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.

These pie cookies are pretty simple, but if you don’t airbrush them they’ll be super, super simple. I like the airbrushed look and it’s not hard so we’ll decorate them together. We can enjoy pie all year so dive into this tutorial and have fun. You’ll also see a few mistakes I made while making them. They worked out, but I want to share them to show you how a mistake may not look the way we want, but it can still look good and taste delicious.

The best part is I’ll be making tutorials to encourage you and show you how to decorate. You can follow what I do or create your own version. Do you ever look at a tutorial and then spend hours looking for the cutter? I know I have and that won’t happen here because I’ll be making the cutters for us. Over the years many shops have opened and closed or discontinued some of their designs. That won’t happen here. If you need a cutter you’ll be able to find them and that makes me super excited!

I’ll be working morning, noon, and night until I get the cutters in the shop so please be patient with me. I’m so excited to share them with you and I thought this fun Frankenstein would be a great way to launch. There are a few more cutters available right now and I’ll be adding more as quickly as I can. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been doing. Right now, let’s get started with Frank! He’s not the only cutter in the shop and I’ll be adding more today.

You only need one color of royal icing and a few sprinkles to make these cookies. If you’re looking for a project for the kids this is the cookie for you.

Add a few sugar sprinkles and it will look like an amazing french fry. It’s the sweetest fry on earth! Let’s get started.

Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers of all time. Sunflowers are also at the top of that list and when we start talking about flower cookies, these two varieties always come to mind. If you have a good sugar cookie recipe, royal icing, and a simple design your cookies will be gorgeous and delicious! 

I hope you want to make some with me because here we go!
