Easter Bonnets

IMG_7684

I’ll just call them Cookie Hats since Easter is now over. I made these this weekend but you can certainly do them for other occasions like Mothers Day. Showers, too. You can change the colors for different themes. Any Red Hat Society peeps out there? These would be fun. I can also see these for a Kentucky Derby party – you could get really creative with them. Or forget the flowers, paint them with silver luster dust and turn them into flying saucers.

I found the instructions for these cuties in a book called Cookie Swap.

IMG_7736

Here’s what they are supposed to look like. Gorgeous, huh! These are made using royal icing to coat the hat and pipe the perfect little dots. Fondant is used for the flowers and the bands.

Now, I didn’t have extra hours to wait for royal icing to dry when I made these, so I improvised. But, if time weren’t an issue, I’d go royal.

IMG_7691

Instead, I covered the sugar cookie hats in tinted and rolled fondant…

IMG_7654

And used sugar pearls to add detail. To help them stay in place, I used the pearls to press indentations around the hat. Then, I put a tiny amount of water on the sugar pearl and placed it in position.

IMG_7702

Here they are with and without the pearls.

The base of the sugar cookie hats should be rolled thin before baking and the top part of the hat should be thicker to accommodate the fondant band. I used the shortbread sugar cookie recipe in the book, but feel free to use your own recipe and decorate.

Note: To get the fondant and cookie shapes to match in size, I re-cut the cookies with the cutter when I took them out of the oven and while they were still warm because they had spread a little.

You can attach the fondant to the cookies with a little bit of icing and you can attach the fondant flowers with a little dab of water.

Fondant Flowers.

All I can say is I heart my flower blossom plunger cutter. Say that fast three times.

IMG_7657

I bought it a while ago and this is the first time I’ve used it.

IMG_7660

You can cut shapes out of fondant and by pressing down on the plunger, you can make center indentations… or not.

You can also press the plunger into the fondant and remove the flower shape to then press and release onto a sponge.

This will give the flowers a curved shape.

But, without a sponge handy I had to improvise again.

So I grabbed the paper towel roll nearby and laid it on its side.

IMG_7662

See how they curve when you press them into a soft surface and release? If you wanted, you could also add sugar pearls to the centers or pipe with icing.

IMG_7723

These were fun to use. Now I need to get my hands on a little leaf plunger cutter to round out the look.

IMG_7703

IMG_7748

Cookie Swap is full of recipes, decorating and displaying ideas.

Like these….

IMG_7740

Yes, this is a cookie. A ridiculously beautiful cookie. Seriously, who does that? Amazing!

IMG_7741

And these are in the book, too. Love them! Looooooove them. But, I’d have to find someone to pipe those dots on for me. Mine would never look that perfect.

In addition to really pretty sweets, the book also has cute cookies to make you swoon.

IMG_7743

Like these hamburger and hotdog shaped macarons. Dying.

IMG_7744

And these watermelon cookies. Oh and umm, the lemons? Those are cookies, too. I know. Craziness.

Want to try your hand at some spectacular cookies?

  1. I love to test cookies!!! Sometimes I dive i into trying to make new recipes but I am still a novice. :)

  2. I would love to make some of those cookies!

  3. Definitely the baker! Although i usually taste as i go along, so does that mean I’m both? :)

  4. I am taking course 2 of the Wilton Cake class (or as my husband calls it – Icing Class). Now that I know a few tricks I am having fun experimenting on cupcakes, cakes and cookies.

  5. I’m an adventurous cookie kinda gal :) I kinda have designed my own personal kitchen in my future house around baking, haha

  6. I’m probably more of a taste tester…. but I did win our women’s organization cookie exchage last year!

  7. So flipping cute!! I would love to try some of those!

    jen

  8. yummy cookies, love idea books…hope to win!
    (can’t wait to get your book!)
    cheryl

  9. sweet cookies like you bake … i could use a bit more inspiration… eating is another story which is why i now have a dedication to the gym.

    But i’m an adventurous baker when it comes to cakes for some crazy reason.

  10. Wow, so beautiful. I am so impressed! I am very adventurous :)

  11. I am the adventurous one!!

  12. I’ll eat just about anything and I love trying new adventures!

  13. I love the cookie adventures! Fun to decorate and surprise friends with cute cookies!

  14. I’m becoming an adventurous cookie maker, made basketball cookies yesterday to celebrate Butler making it to the final game. Used rolled buttercream for the first time, that was interesting…

  15. I love this book, and the cookies are lovely. I make cookies all the time and this will be so great to get ideas and inspiration. Thanks for the opportunity.

  16. Cute! I want!

  17. I know that it’s not cookies, but I just made candied bacon and chocolate ancho-chili cupcakes!! Next, wasabi white chocolate cupcakes. :)

    Those cookies look AMAZING!! I’d like to be that skilled…

  18. My mom has taken cake decorating classes, and I would love to give her this book!

  19. I’m an adventurous baker . . . and I’m also a content cookie muncher. “MMMM….me want COOKIE!!” Thanks for the opportunity to win this beautiful book and I’m glad you’re feeling better :)

  20. Like others before me, I would have to say a little bit of both. However, probably lean more to the maker side.

  21. I looove to make cookies! I’ve been experimenting with different kinds of cake mix cookies recently and also making flavored buttercreams to make sammich cookies. I did devils food with bailey’s buttercream around st. patrick’s day, carrot cake with cinnamon cream cheese buttercream for Easter, and some crimson and cream red velvet cookies with creamcheese butter cream for some friends in Oklahoma. I wish I could quit my job and just bake all day :)

  22. Hi Bakerella,
    I am a major cookie adventure girl – but in no way as clever as those in that book! I love, love to bake!

  23. I’m definitely the cookie maker!!!

  24. totally adventurous cookie maker. Kinda a whimpy taster. I make my husband do that.

  25. I LOVE baking, and try to be adventurous in my decorating. However, I am not very creative, so I usually just try out the designs you show on your website. I can’t wait until I have kids, and get to make adorable cupcakes and candies for the class!!

  26. I am an adventurous cookie maker! And those cookies are beautiful!

  27. My cookies never come out as tasty as I imagine, especially if I get complicated, so I tend to go simple. Thumbprint jam cookies, and the like!

  28. I’m certainly a taster. I’m still trying to figure out how to make my cookies turn out like they use to and I’ve lived here for 6 years. Yes, i like to taste. I’m instilling the tasting part on my children too.

  29. I’d say a bit of both, but I think I lean more towards the adventurous baker and I leave the taste testing to my husband. :)

  30. Adventurous cookie maker here. Odd thing is, I can never eat my own baked goods. That’s my husbands job!

  31. I’m SO ready to be an adventurous baker — maybe the recipes in this book will help me!! :)

  32. I’d rather spend more time decorating cakes than cookies… they get gobbled up so quickly!!

  33. I am an adventurous cookie maker… but not an adventurous cookie decorator. I usually make lots of different types of drop cookies. I haven’t ventured to far into cookie decorating. I would love to, but I need more time and a bigger kitchen!!!

  34. I’m the cookie baker!!! What a fun website. So glad my daughter introduced me to it.

  35. I am definately an adventurous cookie maker… batter yet I am an adventurous everything maker… and I always sneak a taste!

  36. I would LOVE to be a cookie maker, but it’s all down to time available, isn’t it? Sigh.

  37. If I had the time, I would definitely be an adventurous cookie maker. Unfortunately between the full-time job and the running of children everywhere, simple cookies are the only thing I have time to make!

  38. I’m a taster.

  39. I big puffy heart making cookies to go with a holiday theme. It’s so fun when people see these type of cookies for the first time. no one wants to eat them…they’re just too beautiful :)

  40. Love the cookies! Are there any great butterfly or ladybug ideas to use for my twin girls’ birthday party?

  41. I love making cookies, but I get stuck in ruts where I keep making the same recipes. I need to branch out more.

  42. adventurous/taste tester!!=)

  43. loves me some bridal cookies

  44. Though I love to taste-test my cookies, I actually enjoy the decorating more! At the beginning of this school year I made little rocket cookies with US flags and a litle head poking out of the window. Our theme for the school year was “space” in response to the 40th anniversary of sending astronauts to the moon. The kids loved them!

  45. book looks like alot of fun,,,,,really waiting on your book!! Glad you are feeling better!!!!!

  46. I am both!! I love to try to ideas in my baking and love to taste them as well!

  47. I tend to be a bit adventurous, but more so in flavors than decorating. I don’t yet have all the tools (or the space) to really decorate hard core in my kitchen.

  48. I am a frenchy girl and i leave in France;I may a tiny chance to get this book. I am above an adventurer.
    Love of cookies is not universal?
    (sorry if my english is not correct)

  49. I get adventurous for parties. Sometime it works, sometimes it doesn’t but I’ve had fun trying! Would love to do more-I need to get me those flower makers for sure! Cake pops were a hit this weekend.

  50. Beautiful! Those look like so much fun!

  51. I love those cookies they turned out great! I am definately an adventurous cookie baker and cookies like this would also bring out the perfectionist in me. Too much fun!

  52. adventurous cookie maker. usually too adventurous. usually too adventurous with a deadline. i like to make thing difficult for myself. :)

  53. I’m more taste tester than cookie maker. I can make one hell of a pie, but as soon as I try to make cookies, the fire alarm goes off. Whoops!

  54. I am an adventurous baker! I have used the re-cut after cooking trick, too in order to get cookies to look gorgeous.Bonus–I LOVE food that mimicks other food (cookie/cakes that look like hamburgers, hot dogs, etc.)

  55. Taste tester at the moment, but would love to be maker!

    This book would provide great inspiration!
    Darnetta

  56. I am adventurous! I love to bake new cookie recipes. Plus my 4 year old daughter makes a great ‘Taster”.

  57. I’m becoming more and more adventurous! I surely would love to make those Watermelon Cookies!! And I think I need to go buy a fondant flower plunger cutter soon! :) So cute!

  58. I am an adventurous cookie maker. It’s not always successful, but I love trying!

  59. I’m a wanna-be adventurous cookie maker but have definitely mastered the content taste tester. I truly think I am allergic to rolling pins, though Ö

  60. Definitely a taster. My cookies to not turn out as pretty as these!

  61. I must have this book. How stinkin cute are those lemons and watermelons. Love your bonnets, you did a great job. Thanks for the idea about cutting the cookie after they come out of the oven-good thinking! glad you are feeling better.

  62. The book looks really fun!

    I’m definitely a taste tester. :-)

  63. i’m just a tester. wish i could be a baker though. just have trouble getting things to turn out right! :)

  64. Those cookies look fabulous. I’m always up for trying something new. Hope you’re feeling better!

  65. I’m a pretty standard cookie maker, but I’d really like to try using royal icing and fondant in my baking

  66. I’m always up for an adventure, but you can never go wrong with a little taste-testing as well. Though I usually spend so much time decorating and getting the presentation right on my baked treats by the time I’m done I’m too exhausted to eat any. I’d love a new challenge though, and that book looks like it has some incredible ideas!

  67. I would love to be more adventurous with cookie making but right now I’m more of an expert taster. Love your site, it’s always inspiring!

  68. wow, those are the cutest cookies ever! i’ve been thinking of added decorated cookies to my repetoire and this book would be the perfect way to jump right in! i’m really glad you are feeling better : )

  70. I love it when I get to see something new from you! Those look so adorable and yummy.

    I love to make decorated cookies, and I have been wanting this book for quite a while now. I look through it every time I go to the book store. Thanks so much for the chance to win it.
    Can’t wait to see what you do next!

  78. I’m an eater AND a baker and I’m not ashamed to admit it! :)

  79. Both! I love to create then eat the creation!!

  100. I’m not a very adventurous cookie maker. A bad oven (rental kitchen, what can you do?) has ruined more than a few batches of fancy cookies and so I don’t bother anymore. I’ll be brave for Christmas cookies, but that’s about it. I stick to oatmeal cookies (recipe on Quaker canister) and chocolate chippers (Tollhouse recipe). :)

  101. if I got this book I’d try every recipe just to see if i could!!

  109. BOTH…I love to try new things but like to taste too!!

  110. I’m always on the lookout for a new cookie recipe. Wow–it looks like I’ve hit the motherload! Thanks for the chance to win.

  111. I wish I were a baker of fine treaties, but I am a much better eater of them.

  113. Definitely an adventurous cookie-maker!

  114. I am a taste tester at heart! What a great book!

  115. I wouldn’t say adventurous however I am making 110 wedding cookies for my brother’s wedding in July!

  116. I’d like to think I’m an adventurous cookie maker. Anything I think my kids will love, I’ll give a try. The last ones I tried were red velvet whoopie pie cookies. :) They turned out yummy!

  120. I don’t have any of the fancy cutters or things like that, but I think I would make a pretty adventurous cookie maker (and taster) if I tried!

  121. I love to bake cookies and any other kind of sweet. (Made the peach crunch cake yesterday and it was amazing.). I am just now becoming more adventurous, am a total beginner in that regard. Your site inspires me!

  122. Mostly taster…I love baking cookies to decorate, but by the time the whole batch is done, I just want to put them away and be done with it! For my sister-in-law’s bridal shower last summer, I did make sugar cookies from my grandma’s recipe, and decorated them with the first letter of her and my brother’s first names…they turned out better than I expected and were a huge hit! (The shower was dessert themed, too, so there were plenty of good eats!)

  123. In my family, we make cookies to look like our pet schnauzer, so creativity is our gig!

  130. LOVE the cute cookies! and I’d love the book:)

  131. Oh adventurous cookie maker for sure, but not always oh so delicious tasting. Your work is simply a piece of art.

  132. Oh my, these cookies are so awesome, I love such books!
    But I think I would never have the patience to make my cookies look so perfect, but hey, why not try?! I’m an adventurous baker + taste tester. ;-)

  133. I’m an adventurous baker, but not so much an adventurous decorator. They never seem to turn out as well for me as they look in an illustration!

  134. I have the Hello, Cupcake book and would love to add this cookie book to the collection!

  135. I am both a content taster and an aspiring adventurous baker! I am always looking for new cookies to bake! I say “aspiring” because I am quick to try new flavors etc, but a little slower on adventures in decorating, my hands are not that steady. These bonnets look amazing!

  136. I would say I’m a adventurous cookie maker, i love to make cookies and give them away.

  137. I’m one of the adventurous cookie makers. I love decorating cookies! I haven’t actually made any in a while, so this is perfect timing… the book serves as inspiration!

  138. Definitely adventurous cookie maker. So much so that I am researching how to bake/decorate cookies for a living!

  139. I like to pretend I am an adventurous cookie maker. But, mainly I like to eat them.

  140. I would love to be more adventurous..but I am definitely a taster!

  141. I’m an adventurous cookie maker. Sometimes my husband does not enjoy this though. He’d rather I stick with the tried and true.

  142. I try to be an adventurous cookie baker, but this book would certainly improve my skills!!!

  143. Adventurous…that’s me. Must look into buying the flower plunger.

  144. I love baking and I just started to become adventurous! However, I am also a taste tester…which can be hurtful on the waste line but that’s ok =)

    The cookies are beautiful and I hope you had a wonderful Easter.

  145. I’m more of a taster, since I like baking cakes more than cookies. But when I have time, I do love to experiment with them. This looks like a great book!

  146. These are great. I started making cookies last year. It is sooooo fun, always an occasion to make some. I even sold some and was amazed at the demand.
    I too still have to practice on the piping but the fondant is great to work with. Don’t be intimidated, it’s not that hard, even in a small kitchen.

  147. Definitely not in your league, but I hold my own! I would love to win the book.

  148. Wow! I would love to try to make some of those beautiful cookies.

  149. I make cookies every couple weeks …. otherwise we’d be huge! LOL. But, we do get creative with them from time to time.

  150. I am most definately an adventurous baker! I love trying new recipes and just love all the beautiful things you have just shown us. All I can say is WOW!

  151. Love to bake cookies, but I’m more of a plain jane baker. These are so beautiful, though!

  152. I love to make strange cookies. I love the watermelon ones. It goes along with my blog and I am expecting a baby in 3 wks and I call he/she Baby Watermelon!

  153. I am the cookie taster. I wish I could make sweet cookies like those!!

  154. I’m not what I’d call a super-adventurous cookie baker, but I can bake a mean chocolate chip!

  155. I’m an adventurous cookie maker when I have the time and a content taste tester anytime!!! What a wonderful give a way!!!

  156. I would say increasingly adventurous, but combatting my lack of inherent artistic talent!

  157. I have thick fingers which make detailing difficult but stuffing my face very easy.

  158. Definitely a contented taster. I haven’t figured out how to use royal icing yet, but its on my to-do list!

  159. These are wonderful! It makes me want to bake something other than Passover goodies!

  160. I eat anything my wife makes and her baked goods are always sooooooo good! i am a huge fan of the black and white cookie … and my moms lintzer tarts!

  161. Silly question . . . both!

  162. I love the adventure of baking cookies but my sweet tooth never stops me from trying them.

  163. I thought I was adventurous until I met you !!!! Love what you do, Keep it up !!!! Love the hats….
    p.s. made your cake balls for Easter everyone LOVED them !!!!

  164. I am a content taster but because of you I am trying many different ideas. Because of you, the teacher’s at my sons school think I am amazing because of my oreo truffles and pops..Thank you Bakerella!

  165. I love to try out all sorts of recipes for meals, but when it comes to baking my husband loves the “good, old-fashioned” standbys, so I generally stick to variations of chocolate. He’s a good sport, though, and indulges some of my creative attempts (and he almost always ends up loving them:)!

  166. I am an adventurous cookie maker! I’m super excited to finally have some meringue powder to play with so I don’t pipe designs that melt a little,.. :)

  167. I love tasting and baking

  168. I am a HUGE cookie eater !!! YUM!!! that book looks amazing!!!

  169. If I had that wonderful cook book in hand, I’d be an adventurous cookie maker for sure!! Thanks for sharing yet another great publication with us!

  170. Both :)

  171. These cookies are absolutely adorable. Wouldn’t they just be perfect for our church tea party? I don’t think that there is any way that I could make 300+ cookies. Anyone willing to give me a hand? tee-hee I could definitely eat quite a few of these.

  172. Your cookies looks wonderful and delicious!
    I’m definitely a content taste tester :) I love baking cookies but I always use the same recipe…
    Hope you had a great Easter!

  173. I’m becoming more of an adventurous baker…or at least trying to be.

  174. I am happy to be a taste tester for my friends.

  180. what an adorable book! i love to bake cookies, but not without tasting one or two (or seven…)

  181. I love to read cookbooks and gaze upon the pretty pictures. But I’ve never said ‘no’ to tasting them either!

  182. I’ve BEEN a taster but now that I’ve moved into my first house, maybe I’ll get ambitious and creative!

  183. What beautiful cookies. I love the Easter hats. Cant wait to see more :)

  184. I’m an adventurous cookie maker as long as it isn’t too terribly complicated. Those Halloween spider web cookies you posted a while back were just my speed! Loved those! Anyway, that book is gorgeous, and I’d loved to find out how to make the watermelon cookies!!

  185. Baker…defiently a baker, those watermelon cookies are amazing!!!! Makes me want summer even more!

  186. I’m more of the adventurous cookie maker, but mine are more tasty than they are pretty.

  187. I guess I am just a taste tester, but if I win this book I will become an adventurous baker!

  188. I just got a new double convection oven so I am anxious to bake some fancy cookies in it!

  189. I try to be creative. You’re my inspiration, Bakerella!

  190. I love the lemon slice cookies!

  191. I am just content to make the cookies and eat them.

  192. I deff. love to try new cookies, but i am prob better at being a taste tester :) but i’m learning!!!

  193. I am most definitely both! Haha. I taste what I make. I love making something new and different. Those cookies look amazing!

  194. cookie fanatic here… but I eat them better than I bake them! :(

  195. I would say adventurous cookie maker but then the experience wouldn’t be complete without the taste testing part so… I’m a little bit of both!=)

  196. I love to make cookies, but when it comes to the intricate details, I would rather be the taste tester! P.S. Bakerella…your dots would most definitely look that perfect on the cake cookies!

  197. I have to say that I fancy myself as an adventurous cookie baker, but only for special occasion parties and showers. I love my family, but they get the simple ones that are tried and true. Mostly, it’s because when my four kids want cookies, they want lots of them – now! Sorry kids, I’m not wasting five hours of decorating on something a classic chocolate chip can handle ;)

  198. I love doing cookies, they are a fun break from doing cakes and cupcakes all the time! I did some cute ones for Easter with my edible image printer, inspired by you of course (your Valentine’s post). Anyway, I can’t wait to try the hat cookies – I’m going to do them for Mother’s Day!!!

  199. Wow, the hats are so cute, guess it takes some time to make each of them. And I guess I’m mostly a content taste tester, even though I would be the other if I had more time and space ;)
