We’re huge advocates of an edible favour and when that can be made even more exciting with an added creative element, what more could you want?! Our DIY ‘paint your own’ biscuits are an edible blank canvas where creativity can be unleashed! The possibilities really are endless with the designs you can create and the ways they can be decorated. The perfect wedding or party favours, turning a delicious treat into a fun activity.
These would make excellent wedding favours for children, but let’s be real, adults would be big fans too (if they can resist eating them before they’re coloured in!). But if the thought of drawing 100+ designs is daunting, you could order a printed edible image to add to your biscuits instead. Stick the printed image to your rolled out icing and just follow the steps as normal, excluding the drawing bit!
Sugar cookie recipe we used:
- 250g butter
- 180g caster sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or flavouring of your choice)
- 1 egg
- 400g self raising flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
The cookie cutter used to make the large square biscuits is 11cm x 11cm. The mix makes approximately 20 biscuits of that size.
You will also need:
- Roll out icing/Fondant icing
- Cookie cutter in the size and shape of your choice
- Royal icing in the colours of your choice
- Piping bags
- An edible ink pen
- Food safe paintbrush
