1. Embroidery-inspired details
There’s something about the wonderfully dainty details and textures of embroidery that lends itself perfectly to pretty pastel sweets. Adding eyelet, brush embroidery or small French knot–inspired designs to your cookies can give them a super sweet appeal, like in the pretty cookies seen above.

2. Antique-style Easter Eggs
Fun Easter eggs are definitely a popular motif when the spring season rolls around. Instead of decorating your freshly baked sugar cookies with the usual polka dot, stripe or crack shell details why not turn your sweet treats in antique inspired beauties! We adore the super pretty ruffled egg cookie above with it’s simple yet vintage style details. Why not tryout cameo designs, bows, gold painted borders and shimmering royal icing pearls too!

3. Pretty piped lattice work
Royal icing lace always looks stunning on flooded sugar cookies. Pretty textures make for perfect cookie decorating ideas. This year why not try out a new and just as impressive look – lattice piping! Using some time, a steady hand, some planning and a small seamless piping tip you can create the simple yet sweet look on the cookie above. It’s perfect to add detailed backgrounds around centerpiece work or to create lace-like edging to cookies.

We think macaron, ice cream sundae and cupcake shaped and decorating cookies would be perfect too.
