The simple beauty of these are absolutely precious!
thank you so much 🥰
Simply delightful! Love the fact that the watercolour background makes each cookie unique. You always pick the best colour combos, I must say! Thanks for all the handy tips as well :)
myredemption92 aww you are most welcome Danbee, glad that you’ve been enjoying my videos 😉💕👍
I fell in love with your beautiful cookies and decided I wanted to make them for my nephew's wedding. His spouse is from India, and I decided to make half the cookies with their names in English and half in Marathi. Your instructions and video were so clear and helpful that you made me feel I could do this. The wedding was last weekend, the cookies were lovely, and I think the guests from India were touched to see their language. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your creativity; you are an inspiration!
22Moons 22 awww thank you so much for sharing this with me ☺️💕 I love hearing feedback like yours as that is the reason why I started this TH-cam channel. I’m so pleased you have created a beautiful momento for your nephews wedding, such a thoughtful gesture and I’m so glad to have helped you in the process! Thanks again for taking the time to leave your kind comments, you’ve just made my day brighter! 😘❤️
@@CookieliciousNZ i am a beginner so I don't know much but food colours we used for icings are also can used for painting the cookies??
Wow stunning cookies! So beautiful and classy!
snowie aww thank you Tiff 😘

Simple & elegant 😍
Mandy Thomas-Wilson thanks Mandy, sometime I think the simplest thing is the loveliest of all 😘❤️
Cookielicious NZ couldn't agree more 😊
Very well done!
thank you so much 😊💖
Amazing...
Lovelyrachie 28 thank you so much 😉💕
I've heard, that VODKA can also be used instead of the other additive to the gel food color.
Hello! Thanks for this nice tutorial
Hi Vero, that is the same issues I have with vodka, you have to use it really thinly (wipe your brush into a paper towel before touching the icing) I found rose spirit (or Everclear Grain Alcohol if you can get it in your country) is better to use for painting with gel colouring 🙂👍
I love this video. I am wanting to know the font you used for the writing. Would you mind sharing that info please. I made some cookies and used your watercolor technique and they turned out awesome. Thank you for showing us how to do this.
Absolutely stunning❤can you use just regular pure alcohol like vodka or just water ? And also would alcohol evaporate?
Hi! I love all of your videos! You have helped me so much... But i have a problem sith the egg smell of the icing even though i use strawberry or almond extract i still get that egg smell and its unappealing. What can i do
Beautiful
Thank you so much dear Sabrina, hope you are having a wonderful day 😘
Cookielicious NZ You are welcome❤️
When you leave the cookies to dry do you put them in a container or leave them on the counter? If you put them out on the counter wouldn’t it dry the cookie out?
Amber Carlo Hi Amber, I put the cookies on my bench while the icing is still wet to wait for them to dry, and while the icing is in the process of drying the cookies won’t dry out because the icing on top will act as a protective layer. However when the icing is completely dry and I have finished my decorating process I put them into an airtight container. If I’m making them for a client, I heat-sealed each cookie into an individual cellophane bag to keep the fresh longer 😊 hope that helps explained it better 😉👍💖
What edible pen do you have that is so light?
Can i just mix the color gel and decorating dust with water? I live in the middle east where alcohol is not allowed
Can I do the same technique for the doughnut 🍩 ?
Thank you for this video. I want to know where you buy the gold dust and which brand?
Hi Mofida, please check my description box as i always put all the links to the tools and resources that I use in every video, which includes the gold dust :)
I was wondering if using vodka or the everclear makes the cookies not recommended for kids or others that don't want alcohol?
Hi Terri, the alcohol wont affect the taste or even left any traces as they evaporate so quickly....sometimes while we are still decorating we need to keep adding more alcohol as they evaporate into thin air lol 😋so no, you dont have to worry about serving any alcohol in your cookies, once the alcohol evaporate when you air-dry it, the gold lustre dust sets into the icing without any traces of liquid 😉👍
Hi, how about when we are making for Muslims? We need to be considerate right, I don't know what can be substitute.
Loving your videos. Wanted to ask, is there a substitute for the alcohol? Thanks in advance
Hi Maryam, high content alcohol produces the best result, however as an alternative you can use essence/extract that has a higher content of alcohol but the result wont be as smooth as it might pit your icing
You can opt for lemon extract/essence!
@@pj8553 thank you! I was really hoping it would be lemon extract as it’s the only clear essence in our pantry 😂
Can I use lemon extract to mix with the food gel?
Natalie Cazalas Hi Natalie, if you want to use extract it needs to be a clear extract with a high alcohol content, do you know how many % is the alcohol content of your extract? I’m guessing if you are using lemon extract it will be yellow so it may change the colour of your gel colouring. Try and get a clear extract, if you don’t have one that is clear with high alcohol content you might need to use Vodka (it’s clear and usually has 40% alcohol content). Hope that helps 😉
Can i use water for the lustre ???
Hi what can I use instead of alcohol ?
What did you use to write on the biscuit? Royal icing ?
Hiya, yes i use royal icing to decorate my cookies, there is a link to recipe & video tutorial in my description box in case you want to try them out 😉💞
Beautiful work!
My icing comes out of the tip broken and doesn't flow nicely. If I dilute it, it's too runny and won't hold shape. Any tips?
SouthernSignatures hello, if your icing doesn’t flow nicely that means the consistency is too stiff, you need to add water little by little, I used a spray bottle to spray some water into my icing, and keep checking until you get the right consistency. I found the spray bottle is a vital tool to get the right icing consistency 😊 have you watched my Royal Icing Consistency video? That would help you get the right consistency to make decorating easier 😉👍
Thank you! Since my question to you, I have since learned that using meringue powder as opposed to egg whites makes all the difference when writing or making flowers and details. The egg white recipe tastes far better, and for outlining and flooding it's great!
hi SouthernSignatures, so glad you have found a solution to your icing problem! Some people prefer to use meringue powders if they can easily access it in their countries. In some countries they are quite hard to find or only available at specialty baking stores, either way both royal icing can be used for decorating purposes 😉💖😊
Hey, I am wondering how you wrote the words before tracing it with royal icing? Did you use a stencil or projector?
Hi Ana, i use a pocket projector and I write the words with edible marker as guidelines before i pipe the writing with royal icing. I'm horrible at free-hand writing so the projector really helped specially with the spacing issues that I usually get when i try to free-hand writing on cookie. Hope that helps 😉
Can you use something other than alcohol to mix the food colouring gel with ?
You can also try a clear lemon extract or a tiny bit of water...just bear in mind that alcohol evaporates quickly whereas water sits on top of your icing and it will be damp for a while. If you use water you might also have a slight issue of pitting in your icing if you use too much 🙂
i just starts to follow ur channel... so i wish to ask... every times after using royal icing ... need to rest aka dried for at least 30-60 min before applying another colour or painting?
Hi Wendy, if you are going to add another icing colour on top of the base icing then I would highly recommend letting it dry completely (at least 4-5 hours if you are air-drying or 30 mins in a dehydrator), if you dont wait until the icing is dry then you are likely to get colour bleed from the icing. The same rule applies if you want to paint with diluted food colours then make sure the base icing is completely dry before painting. Hope that helps 😉💖
@@CookieliciousNZ oic... Den for a beginner how many colour do you recommend to start with? Hope it dont scared me away... Haha...
I’m having a hard time finding rose spirit or everclear. Can u tell me where I can buy it? Thank you!
Gorgeous cookies btw!
Hi Julianne, where abouts are you located? If you are in NZ or Australia I have included a link in my description box for a place where you can get the rose spirit from :) If you are in the US I think you be best to try an online shop like "How Sweet is That" as they ship worldwide. 😊 Also just to let you know that I always put links of all the tools and resources in my description box of every video that I posted, so if you ever wonder where to get the stuff i used in my video be sure to check my description box 😉 Hope that helps 🙂💖👍
Cookielicious NZ awesome!! Thank you for responding!
You're welcome! I hope you'll find one as it is really handy to have them 😊 I use it to clean my airbrush too 😁👍
You can also use vodka.
Could you use just vanilla extract instead of rose spirit?
Hi Kayla, i know you can use a clear lelon extract but if you use any extract that is not clear (i think vanilla extract is usually brownish) it will affect the colours as well it might pit the icing. You can always use clear vodka as a replacement for rose spirit. The alcohol will evaporate quickly so you dont need to worry about the alcohol taste 😉
Do you just use a regular dehydrator?
hiya, I used Sunbeam Food Lab Dehydrator to dry my cookies and its been working really well for me so far 😉👍💖
Thank you! I am doing a homeschool group event having the kids play with decorating and I wanted a way to dry the cookie quickly!
Is there something else to use instead of alcohol?
Hi Samreen, high content alcohol produces the best result and the alcohol evaporates so quickly that it dries almost straight away. However as an alternative you can try to use a clear essence/extract but the result wont be as smooth and it might also pit your icing if you put too much on.
The reason behind my question is am Muslim and I don’t consume alcohol. I appreciate your response anyway and Keep up the good work... love
Hi Samreen, totally understand, however i just need to let you know that the alcohol doesn't stay on the cookie or the icing as when the lustre dust dries out the alcohol evaporate into the air and the only thing left behind is the lustre dust itself...so you wont be consuming the alcohol itself...it is only being used to apply the lustre dust.
I appreciate your explaination but it’s all the same either it evaporates or sticks that alcohol was still used from before! Thanks I shall try some other means! Stay blessed
No worries at all, i hope you find an alternative solution that works well for you 😉👍💖
How did you do the inscription on the cookie. Your work is amazing
the insciption takes practice my kids and husband tried it and it was pretty bad 🤣😂
Can you show how to use the projector?
Hmm..why use alcohol? I saw another video where someone used vodka.
you can use clear alcohol or vodka, it works the same way 😊i found that sometimes vodka can pit your icing depending on how much you use, the alcohol will evaporate quickly tho so you have to work pretty fast.
What is the substitute of alcoholic product , what else we can use ? Being Muslim we can't use alcoholic products so plz give the substitute ..
It will be highly appreciative & welcoming 💝
