The black drip cookie design is my favorite of this set. To create these drips, I stood the iced cookie upright and used a brush to apply diluted airbrush food coloring and let it drip down. Once I was happy with the length of the drips, I placed the cookie flat to let the color dry.
The lace design shown below was piped on a dry royal icing cookie with black icing and a decorating tip 1. I used the brush embroidery technique to create the lacy texture in the scallops.
