This is the second set I did using the Love stencil set. I did each cookie by itself. Washed the stencils between cookies. Seemed like I was changing colors in my airbrush gun a lot but I tried different combinations of colors since I was cleaning my gun after each color anyway. These were fun. I didn't do shading on the masked piece on these. Wish I would have tried it. I love these stencil sets. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks Julia!! --Katy

They look nice. Is the quality as nice as designer stencils?
Have you tried them using royal Icing?
They are tempting me to buy.
Hi, these are my stencil designs, so I can speak from lots of experience with testing them . . . we use 10 mil food-grade Mylar, as does Designer Stencils. All other stencil companies, to my knowledge, use 6-8 mil acetate. So my stencils are super durable (necessary for some of my more delicate designs) yet still sufficiently conformable to cookie surfaces to get crisp stenciled patterns with no to minimal underspray.
I have tested every one with royal icing, and the frames and words all work very nicely with it. Some of my letters/words are more delicate than what you'll find in other stencils, but this just means adjusting the icing consistency to get the best possible stencil. If the icing is too thick, the icing can sometimes lift when you lift the stencil. Some of the backgrounds work better than others with royal icing, but this is true of any stencil. I favor more delicate and intricate designs, so some of the backgrounds have very fine spacing, which again means that you have to play closer attention to icing consistency when working with them. But as the stencils are intended to be layered with the background going down first, then, more often than not, you'd want to airbrush the background anyway.
