I would definitely wear these floral bathing suit cookies! Wouldn't you?? I decorated them with wet-on-wet royal icing roses and piped a ruffle along the neckline with a petal tip 101. The hats are decorated with a basket weave pattern to give them a realistic texture.

This bathing suit cookie cutter has gotten a lot of use since I bought it a couple of months ago. This is the third design that I’ve made with it so far and I’m sure there will be more to come!
You can see my candy cane striped bathing suit cookies here and my 80s inspired animal print bathing suit cookies here.
