Happy and fun octopus!

Last weekend I was asked to make the cookies for an under the sea baby shower.
The mother to be loves octopuses, the entire nursery is wonderfully painted with
ocean theme and several octopuses. I took some photos of the room and
then went back to my studio and began to design the cookies.
Normally, I prefer parchment cones, however because the entire cookie
is piped using a flood consistency, the disposable piping bags
are tighter around the nozzles. The icing will not leak from the bag!

Supplies needed for this project:
Equipment:
• Piping nozzles
• -#0, PMe
• -#1, PME
• -#1.5, PME
• _#2
• -#3
• Disposable bags
• Scriber tool
• Damp cloth
• paper towel
• Octopus cookie cutter
Materials:
• Sugar cookies
• Royal icing
• Wilton Color Right color system
• -Pink
• -Blue
• -Black
You may find the supplies at Shop 5th Avenue Cakes

Colour recipe:

For the filigree colour:
3 drops pink
1 drop blue
1/2-cup royal icing
Mix until the colour is completely combined.
For the all over colour:
Remove about 1-tablespoon of the pre made filigree colour
Add 1/2-cup royal icing.

Dedicated to the strongest woman I knew..My Grandma

English royal icing over-piping has been around since 1900, the technique fell into the background in the late 80’s

Over-piping fun!

Over piped string-work

European over piping with royal icing is an amazing skill to know, the beautiful dimensions are breathtaking.

If you want to pipe beautiful cakes using Joseph Lambeth method

you need to commit yourself to practice.  Pipe with royal icing several times a week.

Covering a cake board and propping the board upright is a perfect way to practice without

spending money on a cake dummy (or baking a cake).

Once you feel comfortable than move to a covered cake dummy, and finally an actual cake.

Here is a wonderful video showing the steps to create the cake above!

I love the fact you only need  a few supplies to pipe English/European over-piping.

To find the a list of supplies and the prefect royal icing recipe visit:

Of course for your Lambeth cake to be stunning you have practice!
