Hi all. I'm new to cookie decorating, and have seen several designs with this horizontal bar effect. Can anyone tell me how it's done? This decorator is fantastic and is probably known to experienced decorators - she's definitely a new member to my Top 10!

Thanks for your help.

It looks like the decorator just took the same tip used in basketweave technique to stripe the eggs leaving a small space between each one, then sprinkled or dipped with the glitter.

I can see how could be the basket weave tip - but how do you think the edges are so clean? Do you think maybe they used the cookie cutter, again, to "clean up" the edges? I can't think of anything else...

I don't think these are done by Karen Cookies. The person's name is Kim and she owns a business called Sugar. She is an amazing artist. Wish she had a blog so we could learn from her.

Thanks, guys. For some reason I didn't get any reply notifications. Karen, I didn't know you were a member here - love, love, love your website and blog.

Is Kim a member of CC, or can someone link her website?

Thanks again!

Sorry, motherofgrace, I was on CC too early in the morning before my brain starting working, and made the assumption you were Karen. Don't mind me. icon_redface.gif

You can achieve the effect using a basket weave rolling pin on buttercream or fondant and then sprinkle them with snow dust.
