The freeze-dried strawberries in this recipe create bumps in the cookies, so I decorated the back of these cookies to have a nice smooth surface for decorating.

There is a lace fabric under the platter above the cookies. There is a light blue dish holding fresh strawberries in the background.

To decorate these cookies, I applied a thin layer of teal medium consistency royal icing as a base for the eyelet lace.

A hand is hold a round cookie and a tapered spatula has just smoothed a layer of teal royal icing on the cookie.

I let the icing dry for about 30 minutes before tracing the eyelet lace stencil. I cut my own stencil using a Silhouette Portrait 3 with 4mil mylar material.

Then I outlined the eyelet lace pattern with medium consistency royal icing and a decorating tip 1. I let that dry for a few minutes before filling in the design with flood consistency royal icing using a tipless decorating bag.

After that I filled in the circle in the center with bright pink flood consistency royal icing and then immediately piped light pink dots with a flood consistency icing and a decorating tip 1. This is known as the wet-on-wet technique.

Once that dried for about an hour, I added details to my eyelet lace using medium consistency icing and a tip 1. This is the same icing that I used to outline the lace.

Then I piped my strawberry blossoms with stiff consistency royal icing and a petal tip 101.

To make these flowers, hold the tip nearly flat against the parchment paper square with the narrow end of the tip facing out and pipe 5 petals. Use a dry brush to flatten any points where the petals meet in the center.

I used this small dot template to pipe flower centers with medium consistency royal icing and covered them with yellow sanding sugar.

Once I had piped several flowers and flower centers I let everything dry overnight.

The following day I removed the yellow sanding sugar from the flower centers and attached them to my strawberry blossoms with a little bit of leftover icing. Then I attached the flowers to the cookies.

Then I added one leaf to each strawberry blossom using green stiff consistency royal icing and a leaf tip 352.
