Lots of hard work, but a mesmerising outcome. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐

Thank you Ferda 😘❣️. Doing the cookie was very satisfying. The only hard work was taking pictures, haha! I'm not good at it, and trying to get both clear Isomalt with light in the back and RI show is difficult...

Amazing work, Sonja  ... but I still don't know how you do it 

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 😁.

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 ❤️!!!

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 😊😘!
