Hey there!
Any ideas or tips on how to get the details down on Princess Peach and Super Mario cookies? Customer wants me to use the fondant cupcakes found on flickr as inspiration. I found some "templates" to use as cutters online. I always use NFSC and Antonia's R.I. Should I just attempt to do the details w/ R.I. or is there someway to get the detail exactly right? Like chocolate transfers or FBCT - but in royal icing? How should I do this?
TIA!
Do you have a link to the pictures? There are a lot of Mario cakes on Flickr.

The first image is the image she gave me. The 2nd is the one I plan to use for my template.
Thanks again!
I would flood the larger areas (hat, face and body) and then add detail (eyes, hair buttons, gloves and shoes) with fondant or a med. RI. Same for the princess. Good luck. Those ought to be really cute.
I have to make some mario cookies for a friend for next Friday and I can't figure out what to do for them?? I love those cupcakes but I'm afraid if I did cookies like that it wouldn't be recognizable unless they were all put together to form the "picture" like those cupcakes are!
Just wanted to post back that I finished the Mario cookies and all the black was bleeding UGH!! I almost told the customer she could just "have" them because they looked so horrible...but I really need the money so I just told myself that if she complains she'll get a refund. She loved them and then I opened my mouth and said "all the black is bleeding into the face" and she waved her hand and said "oh stop, they're perfect" and handed me a check whooooooo....I did only charge $1.00 each though so at least she got a deal. I had to make 30 of these puppies and the only way I could figure to do it was freehand! I handcut them cuz I didn't feel like making a cutter (I had a million other things going on at the time)and I definitely didn't feel like making mmf or handcutting that (much easier to cut cookie dough than mmf with a perfect edge) so I had to use royal icing and it all bleed....
here is my sea of Bleeding Marios.......and another pic. so you can see more closely! Thanks for posting the pics they helped a ton.
Cute, cute, cute! Don't worry, the kids don't care about the bleeding (won't even notice), they will gobble them up! Although, I bet some don't get eaten, if they are like my kids, the ones that are too cu te to eat, they hang on their bulliten board or set up on their dresser. These are definitley a keeper! nice job!!
You really did a great job. Mine are due next week! How long did you wait for the skin color to dry before adding your black, just out of curiosity? I don't want to make the same mistake, although you really can't even tell they're bleeding in the pic!
Thanks!

I didn't wait long at all.........I'm sure that was the problem. Initially I piped on the black details and such and then filled in around with the skin color and those ones didn't bleed at all. The ones where I colored in the whole face and let let it set maybe half an hour or so and went back and put the black on top.....every one of those bled!
I posted my pics in the gallery. I dropped them off, and I was told by an employee of the customer that she might not like them because they don't look exactly like the picture. I guess she is very picky, according to this person. Well - great - now I'm waiting for a complaint phone call. Yay for me!
