The spots on these ladybugs are piped with black flood consistency royal icing, but I took advantage of the chocolate cookie dough and left some of it showing rather than applying more black icing.
I added a little bit of leaf green and rose pink to blue icing to create this particular shade of blue on the daisy cookies. A star tip 16 is perfect for adding texture to the flower center!
