Rainbow Centerpiece and a Virtual Baby Shower for Meaghan of The Decorated Cookie

Today we are going to celebrate in a grand Rainbow Style! In all colors of happiness and smiles.

What or whom do we celebrate, you ask?

Do you know Meaghan? The Decorated Cookie one. We are celebrating Meaghan and her newly born baby girl Violet Lake.

Michelle from Sugar Swings had a fabulous idea to create a virtual Baby Shower for Meaghan in the Rainbow style. She asked me come along and you know since I was already thinking about Christmas centerpieces… I made a rainbow centerpiece for the joyful occasion.

To make a rainbow centerpiece you need:

Cookies, use sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies, chocolate cookies, what ever you like, here are few of my favorite cookie cut out recipes

Royal Icing

Gel food colorings

Large flower cookie cutter – for the base, I bought mine at a Dollar store years ago, it is about 5inches wide, Country Kitchen carries a nested flower cutter set with a 5 inch flower cutter

Small flower cookie cutter to make the clouds.

One large and one medium round cookie cutter – to create a rainbow shape

Mini rose/tulip cutter and a mini flower cutter – to create daisies, I bought the mini tulip cutter at a local store and I can’t seem to locate the same one online, but here is a similar one you can use as well to create mini daisies, from The Cookie Cutter Company

Drinking straw to make 2 holes in the base cookie, for the ribbon

Piping bag fitted with a small leaf metal tip

Here are all the cookie cutters I used to construct the Rainbow Centerpiece

Decorate cookies, I used 3 different shade of green to decorate the base large flower cookie

Make small royal icing leaves using small leaf metal tip and a medium stiff icing, let dry

Using a royal icing attach dry royal icing leaves onto the base by the daisy flowers.Add a ribbon.

Using stiff royal icing attach all the cookie pieces onto the base, making sure you support the cookie with some crumbled plastic wrap for at least a few hours until icing/glue dries. Remove supports and enjoy the centerpiece

Welcome Baby Girl Violet Lake.
Wishing you – Meaghan and your family Wonderful Rainbow Christmas.
