Quilled Peacock

The whole peacock is one big transfer, and I messed up placing it on the cookie (off center). But am happy it didn't break! The outer feathers I reinforced with some white icing after the first round, and that helped.

Beautiful!

WOW, Sonja! Another stunning creation.

That’s some pretty amazing cookie!

You made it a transfer!?😳  O my gosh Sonja, you did it again. Simply elegant.       Pip

Wow..this is amazing! Really love this. What a perfection.❤🦚❤

Exquisite ❤❤❤

Even with a Pico I wouldn't have been able to get this design onto a cookie. It's way to complex, and I'm kind of a perfectionist , so the only way was to make it a transfer.

Since there is extra strength in the stacked lines, I was not worried too much about the interior where the lines touch each other. And the outside feathers, as mentioned above, I just reinforced with white icing. Still had to take extra care when transferring it onto the cookie, as I felt the peacock was with 20cm diameter too large to be held with fingers. I first got it loose with a thin, but quite sturdy piece of plastic and then with that pulled it onto a thin glass from a picture frame (had to be something transparent), then onto the cookie.

Thanks so much for your kind words, @pip ❤️❤️❤️!!!

You need to put this cookie on top of a cake so that you can charge $500 for it!  The detail work is incredible!!! 

Sonja, you always enthuse me anew!!!!!!! 1000% ❤️

Incredible ...............................!!!!!!

Wow, impressive!

AMAZING dear Sonja @iSugarfy (aka swissophie)!!! What precision work and gorgeous colors on the peacock. Once again your design makes me say "WOW" ❤️ ❤️

I'm trying to imagine handling the whole peacock transfer...talk about being nervous!!! You always inspire me, my friend

The quilling effect you have produced is stunning! I am inspired to try something with this technique. Thanks so much for sharing your process of doing it as a transfer. 

Oh WoW, Sonja, this is sooo beautiful! Amazing work. Congratulations!🥰

What a beauty!  Sonja, you keep us amazed.

I didn't have to take the transfer into hands... that would have been too risky, as it's about 20cm in diameter. Instead I loosened it with a stiff piece of plastic and slid it onto a thin glass from a picture frame (had to be transparent to see where to place), then onto the cookie.

Thanks a million for your kind words, dear Carol @Cookies Fantastique ❤️❤️❤️!!!

I am almost speechless. Almost.

This is absolutely brilliant. The design is just stunning. I am blown away by the fact that this is a transfer. I would love to know exactly how you reinforced the outer feathers with the white royal icing, and whether to placed the transfer onto freshly-flooded cookie, or if the base icing was already dried. IF the base coat of icing was already dry, then did you mere affix the transfer with dabs of royal icing here and there (if so, I cannot see them!). Finally, can I just say I am in love with the border on this cookie. It is absolutely gorgeous and could not compliment the peacock any better. What a spectacular addition to the challenge!
