I love tattoos, especially the traditional Japanese inspired ones. In the right hands the koi fish, waves, lotus flowers and blossoms seem to come together amazingly to make the most awe-inspiring body art.
I love these intricate designs so much I decided I would attempt a flood iced version. It took me several hours over three days with several different piping nozzles and a very steady hand. My hand was definitely ‘piping bag’ shape by the end of it all I can tell you!!
So here it is – my hand drawn, hand piped and flooded ‘Japanese tattoo’ inspired cookie slab.
I happened to be on holiday when I made this cookie so ‘borrowed’ the pool to photograph it. Not that you should put real fish in a pool, or any cookies that you plan to eat for that matter!
I’m absolutely loving playing around with flooded cookies right now so watch this space for plenty more coming soon…

WOW! These cookies are AWESOME!!! It would have taken me weeks to do these. I can’t believe you made them in 3 days!
I can’t wait to see what you do next! Thanks for adding them to the link party!
