Hi, been reading here for close to a year, and my first post is to ask for help!!! I have a possible order for 360 cookies for a wedding. They would like their initials on a rectangular cookie. Can I do all the letter in RI on parchment or wax paper, let dry and place on frosted cookie? How would the letter stick? Or would it be better to write the letter on each cookie?
I appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks
Caron
with that many cookies I would suggest you do the royal direct on the cookie, here is a sample of one we did onto an edible image.
also if you add a smidgen of light corn syrup to the royal it will flow better, and adding some lemon to the royal will offset that additional sweetness
You could do it in sugarveil- I love the stuff- and you'll have zero error on the cookie!

I believe they do customs monograms stencils. If you look at photos the cookies are done with their stencil and royal icing. Decorated three days before my daughters party.
Kiss my cookie...that cookie is absolutely gorgeous! It is hard to tell from the pix, but is it multiple layers???

I love the suggestions for the stencil, what a great idea!!!
I also have a large order for monogram wedding cookies, thought I would get a head start and do what you are thinking of.. did the monogram on wax and parchament paper, and almost everyone of them broke.. ugh. going to end up doing them on the cookie.
Would love to do the sugarveil, but I'm not charging her enough to warrant buying it.
justsweet,
I love your monogram cookies!
Do you paint thinned royal icing on the stencil? How do you keep it from bleeding on the cookie?
Thanks,
Leslie
I use this recipe from antonia
http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-1983-Antonia74-Royal-Icing.html
I lay the stencil on the cookie. Use a small spatula I pick up some royal icing, scrap it across the stencil and lift quickly. Out of 80 cookies only 3 had to be redone. Because it is on fondant, wiped quickly with a damp paper towel, let dry then re-do. royal icing was stiff. Let dry, then package.
Also, you e-mail Antonia74 she made some cookies in which she made the stencils. Which is easy to do too.
I use americolor, never had any bleeding problems. Love that americolor.
Yes, I used a home-made stencil for a Chinese character I didn't feel comfortable trying to replicate on a big wedding order. It was super easy! I used a stecil brush & lustre dust though....then TO MY ABSOLUTE HORROR 
I SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT I'D FLIPPED THE STENCIL BACKWARDS. I HAD TO START ALL OVER AGAIN. 
(That was my worst cookie disaster ever! )
I'm a bigger fan of just free-handing the monograms now.
