I want to stencil a design onto a cookie iced with mmf (straight out the oven). How long do I have to wait before I decorate?
I would like to stencil the design with luster dust. If I airbrush, how can I keep the stencil from moving? Can I paint the luster dust on with the stencil using a fine tip artist brush (It will be fine lines and writting) what kind of brush should I be using?
Can I cut out the mmf shape first, stencil (let dry) then apply mmf to hot cookie? Would this have an effect on the luster dust design? OR
Would using the pencil technique be easier then I can go over it with a fine artist brush using the lusted dust? TIA
I use fondant to ice my cookies. After they bake, I use a powdered sugar glaze on the cookie and let that dry.
Cut out the fondant shape using the cookie cutter, wet a wide brush with water, brush on glazed cookie and attach the fondant piece. Let it dry so when you use a fine brush to apply the luster dust, the fondant will not be pulled and will not retain the brush marks. That fondant will have a slight crust on top and will still be soft underneath.
I'm a little confused miriel.
I want to put my mmf on while cookie is hot. Are you saying apply the glaze on mmf let dry then apply painted so brush won't pull mmf. What ps glaze are you referring to. Thanks
I do not place anything on the cookie while it is hot. I wait till they are cooled, apply a powdered sugar/cornsyrup/water glaze, wait till that is dry, apply the fondant, wait till it has a little crust on top then apply luster dust and other decor on the cookie.
If you needed the recipe for the sugar glaze, let me know. It adds to the taste/texture of the cookie, and makes them fresher longer imho.
miriel are you talking about "poured fondant"? not the rolled type. this is what I am gathering from your posts.
No. The glaze recipe I posted above is just glaze (cookie shell). I still use fondant to cover the top of the cookie and decorate.
It is very thin. With poured fondant, you don't see what's underneath. The cookie glaze is translucent so you can still see the cookie.

Would you post your glaze recipe? Please
Thanks
Here it is:
Cookie glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
Microwave for 1 minute and strain. This prevents blotching.
Mix thoroughly before each use. Use a pastry brush to paint glaze over the back of the cookie first. Allow the back to dry thoroughly and then glaze the front and sides of the cookie. The thin coat of glaze will resemble a candy shell.
Allow the glaze to thoroughly dry before handling the cookie or applying further decorations.
