The fact that I can now bring ANY creation I want to life is bringing my cookie game to whole new levels, but more of that love story later. Finally, I’m ready to start sharing some of my designs with you guys! I super super promise a Silhouette Alta 101 post is coming really soon.

Step 1: Print your pinata cookie cutter (or use one of your own!) Make pinata cookies. (Like duh, right?)

Step 2: Use a stencil or the projector template to draw lines with an edible marker where your colors should separate. If your using the projector template just draw a line right across the bottom of the rows.

Step 3: Although I separated steps 3 and 4 to show you how it goes, they really need to be done right after another. You want to work while your icing is still wet so keep that in mind. First use your light pink outline icing to outline the cookie and pipe the lines. These lines aren’t a MUST but I really felt like they helped keep my entire pinata cookie clean looking.

Step 4: As soon as you are done outlining the pink of the pinata cookie, begin to fill each row with color, work quickly! Then use your scribe to drag a little of the color from the bottom section the upper section in little strokes all the way across the line. Then repeat at every new color. You want to work quickly for this process because your icing will begin to set. When you’re all done with the lines feel free to drop a little pink in for the little guy’s cheek and a black sugar pearl for his eye!

And that’s just how simple it is to make pinata cookies. I’m going crazy with excitement waiting to see you guys make your own pinata cookie cutters! Don’t forget to TAG ME!
