I have an announcement! I\u2019m sharing this tutorial on How to Make Fun Frankenstein Cookies with Royal Icing and I\u2019m opening my Bearfoot Baker Cookie-Cutter Shop today! I\u2019m so excited I don\u2019t know what to say. I\u2019ve been working on cutters for you for quite some time and I\u2019ll be adding more of them to the shop almost every day! Be sure to stop and see what\u2019s new and if you want me to make something you want please let me know! Did I mention how excited I am?
\nThe best part is I\u2019ll be making tutorials to encourage you and show you how to decorate. You can follow what I do or create your own version. Do you ever look at a tutorial and then spend hours looking for the cutter? I know I have and that won\u2019t happen here because I\u2019ll be making the cutters for us. Over the years many shops have opened and closed or discontinued some of their designs. That won\u2019t happen here. If you need a cutter you\u2019ll be able to find them and that makes me super excited!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be working morning, noon, and night until I get the cutters in the shop so please be patient with me. I\u2019m so excited to share them with you and I thought this fun Frankenstein would be a great way to launch. There are a few more cutters available right now and I\u2019ll be adding more as quickly as I can. I can\u2019t wait to show you what I\u2019ve been doing. Right now, let\u2019s get started with Frank! He\u2019s not the only cutter in the shop and I\u2019ll be adding more today.<\/p>\n

Royal Icing Colors:
\nYou will need an outline and flood-consistency royal icing for this cookie. If you don\u2019t want to make two different consistencies you can use a 15-Second Royal Icing \u00a0I personally do both depending on my mood. Sometimes using two consistencies is easier for me because that is how I learned and what I\u2019m comfortable using. Do whatever makes you happy!<\/p>\n

\nHow to Make Fun Frankenstein Cookies for Halloween Video:<\/p>\n
Enjoy the video!
\nLet\u2019s Make Frankenstein Cookies:<\/p>\n
Begin by drawing the face on your Fun Frankenstein cookie. It\u2019s not hard if you take it one line at a time. Feel free to watch the video to see it in action. Just take a deep breath and draw Frankie! You\u2019ve got this!
\nNext, use the food-safe marker to draw the hair, and mouth, and to add the black around the eyes. We aren\u2019t going to add any royal icing to the eye area. We\u2019re only going to use the food-safe marker. The marker will make it look as if the eyes are standing out. It\u2019s a really cool way to give your cookie some dimension. If you\u2019re looking for a good marker I like The Cookie Countess food-safe marker. It covered the cookie well and didn\u2019t bleed into the white or green icing around the area I colored.
\nNow it\u2019s time to add the green outline on the edges of Frankensteins\u2019 face and on the lines you drew.<\/p>\n
Flood the face with the green flood-consistency royal icing.
\nPlace the cookies in front of a fan to dry the surface before you start to airbrush them. These were dried for about 45 minutes. I wanted to make sure the top layer of the icing formed a crust before I started. If you want you can let the icing dry completely before you airbrush. Just make sure the surface is dry enough so the air from the airbrush won\u2019t damage the icing. If it\u2019s not dry enough the air will crack the icing and it will look a little creepy. I guess that would be okay on a Halloween cookie, but I don\u2019t think Fun Frankenstein would look fun. He would look a little cracked up!! lol<\/p>\n
Airbrush around the face, eye area, mouth, and the hairline.
\nPipe the nose with the outline consistency of green royal icing. You can make four dots and connect them.
\nThen, pipe over it with the green flood consistency. Be careful and don\u2019t overflood. Just add some to the top and use the turkey lacer or scribe tool to smooth it out.<\/p>\n
Time to paint:<\/p>\n
Mix a little black food-gel color with a tiny amount of water and paint the lightning bolt on his forehead and eyebrows above the eyes.<\/p>\n
Outline and airbrush:<\/p>\n
Pipe green lines on the ears and around the mouth area.
\nAirbrush the lines you just piped.<\/p>\n
Here is another reason I like to use outline and flood consistency royal icing. You can use the outline consistency to outline the eyes and mouth and then pipe some in those areas. Then you can use the flood consistency to fill them. The outline consistency will help the icing maintain its fullness and help prevent sinking as the icing dries.<\/p>\n
Outline and flood the hair with the black royal icing.
\nI don\u2019t have a photo of it but you can outline and flood the bolts with the black icing on the side of his head. Just follow the edge of the bolt and then add the flood consistency.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re almost done!<\/p>\n
Fill the eye and mouth area with the white flood-consistency royal icing.
\nWhile the eye icing is wet add a black dot to each eye.
\nLet the cookie dry in front of a fan for a while.<\/p>\n
Last but not least:<\/p>\n
Paint the lines with some black food-gel color mixed with a little water for the teeth. A detail brush is highly recommended for the best results.<\/p>\n
Isn\u2019t he cute?<\/p>\n
How cool is this Fun Frankenstein cookie? I had a blast making him and I\u2019ll be back with more cookie tutorials soon. Oh, by the way, if you want to make the moon cookie here is the How to Make Adorable Bat Royal Icing Transfers tutorial with FREE Printables. It\u2019ll show you how to make clouds and airbrush the moon. Stars are being airbrushed in the tutorial, but you can airbrush circles for the moon instead.
\nBe sure to check back soon because I\u2019ll be adding cookie cutters to the shop. I hope you\u2019re ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I\u2019m super excited and so thankful for your support!
\nPS- I\u2019ve added the links for the cookie cutters for the How to Make a Simple Ghost Cookie with Sparkling Eyes and How to Make a Cute Skull Cookie with Fun Eyes in their tutorials if you want to check them out. Love you all and sending you big bear hugs!!!
