WATERCOLOUR GEO COOKIES By Robyn Salisbury of Mad Hen Cakes There are many ways a watercolour effect can be achieved in the cake and biscuit world, but this is my favourite. This blending technique allows two different colours to create a new colour without seeing hard lines. The paint will feather and diffuse like magic and no effect will be the same. Personally I find pure joy in watching the colours blend. Have fun and expriment. This tutorial is creating gem biscuits but the possibilities are numerous; think brooding galaxies, delicate flower petals, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Have fun and experiment! You will need: • Gem shaped biscuits. If you do not have cutters you can make a template and hand-cut the dough. I cut the corners off my square shaped dough to create a gem shape. • Fondant or royal icing to cover the biscuits. Regardless of which icing you choose to use, the icing does not need to be dry before spraying. • Pastel Blue, Pink Gelato and Pastel Yellow Sweet Sticks Edible Art Paint • Rose spirit • 3 small spray bottles. They can be found in variety stores. • Dropper • Royal icing and piping bag
