I made these as part of this month's Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge over at The Cookie Connection. The colors were drawn from the palette there. The camel cookie cutter is from www.cheapcookiecutters.com. I used my oven trick to quick-set the top of the brown/rust icing since I know from experience that the camel's legs might have cratered or had a sunken look if left to air dry. I added added the harness and rug details a little while later.

Horse Cookies
The smaller roses on the horses are swirl rosettes and I made them with a Wilton #16 star tip. The larger rose on the horseshoe is a Wilton Rose made with a Wilton #3 round tip and a Wilton #101 petal tip. I made the flowers ahead of time and added them to the cookies later as royal icing transfers.
I decorated the horseshoe with gray royal icing and then airbrushed it with a silver metallic sheen after the icing was dry. I used a small dot of leftover royal icing to glue the rose onto the horseshoe. I transferred the smaller swirl roses onto the horse while the horses manes and tail were still drying. The worked to glue the swirl roses onto the horses.

Sea Otter Cookies
My first grade daughter had a sea life science unit at the end of the school year. She picked one animal, the sea otter, and wrote a research report about it. Of course, this was a perfect excuse to make sea otter cookies. School finished up earlier this week, but I made them for her this week anyway. She really liked them.
