“S” for Silvia | Manu

A virtual cookie for my friend Silvia on her Birthday, highly inspired by a pendant she has received about 40 years ago on her First Communion (if I remember well!😊😊😊).  We grew up together and she has been wearing it for years, so it was really impressed in my mind. I asked her to send me a picture, hoping she didn’t imagine I wanted to “cookie” it.

She still had it somewhere and here it is in its cookie version! I piped the border in yellow though.

The flowers are wet on wet...

...then once the icing was dry I handpainted the outline. 

Oh my! This is SO beautiful!!!!! You did an amazing job of recreating it. Thank you for sharing the technique! 

Beautiful @Manu biscotti decorati!! Love the idea of using little flowers, graduating in size, to create the letter . You're just so clever with lots and lots of amazing ideas my dear...what will you come up with next? ...lots of hugs ❤️❤️❤️

Manu, this is so simple and beautiful!!! Love the colors 💙💛💙

Thank you, Christine @Sweet Prodigy! I like flowers with 5 petals. I asked her to send me that picture months ago, then she sent it to me few weeks ago with the one with the knots framed, that inspired my latest tutorial. Just in time for her B-Day!!!!

a touching gift and beautiful work

Thank you, @Noaa!💙 I couldn’t nail the same shade of blue, but I am happy with that! I texted the pic to my friend, with the B-Day wishes, but she hasn’t seen it yet😊

Thank you @telebaker!

Manu this is beautiful! 

Amazing as always! Love the idea of wet on wet. It's not as time consuming as hand painting. Happy birthday to your friend!

Thank you, @Ryoko ~Cookie Ave.. Yes, she was, but the cookie is again virtual this year. I liked this wet on wet experiment, it is leading to new ideas!
