Let’s pause for a sec just to admire the tiny details on this cookie made with Julia’s Live Sweetly Dynamic Duos™ stencil sets. The “egg yolk” is a royal icing transfer; the “flour” is powdered sugar attached with piping gel; the dimensional basket is a contoured fondant appliqué; and all the other breads and sweets are also royal icing transfers. To learn more or to purchase, visit Julia’s stencil partner Confection Couture Stencils’ site. To make your own designs with these stencils, check out Julia’s YouTube video for tips and techniques.

Julia’s Kitchen Club

In September 2022, Julia’s Stencil of the Month Club was reincarnated as Julia’s Kitchen Club, and Julia couldn’t be more excited about the change! But why mess with an already excellent thing, you ask? Simply put, the redesign was in response to your requests for more product variety (i.e., cutters to go with Julia’s stencils), more time to experiment with Julia’s stencils, and more tips for using them to create beautiful results. Not ones to take feedback lightly, Julia and her stencil partner Confection Couture Stencils acted quickly to address all of your desires, and more!

Corner Plaque Cookie Cutter

Julia popularized this classic Corner Plaque cutter design by using it in so many of her cookie stencil releases. It’s definitely one of her faves! While it can be oriented any which way relative to the design on the cookie top, she loves it in the “diamond” position (first photo), because it allows the best exposure of her background stencils. This cutter is available in three sizes; the price reflects the smallest 2-inch size. Julia most often uses the 4-inch size.

How Does Your Garden Grow? Dynamic Duos Stencil Sets

Julia’s March 2020 release, called How Does Your Garden Grow?, represents her dream of a secret garden, so lush with flowers and heady with their scents that one can’t help but be transported to some magical place! Originally designed with Mother’s Day in mind, these sets also work for birthdays, garden parties, general pick-me-up gifts, or spring celebrations.

Pretty as a Flower Dynamic Duos Stencil Sets

Julia’s March 2021 Dynamic Duos™ stencil release, called Pretty as a Flower, combines one of her favorite places with one of her favorite people: Maine, where lupine and sweet peas grow wild with abandon, and her mom, who can be a bit wild at times too! The addition of delicate butterfly and dragonfly overlays makes this design a perfect fit for garden-loving moms everywhere! It works wonderfully for Mother’s Day, birthdays, garden parties, housewarmings . . . you name it!
