My grandmother has a small collection of napkins with so many different beautiful patterns. I spotted a blue and white design at her house and she gave me some to take home to use in the video of these lemon cookies decorated with royal icing. The design on the napkins is the inspiration behind the blue and white elements in this set of decorated cookies.

I worked on a lemon-themed bridal shower order shortly after creating this set, so this was a great way for me to test out some of my ideas. The small lemons are royal icing transfers that I piped onto a piece of wax paper. Once the royal icing transfers were dry, I peeled them off of the wax paper and applied them to the cookies.
