Want a cute accent for your next baby shower? These baby chick gumballs are adorable and easy!

Here's what you need:

Yellow Gumballs
Black Royal Icing {piping consistency} fitted with a #1 tip
Orange Royal Icing {20-second icing} with a #2 tip
Yellow Royal Icing {stiff piping consistency} with a #13 or #14 tip

Here's the how-to:

Begin my packing a cooling rack on a cookie sheet and cover with a towel. This will help to keep the gumballs from rolling around as you work.

Make sure to give the gumballs a little space so you can work without bumping into the others.

Next use the black icing to add eyes.

At this point, I kinda start thinking of this…just kidding.

But seriously, at this point use the orange icing to add a beak.

To finish up, use the yellow piping icing to add a sweet little puff of feathers to the top of the chickie’s head.

Let dry and you’ll have the cutest and easiest chickies you ever did see!
