Normally, I pipe my geometric patterns directly onto the cookie, but I will admit that this time I really did not feel like transferring all of those lines onto the cookie first. So I made royal icing transfers instead! This is obviously a much quicker technique, however, it is also very impractical. As you can see from the attached photos, the icing does not sit flush with the cookie and is VERY fragile and prone to breaking. But it does make for a pretty picture
Thank you, Lisa! All of those lines crisscrossing do help to add strength to the transfers, however, for someone who has a pretty steady hand when piping, I tend to be somewhat of a bull in a china shop when handling my cookies and transfers. I made sure to be SUPER careful while removing the transfers from the acetate and placing them on the cookies, and also while handling the cookies as the transfers are not "glued" down - I was too afraid that If I tried, I might break the transfers!
Hi Christine!! I just looked at the picture and knew instantly that you had to have been the one to design these amazing cookies!! They're so gorgeous and impeccably done, as always . Awesome work and Happy Easter to you and your family ♥♥
So far I visited here to see your work many times. I traced the lines with my pen, I watched them closely and far. The colors make 3 patterns very different. How interesting!
Christine, can I use your kaleidoscope patter to practice piping? May I ask how big are they? I am sooo interested.

These cookies are about 11cm (4.5") in diameter. This is just a common geometric pattern that I saw in many versions on the internet so I'm pretty sure that anyone can just use it freely. I thought of the colour patterns myself but I'm sure that there are others who have done the same patterns before me. I hope you do use this pattern. I would love to see what you come up with!
I like how you used the color to create different designs. Immaculate piping.
Unbelievable work.
Thank you so much, Pip! I love creating transfers. They are perfect for practicing and experimenting. I just place a sheet of acetate over a drawing and pipe. I always practice my string work patterns on acetate first. It's easy to clean up and I don't waste any cookies!
