Here is the water bottle that inspired the strawberry gingham cookie design. We saw this water bottle at Marshalls and Sidney just HAD to have it! And of course I HAD to turn the design into a cookie š
To make the gingham design I piped 3 colors of royal icing, but you can also do this design by painting it instead of piping it. Painting the design gives a neater result, but you have to be very precise with your paint brush. I find it easier to pipe the icing and shape it with the scribe tool.
You can find tutorials for painting a gingham pattern in the Cookie Art Club.
