The World Cup is officially kicking off just across the river, and as someone who turns big moments into cookies for a living, it felt only right to celebrate with a design inspired by the world’s game.
For this cookie, I took inspiration from the iconic soccer pitch itself, complete with woodgrain details, bold team colors, and a little gold for that championship energy. ⚽🏆
This project also gave me the perfect excuse to try ENCO Foods food coloring for the first time. The colors were highly pigmented, blended beautifully, and made it easy to achieve the bold reds, blues, blacks, and rich brown tones needed to bring the design to life. As someone who spends an unreasonable amount of time obsessing over color, I was impressed by how easy they were to work with.
And if you’re hosting watch parties, game day gatherings, or tailgate celebrations this season, food coloring is one of the easiest ways to bring team spirit to your dessert table. Cookies, cupcakes, royal icing, buttercream, cakes… a few drops can transform an entire spread into a celebration of your favorite team.
Now if only decorating cookies counted as an official World Cup event. I’d finally have a shot at bringing home a trophy.
