch. 3. Using the dark blue, pipe a small dot between each line (there will be 6) and 1 larger dot in the center, where the white lines meet. Let dry until hardened, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week
Design #2-Design 1 is slightly simpler than design 2, but have similar steps. After making the long bisecting lines mentioned in step 1, you’ll pipe smaller lines over the center, between the larger lines (3 total). Then you’ll pipe 2 “V” shapes at the top of each of the longer lines. A smattering of blue dots fills the empty space, and a pearl sprinkle is placed in the center as a crowning jewel. Use tweezers for exact pearl placement so you keep from accidentally smudging the icing.
