Use the t-square and the paring knife to cut 3×3″ square cookies. Bake and cool according to the recipe. Watch this video on making tiny roses to learn how to create this design using the wet on wet technique. Allow the icing to dry 8-12 hours before moving on to the next step. — Use the scribe tool to scratch the outline of a letter in the surface of the icing. You can also use the tissue paper method for this part. — Outline and fill in the letter using a tip 1 and medium consistency royal icing. — Use the scribe tool to evenly distribute the icing. — Tap the cookie on the table and shake it back and forth really fast! This helps to smooth out the icing. — Allow the icing to dry for about an hour, then add stitches with medium consistency icing and a tip 1. This pink shade is aster mauve from the Wilton garden tone set. — To make the button, pipe a circle using medium consistency icing and a tip 1. — Fill in the circle, but leave 4 tiny circles for the button holes. Allow the icing to dry about 20 minutes. — Pipe a stitch in the button using the same pink medium consistency icing that you used for the stitching around the monogram. — Allow the first stitch to dry a few minutes, and then pipe another stitch. — Outline the button again using the same icing and tip that was used to pipe the base of the button. — To make the rickrack, outline and fill in a zigzag line with medium consistency icing and a tip 1. — Use the scribe tool to help shape the points of the zigzag. — Allow the rickrack to dry about an hour, then pipe a bead border using stiff consistency brown icing and a tip 3. There is a video in my cookie decorating tutorial shop with full instructions on how to pipe a bead border. — Allow the bead border to dry about 30 minutes. Mix a little bit of gold luster dust and a few drops of alcohol or flavored extract to form a paint. Apply the gold paint with a small brush.
