Is there a way to transfer a complicated outline onto a cookie and then go over it with royal icing? I want to do a mascot cookie and I think it is a little too adventurous for me to try and freehand. Does anyone have any tips on this or even know if it is possible? I guess I could try a projector, but I really don't want to buy one.

Make a stencil of the design you want to transfer. Then either use an airbrush or a little nylon filled with cocoa to apply outline on the cookie. Either method works like a charm. thumbs_up.gif

kiddiekakes - I have the same one. Isn't it great?!?! I always try to find something to write on my cookies now since I got it. LOL icon_lol.gif

atkin600 - Perhaps using an unmounted stamp colored with food markers or gel paste....

i dont know if this will help you or not but...i recently did this for a cake...

if you can get the image on your computer....

take a clear (white ) grocery bag cut it in half and tape it to your computer screen..

using a dry erase marker trace the image on the bag.

tape the bag down to table or on the wall and place a sheet of wax paper over it and tape that down.

trace over that w/ marker onto the wax paper.

using a rasor blade cut out the image from the wax paper..

use that as stencil.

hope that maybe that helps ya a little..

best of luck.

let me know how they turn out.
