Whether it is Easter, Christmas, Halloween or any other holiday, we are always in the kitchen baking up delicious holiday-themed treats.

Sprinkle flour on a clean working surface then, coat a rolling pin with flour.
On the coated surface, roll out your sugar cookie dough until it’s about ¼ of an inch thick.
Using your egg-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 12 eggs from your cookie dough.
Bake in a pre-heated oven, according to your sugar cookie recipe directions.
Once the cookies have baked, allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.

Roll out your yellow fondant so that it’s about ¼ of an inch thick.
Using the same egg-shaped cookie cutter, cut out one dozen egg-shaped fondant pieces.

Press one egg-shaped fondant onto each cookie.
Place one pink strip on each cookie, on a slight curve.
Trim any excess.

Roll out purple fondant, about ¼ of an inch thick.
Using Wilton tip #11, cut out 60 purple fondant pieces.

Place 5 purple circles on each cookie, just above the pink stripe.
I recommend starting with the middle circle and working your way out – this ensures that the circles look even and centred.
