Mini Easter Egg Butter Cookies

I made these tiny (1 inch) butter cookies for Vienna to take to daycare and share with her teachers and friends for Easter.

I didn't have a mini egg cutter so used an oval and pinched the top edges. I then used royal icing to do wet on wet icing for the first time. I loved the way the colours melted into each other - it was so sweet. They weren't all perfect but for a first time I was pretty happy. I think I will keep an eye out for a mini egg cutter though - less steps just makes things easier!



I packaged 5 each into plastic shot glasses and added a cellophane circle and rubber band (I use pre-cut circles sold at the supermarket for preserves/jam etc they are just a few dollars and I love that they are ready to go).



Then found an Easter clip art in similar colours, printed it out on linen paper, added the 'From Vienna' and used a glue dot to stick them to the top.


SUPER CUTE!

Cute Food - Easter Treats

I assembled these cute Easter treats using marshmellows, the peppermint creams I made and mini Easter eggs.

Vienna gave one to her Daddy and we shared the love by delivering some to the Kemp family and to our neighbours.

You can't see in the photo but the marshmellow under the chicken has an Easter egg drawn on it.

Unfortunately a chicken was harmed in the making of these creations - oh dear!

Cute Food - By Vienna

We have been drawing on marshmellows for Easter - well, I did most of them but Vienna did make her first ever cute food for her Daddy!

She learnt from the experience that: the orange food colouring wipes off easily, the blue not so much!
