Happy 65th birthday mom!

My mom is my biggest cookie fan; she is always asking me to send her cookies.  With life being crazy, I don't always get the chance to.  I knew for her birthday I better send her some cookies.  Last year I made peonies with a Ball jar.  I just love the look of flowers with a the Ball jar.  My mom loves lilies, so when I saw some cookies on Pinterest, I knew I had to make them for her.  The lily cookie cutter can be purchased here.  If you don't want to purchase a cutter, a six-pointed star will work too.  There was already a tutorial on how to make these beautiful cookies here.  I followed the tutorial exactly.  I used yellow for the Easter lily stamen, the tutorial used orange.  If you don't own an airbrush machine, I think a can of color mist would work.  I want to try making tiger lilies next. 

For the Ball jars, I used this cookie cutter - mine is the 4.5 inch size.  Last year when I made the jars, I used light blue icing.  This year I iced the cookie with white icing and airbrushed it with blue pearl sheen.  I wanted to create a shading effect with the sheen, but my airbrush machine was having a fit (it needed to be cleaned).  I wish the jars would have turned out a better, but what can I do?
