I was hoping to be clever and aimed to release this taco cookie tutorial this past Tuesday. You know, for Taco Tuesday. (So clever, right?) Well, it's Friday so my plan obviously didn't happen as expected. Instead of waiting until next Tuesday, here's a taco post to start off your weekend!

With most drinking glass cookies, they tend to be frail where the stem connects the cup to the base. However, with these margarita cookies, I tried to prevent that weak spot by tilting the perspective of the design. The base now butts right under the cup, making the silhouette pretty thick and sturdy.

There are seven new Easter cookie options, ranging from single cookie favors to multi-cookie gift set ideas. I tried to optimize the size of each cookie cutter so it would fit best in various different packaging, which I'll go into detail below. Here's a quick overview of the new Easter cookie designs now available.

After 8 years of decorating cookies, my airbrush machine still intimidates me. That being said, the intimidation factor is slowly fading away. I feel like I gain more confidence using my airbrush with each and every use. These egg hugger cookies were a lot of fun to make, mostly due to the airbrushing. The airbrush detail created an impactful impression without a lot of effort. It really did most of the heavy lifting on this cookie design.

I like big bows and I cannot lie. I’m a firm believer that the bigger the bow, the cuter the wearer. These bow tie Easter animal cookies are no exception. In this new Easter collection, I created four animal options (a boy lamb, a girl lamb, a girl bunny, and a boy bunny) all wearing a big bow in some way.

Ever since BRP came out with the perfect 3-cookie gift box, it's been a goal of mine to create a design that uses that box for each holiday. This Easter was no exception.This new Bunny Body cookie set has been one of my most popular cutters. Thank you for that! Because these 3-piece designs have been do so well, I'll definitely keep them coming for future holidays.

Achieving the right royal icing consistencies is the hardest yet the most important part of cookie decorating. It's also quite difficult to describe in words how royal icing consistency should be. That's probably the main reason I've put off writing about it for so long. Nailing the correct royal icing consistency isn't an exact science. It's more of a "feel" and becoming more familiar with how royal icing behaves under different thicknesses.

After what seemed like a long, dreary winter, it's finally looking like spring around here. In my corner of the world, life outdoors is "springing" up everywhere. Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, mosquitos are biting (in Florida, at least). What better way to celebrate our new lively surroundings than with a whole new batch of spring cookie cutter designs!
