Playing with Stencils

I learned a lesson with these cookies.  Don’t top my cookies with fondant when stenciling. My stencil kept sticking in the fondant.

Great practice, goid to know about the fondant

Thanks!  In the middle of the cookies the stencil gun broke and wouldn’t turn off.  Luckily I have an extra.  Even after disassembling and reassembling it was a lost cause.

Playing with stencils is so  much fun!! Great work

Hey, I see some of my stencils!  Nice work with them. Yeah, you might have to wait longer before you stencil fondant. Also, I find fondant results in a slightly rougher/grainier looking stenciled pattern, as there is some grain to rolled fondant that you don't get with perfectly smooth royal icing. (When airbrushing, that is. If stenciling with thicker royal icing, the results on either surface are pretty indistinguishable.)

I have 22 of your stencil sets, so they do show up frequently.  I’ve decided if I’m going to be a member of the stencil of the month club, I need to use them.  So when I have extra dough I create cookies for stencil play.  This time I wanted to intermix your stencils with others I own.

Yay! Thanks again for your Club membership! I saw that you used other stencils, which is great - they are designed to be mixed and matched. FYI - as you probably saw, I added tags about my stencils so others would know they were used here, but it would be nice to do the same for the other stencil makers. I just don’t know who they are, so if you can add so all get equal billing, that would be great!

I don’t think I know the others, but I’ll try in the future.
