Sugar Cookies for Cole's teacher.

The "12-step" sugar cookie. The cookie are painfully easy to produce, but they take forever to decorate. The fondant is rolled and cut with an Ateco Daisy Cutter a size smaller than the cookie then "hand" dressed with the leading edge of the same cutter. The  groves are cut individually with a pairing knife. The cut-out is then airbrushed with a fuchsia, then the royal icing swoop is added. the next coat of violet is sprayed at just the edge of the cut-out, with a bit of over-spray. At this point the icing begins to absorb the colors - it's magic, changing the hue from that of the fondant. The smaller daisy inset is sprayed with light pink separately then attached to the larger. The center round is dotted with royal icing and attached. The whole assembly is then sprayed with pearl, changing the tone and hue again. Then the center is lightly sprayed with silver to accent the dots. And finally the the assemble is attached to the short dough cookie base.
