to do an online photo tutorial using one of their cutters for their BLOG.
I chose a fun and easy design using my preferred method of cookie decorating, fondant
(which tastes GREAT!) In six easy steps we go from freshly baked cookie to masterpiece.
If you are in the market for high quality copper cookie cutters, this is the company to deal with.
Eric does amazing work and the quality is unsurpassed. Jamie provides excellent customer service.
They have even done really cool custom cutters for us which we cherish to this day!
We’ve been dealing with them for years and highly recommend them.
1. The first step in decorating cookies in fondant is to have everything you need set up ahead of time. Fondant is the diva of all icings and demands to be dealt with “right now.” There is no waiting period with fondant and air is the biggest enemy of fondant when you are decorating with it. In this picture I have from top left the Ecrandal life ring cutter with inset. I made six cookies using a rolled cookie dough (any dough with the word “rolled” in the title will work.) I used heated and strained peach preserves for my “glue” and to add extra flavor to the cookie. The cookie is Vanilla flavor, as is the Satin Ice fondant
(I chose the nautical theme of red, white and blue for these cookies)
so the peach flavor gives the cookie a little zing.
2. Using the cutter and the inset, roll out the fondant and cut the fondant to fit the cookie. The fondant is stretchy so don’t worry if it doesn’t fit exactly when you cut it. Put the “glue” (strained preserves) on the back of the fondant (NOT on the cookie directly) and match up the fondant to the cookie, using the palette knife to help shape the fondant.
3. Your cookie should now look like this.
4. Get all the base cookies done first before starting on the detail work.
5. Roll small logs of fondant in contrasting colors and cut about one inch lengths. Lightly brush the preserve glue on the back and flatten onto the cookie with your finger. Use the palette knife to straighten the contrasting logs and round the edges.
6. And there you have the finished product, a really fun cookie for the summer. Now go buy your cutters and get started!
(Remember, if you're not having FUN, you're doing it wrong!!)
Thank you to Eric and Jamie for requesting this tutorial!!
