Lemonade cookies
This sweet lemonade cookie collection made by Pam at Cookie Crazie just screams summertime! The lemon, lemonade and stand designs are superb, while the incorporation of pink hues from strawberries and cherries add an extra pop to the entire decorated cookie set. Rather than the popular medium of royal icing, Pam instead works with glaze icing to decorate cookies. The details are finished off with the use of a mixture of soft gel paste and almond extract hand painted over the glaze, along with edible markers. Check out the lemonade pitcher & glass tutorial for detailed instructions.
