Pie dish:
  • Start by drawing your design with a food-safe marker. 
  • Subsequent, use the turquoise define consistency royal icing to stipulate the pie dish. 
  • Flood the pie dish with the flood consistency of turquoise royal icing and use the turkey lacer to clean it out and to pop the air bubbles.
  • Pipe a little bit of the ivory shade on the edges of the pie and unfold it out with a paintbrush. You need this half to be flat on the cookie. It’ll give your cookie depth.
  • Use the white food-gel shade combined with a little bit water to splatter it on the pie dish. I like utilizing a fan brush and a scribe software for this. Simply flick the watered-down meals gel on the cookie. The video will present you in order for you a visible.
Time so as to add a little bit airbrushing to our pie:

  • I didn’t add this to the provision listing, however a small paper towel will aid you management the place the airbrush spray will go. Reduce it right into a small piece so it’s manageable. 
  • Spray each side of the flat ivory shade with the Completely Brown Airbrush Shade and use the paper towel to guard the pie dish. Once more, the video will assist present you ways easy that is.
  • Define and flood the highest of the pie with the ivory-colored royal icing.
  • Right here is the enjoyable half. You may airbrush the highest of the pie with the Completely Brown Edible Airbrush Shade from The Cookie Countess. The enjoyable half is you possibly can airbrush whereas the icing is moist. Simply watch out and don’t pull the set off all the way in which to the again of the airbrush gun and don’t maintain the tip too near the moist icing. The air will push the icing and that’s what makes it enjoyable, however that’s what can mess up your icing. Airbrush the underside and the edges. I prefer to spay the highest as effectively. It makes the pie look good and baked. If you happen to don’t need to airbrush it whereas the icing is moist let it dry after which add the airbrush shade.
  • When you get the airbrush shade the way in which you need let it dry for some time after which add the border of the pie crust and let it dry for a a short while. 
  • Add a top level view to separate the highest of the pie and the border of the crust.
Time to make this a cherry pie:

  • Use a element paintbrush to color some drops on the highest of the pie crust with the Tulip Crimson food-gel shade. I informed you I’d inform you about my errors. This was one in every of them. The subsequent time I make a pie with drop shapes on the prime the drops will likely be royal icing transfers. I’ll add them to the weblog quickly so that you received’t have to color this step. All you’ll should do is pipe the drops, look ahead to them to dry, after which add them to your pie crust. I promise I’ll add them to the weblog quickly. 
  • When you add the purple it’s essential to add a white line with the Vibrant White food-gel shade. This would be the spotlight element.
Right here is one other mistake I made.
  • I used a element brush to color the ivory food-gel shade combined with a little bit water across the purple drops. Not an issue however I didn’t do an amazing job of portray. I used a humid brush to mix the ivory shade and it labored. 
  • Then I supposed so as to add a little bit turquoise food-gel shade to the highest of the pie dish and I ended up utilizing the ivory shade. It was alright however I’m going to make this cookie once more with the royal icing drops after which add the right airbrush colours to all the correct locations. 
  • One other mistake I made was making an attempt so as to add a little bit water to the paintbrush whereas the comb and paper towel had been over the cookie. I attempted to video the method and ended up spraying my cookie. Once you’ve added airbrush shade to the cookie it isn’t a good suggestion so as to add water. It makes a splatter impact which ended up working for this cookie, however once more, not what I had deliberate.
All’s effectively that ends effectively:

If you happen to take a detailed look you possibly can see the splatter on prime of the pie crust which type of makes it look a little bit practical. I prefer it. Nevertheless, I do want I’d have used the blue meals gel shade on the pie dish. oh effectively, it’s nonetheless a easy and lovable pie cookie and it was scrumptious! I hope you get pleasure from some turkey, a slice of pie, and a pie cookie this Thanksgiving. I’ll be again quickly with extra cookies. 

Bear hugs,
