Math Teacher 'Thank you' - The Woodsy Wife Bakery

Cute, but just curious as to what part of these cookies is stenciled? You selected that clip set/category for the photo, and I don't see any stenciling on them, but maybe I am missing something. Thanks!

I sketched the typography on paper, and then created a stencil of it that I used to trace onto the cookie before piping ( I don't trust my freehand yet).  It now occurs to me that stenciling may refer specifically to airbrush stenciling?

Oh, I understand now what you did. No, stenciling on this site refers to stenciling with any medium through a stencil - be it airbrushing, spreading icing over the stencil, dusting over the stencil, etc. But it sounds like you just used the stencil as a tracing guide rather than spreading icing through the stencil, which is why this piece doesn't look stenciled, but rather piped. I think I'll remove it from the stenciling set even so, just because it isn't overtly stenciled in the way one usually thinks about stenciling.

Alright, thank you for letting me know.  

So cute!
