I had my eye on these cute Ice Skating Penguins for months, and finally made them over the weekend. They are so adorable and fun to make. I made some round cookies using the pistachio sugar cookie recipe from my previous post, (Pistachio Arctic Cookies: Polar Bears and Penguins) for this DIY. See pics and more details below.

They are so cute!

Adorbs!

They are skating!

I used royal icing (turquoise, white, orange and black) to decorate the cookies and made penguins out of black jelly beans. I used orange royal icing for the beak and feet, and white for the belly and eyes. For the penguin eyes, I used a toothpick and dipped it into royal icing. To make the skate lines in the icing, I waited for it to dry and used a toothpick and made two lines.

Having fun on ice!

I made the penguin feet and to affix the penguin onto it, I used a brush lightly dipped in corn syrup on the bottom of it and pressed it onto the feet. I tried to affix one penguin with royal icing and it fell over so use the corn syrup. It works great as an adhesive. This would be a great DIY to do with kids so give it a try! It is really a fun project and easy too.
