I just love the way the Easter eggs turned out! Again, I used the small open star tip to alternate the pink and yellow colors, and then uses the same tip as the Easter bunny to make the horizontal lines. It breaks the pattern up a little bit, and I finished if off with some sprinkles.
For the carrots, simply frost the bottom half with white frosting then immediately press it into a pile of orange sugar sprinkles. It’s definitely a technique I use when I am looking to bust out a few quick cookies.
The mini chicks. Are they not the cutest?! Start by drawing an outline around the outside of the cookie. These are frosted in horizontal and vertical lines back and forth continuously piping in one motion (as best as possible). I did use little orange sprinkles for the feet and beak and sugar pearls for the eyes.
Seriously, the open star tips are my favorite for decorating sugar cookies. It’s generally quick and super easy and there’s so many ways you can use this tip, including mini flowers or florets. Since you save so much time with the Krusteaz sugar cookie mix, you’ll have even more time to decorate your cookies
