I came across this Spirograph Set while shopping and knew immediately that I had to try it out on royal icing with edible ink markers! These Spirograph cookies are the result of my experiment.

The ultra fine point on the Rainbow Dust edible food pen works really well with the Spirograph.

When I was a child, I got addicted to spirograph and ended up doing some of the designs free hand over and over and over. I might get one and play with cookies. I have a question, though - often when I do a drawing with black pen (same brand, actually) if I pain the inside the black will bleed into the color - do you wait overnight or a few hours before filling the color in, or is there some other trick???? Love your designs!
These cookies have such a cool design! Love them!!
you are way tooooooo fantastic! I don't have a spirograph. Yesterday i have been toying with other things that i have and wondered if i could do something similar to what you did in this video/tutorial. Sheesh! lol I feared I wouldn't be able to control to make a design...
Again, this is fantastic!
most dollar stores sell little Spirograph kits in their toy section.
thanks smiling our stores are a dirty mess now and then i go but not too often lol
