After driving my 2001 Honda Accord for 13 years, I finally traded it in for a new Civic. Since I graduated high school, I took my Accord (or my Accord took me, I should say) from New York to Florida, back to New York and then to Atlanta, from Atlanta back to New York, from New York to Chicago and back to New York again. So, it didn't surprise me when I got emotional leaving Hamby (my Accord had a name) in the car graveyard waiting to be sold for parts :*( I made these car cookies in honor of Hamby and also in celebration of my shiny new Civic, yet to be named.
The pattern transfer technique used for these Honda cookies can be used for almost any logo or monogram. Read this post for more information on how it's done.
Here’s what you’ll need for this project:
- Roll out cookie dough (my Orange Vanilla Spice cookie recipe is available in my tutorial shop)
- Flood consistency royal icing
- Medium consistency royal icing
- Scribe tool
- Edible ink marker
- Tissue paper
- Round decorating tip numbers 1 and 2
- Gold pearl dust
- Alcohol or flavored extract to paint with the gold pearl dust (read this post for more information on painting with pearl dust including a link to alternatives to alcohol)
- Paint palette or small dish for mixing
- Small brush (such as the round tip brush in this Wilton set)
- Pink = Wilton aster mauve from the garden tone set
- Blue = Wilton delphinium blue from the garden tone set
- Green = Wilton juniper green from the garden tone set
- Brown = Americolor chocolate brown + Wilton juniper green
awww! Upgrading a new car and leaving your old one is always sad, but on the bright side you will have newer memories with a nice new car. 🙂
I didn't even know that your car had a name, Amber.
Haha I can't believe you didn't know that. Ask Rebecca. She knows!
Hi Amber, I love your videos and your posts! I was wondering what brand of gold lustre dust you use? Mine never looks that good lol.
Thanks, Jackie! I use NY Cake super gold. https://www.nycake.com/fdasterlingpearldust25gjar-11.aspx
