WOW! All of these cookies are so amazing! Way to go GeminiRJ, Drakegore, All4Cake & Endymion!
Well Said
Drakegore, I love the colors! What type of icing did you use? It looks so shiney.(wish mine would stay that way)
Drakegore, those are gorgeous! I always envy you guys who do such pristinely clean work!
gorgeous cookies all of you.............as usual!!!!
Drakegore, how did you make the flowers...do you have a former/cutter set that pops them out perfectly like that?? (I really hope you do!! lol)
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got home from a 10-day trip, and the first thing I wanted to check on was the Cookie Club .
My husband gave me an idea for an independence cookie, but I think I'd better unpack and do laundry first before I bake!

i SO have a former, lol. it's just the little silicone 5 petal former that has the top and bottom pieces. but i do NOT use the basic 5 petal cutter (really hate that cutter for some irrational reason). i have several other small 5 petal cutters that i use instead. i used either the bellflower or petunia cutter for these with modeling chocolate. i have used the same former with teeny tiny 5 petal cutters too. love that thing .

thank you! i use toba's glace, slightly modified. she calls for 3/8 c. corn syrup and 3/8 c. water to 1lb PS. i use 1/4 cup instead (this is for my flood, i stiffen further for outline).

Diane, your cookies are awesome! I love your clean, geometric design. And then you add on the flower for a soft, beautiful look. Very classy and sophisticated!
thank you! i am in my "geometric period", lol. i can't seem to stop with the geometric shapes...i need to do a nice lady bug cookie or something
Thank you so much for the info on the cutters, I need to make some flowers similar to that for a wedding cake and you just made my life SO MUCH easier........can't thank you enough!!!
drakegore, your flowers are beautiful. What are they made out of? fondant? modeling chocolate?
The one at decorate the cake says it's a 2 piece veiner, but the one at GSA says it's a double sided veiner. Do you know if these products are identical or if they are similar but actually different products or brands? It's hard to tell.
Thanks!
they are modeling chocolate. i always try to use MC instead of fondant when i can (tastier on a cookie to me).
they are the same thing, different brands. they are both two pieces that fit together sandwiching your cutout between them and veining it on both top and bottom of the flower. i bought the cheaper one to save money and because i do not like the set cutter and i have been thrilled with it.
there is a limitation on the size of the cutter, it cannot be more than 1.25" because the pressing of the veiners will leave an unsightly seam if any of the cutout extends outside of the veiner top and bottom.
so darn easy it's embarassing

LOL! and it came to your hubby? I think you did a great job on it! I love the flames!
Thanks! Yeah, my husband's a hoot.
I'm seriously wanting to get better at this cookie thing, so if any of you would be willing to tell me what I could've done differently, I'd reeeaaaallly appreciate it. TIA!
Dang it! I cannot see the picture. Did they remove it or something?
Sounds like a great idea!
Finally I found this thread!! I've been traveling then I came back and couldn't find it for the life of me!
It looks like people are done posting for this month. I can hardly wait for August and a new theme!
I was going to do something for this month, but I'm just going to wait till next month. Can't wait to find out the theme. Love all the cookies. They look great.
do we know what the theme for august is yet? i know there is another week to go, i am just excited, lol.
