Roll a very thin snake 1mm (just over 1/16").
Cut it in pieces 1mm (1/32") and shape into tiny almonds shapes.
Step 12
Place the almonds on the cookies and “stripe” them using a pin, as shown.
REMINDER
!! Mix your icing !!
Step 13
Take your polymer clay in amounts of 5/6th translucent plus 1/6th red.
Step 14
After mixing the two colors of clay, your cherry mix color should look as shown.
Step 15
Roll tiny balls of red (roll a thin snake and cut it) and place the cherry in the middle.
Using your brush and the pastels you used to color the cookies, color the almonds.
Make sure to brush perpendicularly to the almond stripes.
