Fall is here! What better way to celebrate than to bake, jump in leaves, and carve pumpkins. This white & gold lace pumpkin is simple and would make a thoughtful and tasty gift. Want to learn how to make this sweet treat? Follow the steps below!
Materials needed:
~ Baked pumpkin shaped sugar cookies
~ Royal Icing
~ Brown gel food coloring
~ Edible gold luster dust
~ Food safe paint brush
~ Scribe
~ Round piping tip
~ Piping bags
~ Piping coupler
For this simple design, you only need one color - brown. Begin with mixing a small amount of brown medium consistency royal icing. Next, mix the white royal icing into a medium consistency. You'll also want to mix some white icing into a toothpaste like consistency - this will be for the designs. The amount really depends on how many cookies you're decorating but you can always mix more! Put the mixed royal icing into separate piping bags with couplers and make sure to use round piping tips.
Step 1
Make sure your cookie is completely cool before decorating.
Step 2
Using the white royal icing, pipe the outer left, outer right, and middle parts of the pumpkin. You can use your scribe to lightly scratch lines to help guide where to place the icing. Let sit for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 3
Fill in the rest of the pumpkin with the white royal icing. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
Using the brown icing, pipe in the stem. Allow all of the royal icing to dry until completely hardened. I like to wait 24 hours so that the icing is completely dry. That way if a mistake is made while piping a decoration, it's easy to scrape it off.
Step 5
Next, use the white toothpaste consistency icing and the #0 piping tip. Make any type of pattern that is easily repeatable and place in arching stripes down the pumpkin.
There you have it, a classic laced pumpkin!
