How to Make Sweet Little Turkey Face Sugar Cookies Video:<\/p>\n
Enjoy the video!
\nLet\u2019s decorate!<\/p>\n
Bake your cookies and let them cool completely before you decorate them. I know these may look like little turkeys, but sugar cookies are way better at room temperature with the icing on top of the cookie and not running over the sides.
\nWhile they cool you can make your royal icing.
\nDraw the eyes, beak, and gobble wobbly thing (wattle if you want me to be correct) with a food-safe marker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Time for the fun part!<\/p>\n
Now we get to decorate. Begin by outlining the parts of the face.\u00a0
\nFlood the beak and use a toothpick, turkey lacer, or a scribe tool to smooth out the icing and pop any air bubbles you see.
\nLet the yellow royal icing dry for a little while before you add the airbrush color.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The beak is the AmeriColor Lemon Yellow, but when you think of a turkey its beak seems to have a little orange tint. If you airbrush it with Outrageously Orange Edible Airbrush Color it will give it a nice turkey look. If you don\u2019t have an airbrush system don\u2019t stress. Add a little vodka or water to some food-gel color and carefully paint the edges. It works like a charm!
\nNext, flood the wattle and pop those air bubbles.\u00a0
\nLet it dry for a bit before you add the Royal Red Velvet Edible Airbrush Color.\u00a0
\nYou\u2019ll need something like a paper towel or a piece of parchment paper to protect the beak from the red airbrush spray. You can see how simple this is in the video.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s help this turkey see the world!<\/p>\n
Flood one eye with the white royal icing.
\nAdd a black royal icing transfer or you can use black royal icing for the dot.
\nLet the white icing dry until it forms a crust so the eyes will look separate instead of like one big eye. I don\u2019t know, one big eye might look pretty cool. Do whatever makes you happy.\u00a0\u00a0
\nAfter the royal icing on the eye forms a crust you can flood the other eye and add the black dot or royal icing transfer.
\nAdd a white dot on each of the eyes.<\/p>\n
Almost done!<\/p>\n
I forgot to add the two nostrils in the video and we all know these cute little turkeys need to breathe. Just pipe two little dots on the beak and you\u2019re all done.\u00a0 Thanks for decorating with me! It was a gobbley good time!
\nIf you want the cookie cutter you can find it here. I\u2019ll be adding a lot more cutters each day so be sure to visit often.\u00a0
