CUTTERS: Pumpkin pie slice and So Very Thankful Cutter from Simply Renee Sweets

  • COLORS YOU WILL NEED:
  • White Icing – outline and flood
  • Ivory Icing – outline and flood
  • Pumpkin – outline and flood
  • Light blue (wedgewood – americolor) – outline and flood

Step 1:  Outline the crust of the pie in ivory outline icing.  

Step 2:  Fill the outlined crust with ivory flood icing.  

Stop and allow your cookie to dry in front of a fan for 30-40 minutes before moving to the next section.   

Step 3: Outline the pumpkin slice with orange pumpkin piping icing.  

Step 4: Flood the pumpkin slice with orange flood icing.

Stop and allow your cookie to dry in front of a fan for 20-30 minutes before adding details in the next section.  

Step 5: Using white piping icing and a number 16 tip add a dollop on the top of the pumpkin pie slice

SO VERY THANKFUL COOKIE

Step 1: Outline with white piping icing and fill with white flood icing.

Option to add airbrush plaid as I did here in the picture using Cookie Countess airbrush stencil

Step 2:  Use Blue piping icing to letter on the cookie.  I used the fill-in method here meaning on the downward strokes I did an outline then fill in the middle with blue flood icing

Now you have a beautiful sugar cookie platter that looks just like a perfect pumpkin pie, but you can bag up the cookies to let everyone take them home and enjoy them, or make them into a beautiful centerpiece that is great as a hostess gift for whoever is serving up Thanksgiving dinner this year!
