If from the sky fall lemon, learn to do lemonade….a Salsa Song lyric, that represent the way to let life flow…. In this time of quarantine is essencial that we keep our mind positive and face life with faith.  Pleas be safe, stay home.

 

This cookies has been made with several media and technique.

1. Covered lemons with stiff royal icing for achieving texture

2. Used of Isomalt to create splash of lemon juice

3. Airbrush Lemon and petal dust to enhance lemons 

4. Use of wafer paper to do foliage and lemon blossom

 

I loved doing this piece, it was on mind mind for a long time, but i did not have the oportunity to execute it.  I was a great challenge stuck the tree lemons together, next time i will not let the royal icing dries and then put it together, I will rather place them while royal icing still soft.

How fabulously creative dear Andrea @Andrea Costoya!! Your gravity defying work is wonderful to look at and try to figure out how you did it . Thank you for the complete explanation of your process...pure genius! Love how you created your lemons and the use of wafer paper for the leaves is perfect! Is it difficult to work with the isomalt so that you have enough time to make changes with the ball tool? It dries so quickly. You have to work fast. It's magnificent cookie art my dear ❤️❤️

This is a fantastic entry. Your step-by-step instructions with photos are perfect, yet still I have to study this to make sure that it is a cookie! From the details of your lemons with their wonderful texture and convincing leaves to the "splash" of juice flowing down - all show the thought and planning that went into creating this fabulous piece of sugar art.

Dear, the isomalt is just to find the right timing, you need to be test with the ball, that, does not stick, and at the same time, is hard enough to stay put an not errase the design. And also keep in mind that the outside of the cookie dries faster than the center.

Stunning, Andrea! The 3-D lemons are amazing! I read the comment but I almost missed the photos in the attachments. Loved the step by step. 🍋🍋🍋

Thanks❤️.  Is very simple. when you have the lemons together, just heat the isomalt on top of the splach with the torch and the place it on top, hold it until isomalt cools down….

Thanks so much for the explanation about the timing when working with isomalt. I understand what you mean about shaping the isomalt with the ball tool. Do you use a heat torch to "remove" the cloudiness or bubbles in the isomalt? Getting cloudy has been one of my challenges in the past . Just picked up a heat torch and want to experiment with it . Thanks for your help!!! Your work is really amazing and so creative ❤️❤️
