Rilakkuma Cookies {Video Tutorial}

I was recently introduced to the world of Rilakkuma, whose name means "bear in relaxed mood". I could learn a thing or two from this guy.
My video tutorial on Rilakkuma cookies is part of a collaboration with a few of my favorite YouTube channels: Mosogourmet, Kawaiisweetworld, and EveryHappyThing. It's an honor to be a part of this project as I am a big fan of their work.

Rilakkuma-Colors
Blue: Wilton sky blue
Tan: Wilton brown + a touch of juniper green (I always add green to brown because I find that it is a little too pink on its own. Adding green helps to neutralize it.)
Yellow: Wilton golden yellow
Black: Americolor black
Pink: Wilton pink
Watch this video for the tutorial on how to decorate Rilakkuma cookies:
These cookies were made using my Orange Vanilla Spice recipe, which is available in my tutorial shop. I used flood consistency royal icing for the base, the dots and to fill in Rilakkuma's face. The black outline was drawn with edible ink marker and piped with medium consistency icing and the hearts were piped using stiff consistency icing. Read this post to learn about these three royal icing consistencies, which are the ones that I use most often when decorating cookies.

  3. Lovely, lovely, lovely!
    the your dots look so perfect. I am amazed by everything you do 🙂
    I recently purchased your royal icing recipe and would like to ask whether is possible to make a half batch by simply using half of the ingredients, and if the royal icing would still be a good royal icing!
    Thanks Amber!

  4. Hi Amber,
    You are brilliant! Love this guy. He is too adorable!
    BTW, I bought bacardi 151 and tried painting gold. It looked gorgeous! Going to buy the wilton brown and juniper green to make the brown. I used americolor ivory and warm brown. I want to give this a try now.

  6. I wonder how to bake cookies without burning the bottom,What should I use to put in the bake pan so not to burn the bottom of the cookies. I appreciate your help. Thanks,
    Maria

    1. Hi Maria! I put parchment paper on my sheet trays. It sounds like the problem is that the heat source in your oven is coming from the bottom and not baking the cookies evenly. I would recommend moving the tray up towards the top of the oven when baking cookies and place another sheet tray on the rack below the cookies to protect them from getting burned on the bottom. I hope that helps!
