How to Make a 3-D Easter Basket Cookie

It’s already Easter in the Recipes for a Sweet Life kitchen! This week, I return to cookies with an all-cookie and icing Easter basket dressed with SugarVeil’s new needlepoint lace and a tiny fondant “Happy Easter” plaque. In this video, I’ve filled my baskets with candy eggs and sanding sugar, but you could also fill them with an iced cupcake and/or my marshmallow bunnies, which will debut on YouTube next week!

The dummy's cup is also novel! I felt like making a basket, too!

Thanks!

Another clever and very pretty creation. 

I'm impressed by the fairly real time decoration and assembly processes in your videos.  Allowing for drying time, they give an approximate  idea how long it will take to complete the project. 

Thanks Julia!

Thanks - I struggle with the video length, so it's good to know you appreciate the quasi real-time nature of them. I would like them to be shorter, but with the way I shoot (hired crew and no voiceover), it's hard to edit them much shorter given the intricacy of the projects. When I voiceover, I can get them shorter, but this creates more costly editing for my crew, so I am not sure it's financially viable for me to produce that way.

Love it Julia!!!

Thanks!

Those baskets are really nice. I love the ferns and the wp ribbons, and I am in love with that sugarveil mold... of course all the little details make this project peculiar.

I agree with pip about the video length. Your videos are just perfect, a pleasure to watch, time runs quickly, no time to get bored, clear explanations, no monotone voice, chance to enjoy every passage. Even when you go back to something you already explained in another video, you do in such a quick and clear way that it's a pleasure to refresh it. But maybe this is your style, dry and straight to the point. I think there's a lot of work behind, though it all looks very natural. I wouldn't struggle to make them shorter.... I've been watching videos of 2min length and got bored after 20 sec.

Thanks for the input - much appreciated!
