Time to decorate!
- Pipe the outline of the cookie for each Cropsie character (PICTURE at 4:17). Each character has its own color: blue for teardrop, red for tomato, orange for carrot, green for pear, yellow for banana, and purple for plum.
- Once the outline has hardened, fill it in with color and then let it dry for about an hour.
- Pipe the whites of the eyes for each character and allow it to dry (PICTURE at 5:10).
- Use dark and light brown icing to pipe the mouths, and white icing for teeth (PICTURE at 6:08). Pipe the stems and leaves for the plum, banana, tomato and carrot (PICTURE at 6:23).
