How to make a Buzz Lightyear Cookie

Posted on by

Buzz Lightyear Cookie

You will need:
1) Image of Buzz to follow
2) Round cookies (I used beeinourbonnets recipe found here)
3) Thicker, piping consistancy black Royal Icing
4) Flood colors, purple, grey, white, blue and skin tone Royal Icing (best royal icing info found here by SweetSugarBelle)
5) Black edible in markers
6) A whole lot of time :/

Outline buzz with the edible ink marker, then pipe outlines in black. I used the kopykake 300xk

Now Flood alternating sections. If you don’t wait long enough between sections they will flow together. I was unhappy with his face in these so I just rushed through the flooding.

Add the eyes. Do this when the face is still wet, but there is just barely a skin forming. I waited too long on some and he looks crazy-eyed in a lot of these cookies.

Now keep flooding

Add extra facial features. I decided it didn’t look good with black icing so I switched to using a black edible ink marker.

Character Faces are really hard!! I think maybe if I went a little bit bigger I could have had an easier time.


What I learned… don’t rush through flooding sections, even if the eyes look crazy. Flood only about 4 faces at a time so there is enough time to add eyes… Don’t do this the same weekend as a Hunger Games Premier
