I have always admired magnolia trees and the blossoms they don. The rich, glassy leaves. The ginormous white silky blossoms. It's just amazing to me how a tree can produce such LARGE, beautiful flowers! A few years back, I made a cookie magnolia and just loved it! I decided it was high time that I shared how to make it! I used a six-sided flower cutter, like the one in the picture below. I think I purchased this concentric flower set from Walmart. What you'll need: * six-sided flower shapes, baked with your favorite cut out cookie recipe * white icing 20-second consistency * green icing- just a little bit! * yellow nonpareils (you could use yellow sanding sugar or icing if you can't find these)
9. About 30 seconds after piping the green center, add the yellow nonpareils. I love these blossoms because they use a widely available cutter, and they don't use an airbrush! And remember, if you can't find yellow nonpareils (or don't feel like getting a huge container of them) just use yellow icing dots! May these magnolia blossoms bring you joy too!

I've never iced sugar cookies before, but I managed these today -- they're not as hard as you'd think for how beautiful they are! Thank you!
