Starry Sky Cookie

Created with the theme of Tanabata, a Japanese festival.
Tanabata is the night of July 7,
 when Orihime and Hikoboshi cross the Milky Way and meet only once a year.
 Write your wishes on a piece of paper called a strip of paper and decorate it on bamboo bamboo.
Bamboo is decorated with many decorations in addition to strips.
This work uses bamboo leaves and their decorations as motifs.

So pretty, and I love the context you provided about the Japanese festival. Can you tell us a little more about the technique(s) you used to create the marbled effect? Was it the wet-on-wet technique or something else? And did you use rice paper for the leaves or another edible paper? Thanks in advance!

Love these and thank you for explaining the meaning of Tanabata fest. I love Japanese culture very much, this story sounds so romantic. Have a lovely summer! 🌟🌟🌟

Dear Julia, thank you for your question.
The marble part is a mixture of water,
 powdered sugar and corn syrup
I'm using glaze icing. Navy, uncolored,
Paint with three light purple colors,
At the end, I drew a starry sky in white.
For the leaves, rice paper was used and the shape was created with an open sheet.
I used a hood dryer to dry it.
If you find it helpful
I'm happy.
