We have very interesting and innovative Mehndi art sessions planned for June. In the first of many sessions, we learnt how to use Mehndi Art to decorate Cookies.
It was fascinating to see intricate henna patterns come alive on cookies! Bonus? You could eat them too! We started by learning how to prepare the Cookie for henna drawings. And then we learnt about different colours icing cones. Key ingredients for the cookies were digestive biscuits and Royal icing which hardens to a good consistency for addition of designs after being applied to the cookies – with the addition of a variety of food colourings via a henna cone. A range of beautiful designs were created with the use of dots, circles, petals and other basic designs taught in previous sessions such as lines, swirls, flowers, mandalas, paisleys and vines.The edible cookie Mehndi sessions were such a hit!
