These are SO beautiful!! I can’t express to you how happy it makes me that you made these! Look how hippie and tie-dyed they are! Seriously, Jayne, your talent knows no bounds. I mean, you made tie-dyed dolphin cookies!! Hahahahahaha. And what’s more, I’m sure they taste as good as they look. This has made my day, really. GREAT photos of some FABULOUS cookies. You are a sweetheart, you are, my dear Jayne.
YOU MADE TIE-DYED DOLPHIN COOKIES AND I CANNOT GET OVER IT.
Thank you, Jayne, for cheering me up in a huge way.
It’s not all that much of a secret. I’m assuming you mean about the tie-dyed look on some and the swirly look on others? I just iced them with royal icing – piped the color on in lines or circles…then for the tie-dyed ones I dipped a small paintbrush in water and gently painted from the center circle outward, with just water, and then continue all the way around – going from the center circle out toward the edges. I worked very lightly – didn’t want to make it all a puddle, I just wanted to kind of pull the colors out a bit. I did something similar with the other dolphins, just dipping the brush in water and running it across the icing in a swirly pattern. I didn’t have a huge game plan – I was just playing.Â
Oh, and if that’s not what you were talking about, please let me know which OTHER secret you want divulged! 🙂
The Sudden Yurt Commune gets more appealing every day. These cookies are awesome! I would love to bite one of their lovely little tie-dyed tails right off.
Sarah, hahahaha! I’m so glad you like them! I had fun making them – I love messing around like that but I don’t always get the chance to (or make the time). Now I need to find a gluten-free cookie recipe, too, so everyone in the SYC can have some. 🙂  I’ve also got a cousin who recently discovered she can’t have gluten, so I need to find new baking recipes so I can still share with her.Â
Beautiful cookies!!
So tropical!
JAYNE!!

You won’t believe this, I bought a whole load of Murano glass animals recently, and they all look just like your dolphins! Really really classy…
You could sell them for a fortune in your etsy shop. 🙂
GAH!!! Those are amazing, and trippy, and delightful!! I can’t wait to sample some at our SYC.
I see “Pinky”! These are so cute I almost feel bad for wanting to eat them. Almost!
darling ! I need to do this .. divulge your secret !
Hahahahaha!

Fantastic! Pinky’s great, but the tie-dyed ones are just amazing.

Love the tie-dye dolphins. How fun!
I’m in awe of your creativity and skill.
Hooray for Jayne- Mistress of Whimsical Cookies!
JAYNE! I’m not even worthy to look at these cookies. Forget the s’mores. These should be the official campfire snack of the SYC!
Fabulous.
Jayne, I cannot get over these cookies. I just made Frank look at them (LOOK! LOOK at these!) as I gushed over what a talent you are.
