Sassy Spiderwebs

I just love these spiderwebs with the bright colors added, but really, you could use any colors!

  • With black icing and a #2 or #3 tip, pipe a spiderweb outline onto a round cookie. (Spectrum Super Black)
  • Thin the background color, as well as 1 or 2 contrasting colors with water to the consistency of syrup. Cover with a damp towel and let sit several minutes.
  • Run a rubber spatula gently through the icings to pop the bubbles that have risen to the top. Transfer to squeeze bottles.
  • About 6 cookies at a time, fill in the background with the thinned flood icing. Use a toothpick to draw into the corners and edges.
  • Now with the contrasting color/s, draw 3 circles onto the wet background icing.
  • Starting in the middle of the circles, use a toothpick to drag the icing toward each spiderweb point.
  • Let dry at least one hour.
  • Using a large round tip such as a #7 or #12....whatever you have on hand, pipe a spider body.
  • Change the tip to a #1 or #2, and pipe eight legs.
