About this
A Cookie Connection clip by Di Art Sweets showcasing a Halloween cookie set titled "Skulls and Pumpkins!" It presents a gallery of jack-o'-lantern, skull, ghost, bat, and witch's hat cookies made with stenciling, airbrushing, wet-on-wet marbling, and hand-drawn line details. The page is largely site navigation plus a short comment thread praising the set, with no written tutorial or step-by-step party plan.
The plan
- Bake and leave cookies un-iced so bare shapes (skull, pumpkin, ghost, bat, witch's hat) serve as the base
- Stencil designs onto bare skull cookies
- Airbrush stencil a naked skull cookie as a design element
- Emboss a naked skull cookie for texture
- Add hand-drawn thin black line details to finished cookies
- Draw fine black line details with an edible marker
- Add wet-on-wet purple detail to the bat cookie
- Add a wet-on-wet eye detail
- Give a cookie bloodshot eyes
- Pipe a marbled wet-on-wet star on the witch's hat
- Add a "boo" bunting detail to the ghost cookie
