Instructions

  1. Cut the cookies from a chilled sheet of cookie dough. Bake and cool the cookies according to the recipe.

  3. Ice the cracked portion with dark gray flood consistency royal icing and a tip 1.
  4. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing. Allow the icing to dry for about an hour.
  5. Ice the egg with white flood consistency royal icing and a tip 3. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing. Allow the icing to dry completely (overnight is best).
  6. Use the template and the scribe tool to trace the eyes and beaks inside the cracked area in the egg.
  7. Apply a little bit of white flood consistency icing around the eyes and brush it with a thin decorator brush to create a glowing effect.
  8. Fill in the eyes with white flood consistency icing and a tip 2. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing.
  9. Fill in the beaks with yellow flood consistency icing and a tip 2. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing.

  16. Paint shadows in the faces with the food grade charcoal mixed with alcohol with a thin brush.

  22. Pipe feet with the pink icing. Use the scribe tool to help shape the icing.
  23. Pipe designs on the wings with pink and purple icing. Use the scribe tool to help make very tiny dots by dabbing the scribe tool into a dish of the icing and then touching it to the wing.
  24. Add more color to the fur with the edible paint mixture, if necessary.
  25. Pipe a light pink collar and use the scribe tool to help shape the icing.
