The beauty of Julia’s stencils sets is that they can work in so many ways – with elements airbrushed and stenciled directly on cookies or turned into royal icing transfers or fondant appliqués for added dimension. Here, Julia used her July 2021 Dynamic Duos™ stencil release, called Birds and Bittersweet, and took the latter approach, creating a fondant appliqué for the bird and an icing transfer for the pumpkin in the foreground. Don’t they add so much drama and depth? To learn more or to purchase, visit Julia’s stencil partner Confection Couture Stencils’ site, or check out the “RELATED PRODUCTS” links.

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!

Birds and Bittersweet Dynamic Duos Stencil Sets

If it’s still hot in your hemisphere, fall may not be calling you just yet. But, with the way time flies, it will be soon! To get you geared up for the active autumn cookie season, Julia’s got just the stencil set for you in Birds and Bittersweet, her July 2021 release. It features two of Julia’s favorite things – fall flora and fauna – and, as usual, it’s nearly infinitely adaptable (not to mention completely charming)!

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.

Thanksgiving Place Card Dynamic Duos Stencil Sets

Julia is a sucker for stunning place settings, and particularly ones with an element of surprise. That’s why she’s especially excited about her September 2021 stencil release, aptly call Thanksgiving Place Card, which will allow you to make a plethora of edible message or name cards to grace your holiday table. (The surprise is that the cards taste as good as they look!) Use the readymade inscriptions from the message and frame set, or leave the frames empty and personalize your cookies by writing, piping, or stenciling guests’ names inside instead.
