Summertime Cookies - Peaches and Watermelon



Peaches and Watermelon are two of my favorite fruits this time of year. Sweet...juicy...delicious.  These aren't the juicy variety, but delicious all the same! Enjoy the season while it lasts!

To decorate the peaches:
1. Frost peach with royal icing colored with one part copper and two parts lemon yellow gel food coloring
2. Frost stem with chestnut-colored icing and the leaf with leaf green-colored icing
3. Let dry 8 hours.
4. In each of 2 small bowls, mix about 3 tablespoons of water with one drop of peach or orange gel color in one bowl and one drop red gel color in the other bowl.
5. With a food-only paintbrush, brush lightly all over the peach with peach colored water and then highlight the left side with red colored water.
6. Before the water dries, sprinkle all over with white sanding sugar.


Happy Summer!
