April Showers Baby Shower: Umbrella Cookies

Kellie of Kellie's Kandies & Cookies made these adorable treats for baby and bridal showers. These cookies are prepared with serious skill, but a simpler version could be created with a bit less detail.

Steps:

• Bake sugar cookies in the shape of umbrellas. Use an umbrella-shaped cookie cutter if you can find one. Or create a cardboard umbrella shape to use as a pattern: place it on the cookie dough and trace around using a knife to make the cookies.
• Make a sheer icing using 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 - 4 tablespoons of milk tinted with pink food coloring. Or tint the icing in the color of your baby shower.
• Ice cookies and allow to set.
• Use complementary colors of decorator's icing to create the details and decor on the umbrella.
