  • Begin by making your favorite green royal icing for your fun shamrock royal icing transfers.
  • Next, outline and flood the shamrocks. If you want one solid shamrock then outline the edges and flood the entire thing all at once. If you want your shamrock leaves to look separate you need out outline them and flood every other one and let it dry for a few minutes before you flood the one beside it.

Time to Airbrush:

  • I love The Cookie Countess Airbrush System. Load a little of the airbrush color and gently airbrush around the edges. It’s not super simple because the color wants to go on the leaves instead of in the seams of the shamrock. Don’t give up. You can do it and the airbrush adds a lot to the clovers. 
  • Once the shamrocks dry, remove them from the cellophane bags and store them in an airtight container away from the sun.
