DIRECTIONS
1.Prepare your dough following recipe instructions.
2.Cut out your cookies with the egg-shaped cookie cutter from your shape shifter set. Then, use your curved line cutter to trim off the bottom to create your preferred rainbow shape and size. Bake and cool.
3.Prepare icing following a royal icing recipe instructions.
4.Tint 1/6 of your royal icing red, 1/6 of it orange, 1/6 of it yellow, 1/6 of it green, 1/6 of light blue, and leave the other 1/6 white. All of these should be outline consistency. Outline consistency should be toothpaste-like.
5.Separate and thin half of your white royal icing to be flood consistency by adding small amounts of water until you get it to the right consistency. This should be more of a shampoo-like consistency.
6.Prepare seven Sweet Sugarbelle piping bags and fill them with your different icings.
TIP: Be careful to keep your flood consistency white icing separated from your outline consistency white icing.
7.Cut 1/6 of the tip off of your outline consistency white bag and outline all of your cookies. Allow them to dry for 20 to 30 minutes before continuing.
8.Now it is time to fill in your cookies! Grab your bag of flood consistency white icing, and cut off 1/6 of the tip. Fill your cookie in, being careful to not overfill, and make sure to stay within the outline you created before. Allow your cookies to dry for 2 to 4 hours before adding final embellishments.
TIP: Use the pick tool from the basic tool set to smooth out any inconsistencies if needed.
9.Finally, carefully pipe your rainbow details. Starting from the outside and working your way in, pipe your rainbow arches! Start with red, then orange, yellow, green and blue. Allow your cookie 5 to 10 hours to fully dry.
