In the Instagram reel by @sharmeendoeshenna, we see the artist pressing a hand-shaped mould into flattened cookie dough. Once the 'palms' have been separated, she starts making designs on them using an icing bag with a thin tip. The icing has a deep brown colour like mehendi, and the designs she makes are also typical of henna art. Several Instagram users thought she was using chocolate for the designs. However, in the comments, she has revealed that she has actually used royal icing with brown food colour. Watch the complete reel here:
