I finally had the time to finish this pictorial for you guys! I was foolishly thinking I had enough time, lol! Halloween is just around the corner! You still have time to cranck these up in no time. They are easier than you think!
First pick out your cookie cutters, a mini witch hat and a pot cutter. For the rest of the cookie I used a lid to transfer the sketched out design. Cut and place together, like the picture shows, then bake.
For the bubbles I used two different cookie cutters. A worm cutter and a mini snowman. You can literally use any cutter for this, just as long as you fill them with bubbles with your royal icing.
Prepare your colors for the bubbles. Make three different shades of green and white for the bubble's highlight. I used 20 second consistency.
Start making your bubbles. Alternate between all three colors of green royal icing. Make sure the bubbles are not touching. Wait around 10 minutes and add more bubbles until the entire area is covered with bubbles. Of course, my icing is acting up on my first pictorial and giving me some craters but don't worry, at least not on these, those craters will get covered by more bubbles. That is not going to stop me from sharing with you how to make these adorable witches for Halloween!!
For the witch, you start with flooding the pot with gray 20 second consistancy icing. Make the icing kind of dark gray because we will use black around the edges with the airbrush. If your gray is dark it will blend beautifully with the black you spray around the edges.
Next I flooded the ribbon on the witche's hat with 20 second royal icing. I realized I could have waited till I had airbrushed the pot. It's ok, you can cover the purple ribbon on the hat with a paper towel and airbrush the pot. Once the icing has dried of course.
Next airbrush all around the edges of the pot in black. If you don't have an airbrush you can use color mist spray from Wilton. If you don't want or don't have spray, you can just use black royal icing. This spraying the edges in black on dark gray for highlight, I learned from Whisked Away Cutters!
Pipe the hair with piping consistency yellow royal icing. You can do whatever color hair. You can also make a curly haired witch! Whatever floats your boat. I decided to make this one a blond straight haired one.
Now for the leg. Draw the leg with an edible marker. Make the leg as long or wide as you think will make a silly witch.
Flood the leg with 20 second consistancy orange and purple royal icing. I used a tipless piping bag for the lines on the sock. For the remaining part of the cookie all you have to do is the exact same thing as we did with the bubbles. Use the same colors and icing consistancy. For the rest of the hat I outlined and flooded with the dark gray I used for the pot, then I dipped it in black sanding sugar.
Once your witch in a pot is finished, let it dry for 24 hours before you bag or place in a platter!
See how simple this is!
And this is the finished witches in a pot and bubbles!
Hope you enjoyed my pictorial! Give it a try! You still have time for Halloween!
Remember let's make life sweeter one cookie at a time!
Bye Sweeties!!
