Julia was playing with royal icing texture long before it was a thing. Here, she stenciled a partially dry cookie with her Vintage Bon Voyage Prettier Plaques™ set, and then gently pressed the surface to create this crackled effect. And, because she was really going for an antiqued look, she “aged” those cracks with a light dusting of cocoa powder. To learn more or to purchase this set, visit Julia’s stencil partner Confection Couture Stencils’ site. For tips for using it, take a look at Julia’s YouTube video.
