I know it’s not quite time to make Easter cookies right now, but these jelly bean cookie decorations aren’t actually cookies. They’re royal icing candy decorations and we need to make them before Easter. They’re great for stress-free decorating.

It may seem weird, but I promise, now’s the time to get started, and the best way to make them is to use your leftover royal icing from the cookies you’re making now. I have several candy decorations planned for you, and I thought I’d start with jelly bean cookie decorations because they’re fun and colorful.

I also have a cookie planned for you, but I wanted to show you the decorations that go with them first because we all know having a few cookie decorations makes decorating cookies easier.

Then, bake some circle sugar cookies, outline and flood them with royal icing, and drop the wedges in place while the icing is wet. It’s so simple and in the end, you’ll have super cute circle lemon and lime cookies.

Happy Little Snowman Royal Icing Transfers

Have you ever lived in a place where the weather has a mind of its own? If not, you need to visit East Tennessee. Let me paint a little picture for you. It’s winter and last week we had a day where the temperature was 77 degrees. Two days later we had eight inches of snow that knocked our power out for several days. As I sat in the living room (recovering from Covid, yep, Alan and I both were recovering from Covid when the power went out) playing Alan one million games of Gin Rummy, I was thinking about work. I love my job and all I wanted to do was play with royal icing, but I didn’t have power or any royal icing on hand. All I could do was daydream about happy little snowman royal icing transfers.

As soon as the power came back on I scrubbed the house, washed all the sheets, blankets, and towels, bleached as many surfaces as I could to kill all the possible Covid things, and then I some snowmen. I was so happy. It was the perfect way to end ten days of quarantine and days without power.
