Julia worked her mixed media magic yet again on this cookie, crafted with her Magic Wishes Dynamic Duos™ sets. Here, the fairy’s body is a fondant appliqué that hovers over the cookie on a fondant “prop”, and the wings are wafer paper. Both elements were airbrushed and stenciled with the large fairy foreground element in the design’s background set. (The complementary message and frame set wasn’t used on this cookie, but, if you scroll through this gallery, you’ll see it in action on other fairy cookies.)

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.
