Dani Brazier from Blue Door Bakery (www.bluedoorbakery.co.uk) transforms the simple cookie into a charming and elegant biscuit with delightful pastel colouring…

YOU WILL NEED

• plain cookies

• royal icing

• piping bags

• colours – pink, green, blue.

• cocktail sticks

1 Begin by making some royal icing. You need flood consistency.

2 Add the royal icing into a mixer with some water. Mix on high for 3-4 minutes. It needs to be a thick consistency, but runny enough to slowly drip off the paddle attachment.
