St. Patrick's Day Color Palette and Icing Formulas

Use this icing color palette and the formulas to make icing for your next Saint Patrick's Day cookie project!!  I used Chefmaster brand food coloring for all of these formulas. If you're not sure what the "parts" mean, or how to use these formulas, check out THIS POST for detailed step-by-step photos! When I make different colors with the same ratios (like the greens above), I usually make the darkest color first. Then I add some of the darker colored icing into a bowl of fresh white icing to make a lighter version of the same icing. See how I made the Happy Shamrock cookies HERE!!

How To Make Decorated Happy Shamrock Sugar Cookies

Learn how to make some adorable and happy shamrock decorated sugar cookies with this royal icing cookie decorating tutorial!!   I kind of massively love this cookie community. I'm just a little bit all the way obsessed. I love the way you look out for each other. I love the way you innovate. I love the way you SHARE. But my very favoritest part of all...okay...I have two favorites. I love that there is always SOMEONE SOMEWHERE that is awake. No matter the time or day...there is someone you can reach out to. When I lived in South Korea....it was a pretty big deal to me to be able to connect with other living people that also liked to eat sugar and play with their food and really really really didn't know how to make it through en entire grocery shopping trip without a colossal meltdown of epic proportions as well. You know...basic every day stuff.

I made a projector image template for the ribbon and was going to just tuck that into some other post somewhere.

How To Make Fight For a Cure Boxing Glove Decorated Cookies

Learn how to make some FIGHT FOR A CURE decorated boxing glove sugar cookies with this royal icing cookie decorating tutorial!!   I usually start my posts with a little story that quickly moves from normal (like a hungry person eating french fries with ketchup) to out of control (like 7 polka dot unicorns dancing the conga down the highway while setting off fireworks and releasing glitter balloons and then jumping into a pool filled with bouncy balls and grape jello) in about 4 seconds flat. I can't help it.  My thoughts just go from one side of my brain to the other when I start writing a post. Mostly because I type my posts late at night. And also maybe because I eat too much sugar on a regular basis. But guys... there's nothing funny about cancer.
