June marks the official start to summertime. Since our travel plans are altered this summer, we are traveling to the beach via cookie decorating. We went with a soft pastel color scheme for these summertime beach cookies. While jellyfish are never fun to come across at the beach, they sure are cute cookies to make. Especially with their colorful tentacles. But by far, my favorite sea creature is the sea horse. It’s a delicate and beautiful creature, and of course, it doesn’t hurt that it’s the only male fish to give birth to its babies.
Outline and fill the octopus head and add a few squiggly lines for the tentaclesAdd polka dots and more tentacles in different colors.Using a different color for the seahorse, outline and floodTrace the outline of the seahorse with a different color and add the lines for the scales and cheek bone.The iconic pink for the flamingo, add orange legsGive her wings and she will fly, plus add an eyeFill the shellDraw the outline of the shell and add the swirl at the topTrace the outline and flood the star fishWorking from the center, add a large dot, then add dots so each one is smaller spreading out to the star fish legs Outline and flood the shellWhile the icing is still wet, add lines lines in a half circle shape across the shell.
