rainbow palmiers

oh lookie.
more rainbow treats.
rainbow palmiers in fact.
it's all due to the green holiday coming up.
and the fact that i am a lover of 
all things colorful and bright.
but not so much of spending too much time 
in the kitchen when i know store bought 
stuff is better than i could ever make.

thus the reason i got these at target.

brown sugar and flaky pastry? yum!
i wasn't planning on turning them into rainbows 
but that's what happens when you are a 
holiday food crafter and everything looks like holiday stuff.

ok all you do is make some glaze 
with confectioner's sugar and milk.

i actually just threw some sugar in a bowl 
and slowly added a teaspoon of milk til 
i got a glue-like consistency.

then i grabbed my food gel colors,
saving a teaspoon or so of white for the clouds.
and a food designated paint brush.
and just started painting, 
washing the brush in between each color.

then the rain came. 
cuz you gotta have rain (sprinkles) to get a rainbow.
and you gotta have clouds.
(mini marshmallow bits on top of plain icing)

so now even though there are dark clouds, 
you'll still have a rainbow. :)
now just bag 'em up in st. patty's day decor 
and you are set to share the rainbow.

yay for happy colors for all!

    1. and you're too sweet! just like a BBFF should be 😊! i actually think these palmiers by themselves could be a little sweeter so the icing makes 'em just right! 😋
