Edible Apps

I have a whole lotta apps!! However, two of my favourite apps that I use everyday on my iPad are Kobo and Evernote. I especially like the Evernote logo, as it combines one of my favourite colours (green) and animal (elephant). I remember seeing a cookie on another blog a while back, fashioned after the Instagram app, and thought, how cool, think I'll give that a try. Unfortunately I can't remember which blog I saw it on, so unable to give credit at this time.

I thought I would work on my flooding technique and make edible kobo, Evernote, foodgawker and living social apps. Hope you like!!

I started off by making some butter cookies - I had some left-over dough in the freezer from the last batch I made, so less work. I also had some left-over royal icing, however it was pink!! Yep, being too lazy to make a new batch in white, I decided that I would create all the colours I needed using pink as my base. Although I was able to pull off the colours, they were not the right hues and I was still without white in the end, which I needed for the kobo and twitter apps. Lesson learned. Once the cookies were baked and cooled, I used a variety of edible colours, in pen and gel paste, a  few squeeze bottles and a #2 tips to decorate my cookies.

Using templates I downloaded from the web, I traced the outlines for the kobo and evernote apps. My other half drew the twitter, foodgawker and livingsocial apps free-hand - show-off!! I used PME edible markers to create a guide which I then piped over with the royal icing. The kobo is missing its white background. I preferred the others as is, so opted not to add the royal icing.
