Nice! Are the little stars made by stenciling with royal icing, or some other way?

I used a stencil for airbrushing I didn’t have any star sprinkles cause this was a last minute request so I made my own they were thin so I had to be careful with them but they worked for what I was using them for

I want to try that challenge #57 but I’m scared I won’t know how to do everything I’m my worst critic when it comes to my cookie work I see the mistakes when everyone else sees none 😂

I would just go for it - as you said, you may see things but it's quite likely others won't. You might also consider my competition. The entries are anonymous so no one other than the judges need to see them, and you'll get truly valuable feedback.

Yes, stenciled transfers can be so thin and delicate. I just made some little bows for a project for a shoot, and I had to be super careful. Manu seemed to have slightly thicker acetate in her challenge kickoff video than I have/used, which accounts for her transfers seeming to be less fragile.

I’m so glad you mentioned what it was she was using cause I had no idea what that stuff was called so now I know and yes if I enter I will definitely be trying to find thicker as well
