Baby Bassinet Cookie Tutorial
I made these cookies in 2013 when my grandmother requested a special design for her friends who became grandparents to twins. — These baby bassinet cookies utilize the royal icing flooding technique, brush embroidery, ruffles and beading.

Read my affiliate disclosure here. — The blue, pink and green colors in these bassinets are from the Wilton Garden Tone 4-Piece Colors Set. You can also achieve these colors by adding black or brown to your pinks, blues and greens. To make the skin color shown here, I used a touch of brown mixed with a touch of pink and a mixture of brown and black for the eyes. —
Here’s what you’ll need for this project. Find most of these supplies in my Amazon Store.
- 3″ round cookie (my Orange Vanilla Spice recipe is available in the tutorial shop)
- Flood consistency royal icing
- Stiff consistency royal icing
- Scribe tool
- Decorating tips 1, 2, 3 and 104
- Square tip brush

Make another layer of drapes using the same process.
—
— Finish the canopy by piping three dots in the center where the drapes meet. — To make the eyes, first make a guide by using the scribe tool to draw two tiny curved lines into the icing where the eyes will be. Then, dip your scribe in the black/brown icing (flood consistency) and gently dab it onto the guides. — The bottom of the bassinet is covered by two layers of ruffles. Use a 104 petal tip with the narrow end facing out.—
Layer the next ruffle over the first one.
— Using the same tip 3 and stiff consistency icing that you used for the brush embroidery, pipe a bead border on the top edge of the last ruffle. — Allow the icing to dry for at least another 6 hours before handling the cookie.—
