Earlier this year I made cookies for a 4-year-old’s birthday party with a dinosaur/shark/tea party theme. Isn’t that the cutest thing ever?? The cookies were decorated with wet-on-wet roses (like the ones in this set), dino footprints, and shark silhouettes.
When one of my subscribers requested a shark tutorial, the birthday cookie set immediately came to mind and I used some of those elements to create this set of shark cookies.
I didn’t pipe the sharks freehand – I created a template and traced it onto the icing with my scribe tool. You can get access to my template by becoming a subscriber on Patreon.
My subscribers also have access to my Premium Video Tutorials, which includes a detailed tutorial on how to pipe roses using the wet-on-wet royal icing technique.
