Oh my goodness. It is hard to understand this is a cookie, because of the perfection and the beauty of it!

Thanks for your kind words, Elke ❣️ Am happy you like it 😁!

Pretty! So is it one big transfer - with inner part filled with isomalt and rest filled with icing? 

Thank you, Julia (also for improving my tagging!) ❣️

Yes, that's it...one big transfer, since I'm not good at piping exact patterns "freehand". And a Pico wouldn't do it either for so much detail. The cookie is only backing the outer, monochrome part (filled with icing only), leaving light to shine through the inner part (filled with both icing and Isomalt)

Thanks again!

Amazing 

You always amaze ... Beautiful, Sonja !!!

And you, too, dear Ewa! Thank you so much 😘❣️

This is not possible Sonja.  I'm dumbfounded.   How did you apply the isomalt?  The areas are so tiny.         It would never occur to me to create a cookie from such a complex design.   Every phase can stand on it's own.  Simply spellbinding.        Pip

Thanks so much, Pip, for yet another uplifting comment 😊❣️ The Isomalt is applied into royal icing openings with the scribe tool, drop by drop, or a pin, if the openings are real tight. For that it must have just the right temperature, so it can still be transported (hang on to the needle long enough) to the spot needed and flow into the tiny corners... Thanks again 😊😘!

Precioso!

Oh how fabulous dear Sonja!! @iSugarfy (aka swissophie) . I love every bit of this artistic masterpiece. Better yet, it's truly wonderful to see another post from you...I've missed you bunches. Hugs...❤️❤️❤️

So, in short, my mind is blown. From the apps that you used to create your own template, to your pin technique for transferring minuscule amounts of isomalt, to your piping the intricate border pattern, you have left me speechless. I think I have more in reading through your comments to this entry than I have in the last year of cookieing! Brava, brava!

Thanks a lot for your kind words, Christine @Bakerloo Station! They really mean a lot to me.

I learned quite a  bit myself doing this. It took me a while to get it somewhat right with the new setup I have. I piped that interior 4 times. At first I made it too thin, and the lines started breaking when I was filling in the hot isomalt, then a corner broke off on a finished one, and one started to buckle from the humidity after a couple of days (forgot to protect it with spray). I ended up filling in parts with RI and doubling the lines to strengthen the whole thing. I'll yet have to find out, though, how I can fill in again single piping layers (like I did with the butterfly suncatcher) with this new setup.

Thanks again so much ❤️!!!

I can't believe those small details are made of isomalt. Just stunning!💕

Thank you, Christine 😊❣️ I think you can do this, once you play around with Isomalt a bit. You're a genius and could figure it out, plus you have the calm and patience of a saint 😁.

How beautiful!
