Wedding Cake Cookies!

I really, really love sugar cookies. They are just an open canvas for art. I've been wanting to try them for a long time now and the other day I got the best excuse to do so!

My brother is getting married so in order to welcome my new sister into the family, I made these wedding cake cookies. They were so, SO fun to do. And SO easy!

I found a super yummy Sugar Cookie Recipe (that might spread a bit) from Sweetopia.net. Click HERE:

For these Wedding Cake Cookies, I simply stacked two cookies together for each "tier" of the cookie cake because I wanted that height.

Then I piped some white flood-consistency royal icing in a simple circle for each "tier" of the cookie.

I used my #14 & #16 Wilton star tips and piped on two different shades of lavender royal icing in a stiffer consistency.
Finally, I used a #66 Wilton leaf tip to create the green leaves. The tips really do all the work for you!

{Don't mind my purple-stained fingers, it's a baker's life to have colored-stained hands. ;) }

You guys!! I also tried my hand at a wet-on-wet technique and it was SO fun!

 I found the BEST Youtube tutorial to help me from the amazingly talented Sweet Ambs Cookies.

 For the rose cookies, I simply piped a swirl with my light lavender, then put a dot of dark lavender in the center of that swirl. Then I took a toothpick and swirled it all together.
So easy, right?!

Happy cake/cookie baking everyone!
