I don't think that it is a secret to any Pink Apron readers that I am a bit of a "girly" girl. I frequently describe myself to others as a "pink person" and I never miss Lilly Pulitzer sale! When I was asked to make these cookies I was more than excited! Pink tiara cookies that say: girls rule, is classic Pink Apron.
I used pink sanding sugar to give the cookies some bling, and sugar pearls on the three center tips.The other dots I were made with royal icing using a #2 tip.
Since I happen to have a new Lilly Pulitzer tablecloth I coudln't resist taking a photo with these cookie on it!
