These Halloween cookies are part of a collaboration with my friend Angela of The Squishy Monster. Angela thought it would be cute to incorporate Jack Skellington into our project, so I put his face on a pumpkin cookie!

Do you have a tutorial or instructions for the other beautiful cookies that accompanied Jack Skellington in the picture? Specifically hoping you do for the Halloween Victorian scroll cookie. It’s gorgeous!
Thank you! Here's a post with tutorials for the other cookies in the set 🙂 https://www.sweetambs.com/tutorial/halloween-cookies-2/
Gorgeous!!! Do you just wait for crusting between? Trying to work out how to avoid bleeding🙈
Thank you! I wait about 30 minutes to an hour for the icing to be dry just enough to fill in the sections in between. This post has tips on how to prevent color bleed: https://www.sweetambs.com/tutorial/royalicing/
Where are the printable instructions?
We're having trouble the with recipe plugin. Working on it today! Sorry about that!
How do you make floodable Royal icing
make your royal icing as per the directions, in order to thin for flooding use small amounts of water at a time and mix into the icing with a small spatula. it will reach flooding concistancy when you pull your spatula through the icing and it take about 17 seconds to recover completely. Good Luck, and Have Fun!!
Tudo muito lindo e fácil porem trabalhoso e sem pressa pra dar certo!!!
Did you use flood consistency icing to pipe the vertical lines on the mouth and on the nose?
Hi amber, love your video and the music you used. I've tried to identify the music but have drawn a blank. Could you tell me what it is please...? Many thanks rachel x
It's called Neutrinos by Paul Mottram. I searched for a while.. I love the music as well.
Que material es??
I could watch you pipe all day! Cute video and cookies 😉
Thanks, Lisa!! 😀
These look amazing. Thanks for sharing the technique x
These Halloween pumpkins and their video are a lot of fun! Love the choice of music, too 🙂
Thank you, Michelle!!
Julia, these are so fun! Did you do the orange parts before the black to reduce color bleed, or is it just personal preference?
Not so much to prevent color bleed, but so that the eyes would look a little bit recessed, as if they were carved out 🙂
Bellissimi!
Once again thank you for your creativity and share it with us. kisses
WOW!!!
Beautiful work. Who would want to eat them.
LOVE THEM!
