How cute is this pin?! It was so much fun to recreate this design! I used a template to make the pug cookie, which is available in my shop. The revenue from the template sales is going to Michelle so that she can be compensated for the use of her artwork.

Instructions
Pipe flowers on the flower nail with the pink stiff consistency royal icing and a decorating tip 101.
Use an edible ink marker to trace a template on a baked cookie.
Ice the cookie with white flood consistency royal icing and a decorating tip 3. Use a scribe tool to help shape the icing.
Allow the flowers and the cookie to dry completely (overnight is best).
To transfer the design onto the cookie, trace the template with an edible ink marker on a piece of tissue paper.
Place the tissue paper over the cookie and trace the design again with the edible ink marker. The ink will bleed through the tissue paper.
Pipe over the outlines with black medium consistency royal icing and a decorating tip 1. Allow the icing to dry for about an hour.
Mix gold luster dust with vodka or grain alcohol
Paint the black outlines with the gold mixture, avoiding the eyes.
Attach the flowers to the cookie with stiff consistency green icing.
Pipe leaves in between the flowers with the green icing and a decorating tip 352.
Mix peach food coloring with vodka or grain alcohol.
Paint the cheeks with the food coloring mixture.
