These tuile cones are simply perfect – and perfectly simple! They’re by far the easiest of the three tuile shapes that Julia demonstrates in this instructional video. So start with them and then advance to her fortune cookies and stenciled
Julia’s tuile cups are delicious just plain, but don’t they look all the more fabulous when stenciled with cocoa?! For the complete how-to, please visit Julia’s YouTube channel.
Leaf it to Julia (pun intended) to bring the beauty of nature to her sweets! Every detail of these leaves, down to their delicate veins, was rendered completely in chocolate. For the step-by-step instructional video, visit Julia’s YouTube channel.
Yes, please! As lifelike as these cups and saucers might appear, they are 100-percent cookie and royal icing, with a touch of tinted isomalt for the “tea”. A perfect treat for an actual tea party! To learn how to make
Zooming in on these teacups, you can see just how rich they are with techniques. The gold one was stenciled and airbrushed using frosting sheets for stencils. The upper edges of both cups were detailed with piping, rubber-stamped fondant appliqués,
Well, they’re spoonfuls of cookies, to be exact! Every ounce of these shimmering teaspoons, the companions to Julia’s 3-D teacup project, is either cookie or royal icing! For the step-by-step how-to, check out Julia’s YouTube video!
Here’s a closer view of Julia’s cluster of teaspoon cookies. Though they look rather fancy, they are actually quite fast to make because they are largely free of royal icing except for the intricate piping on their handles. Their shimmer
Indeed! These marshmallow bunnies are even cuter when you zoom in and appreciate all of their details, like their googly eyes and royal icing flower necklaces. And the details are what make them such a fun group decorating project. Simply
For sure! Made entirely of cookies, SugarVeil lace (the original cake lace), and royal icing, these baskets aren’t just unusually beautiful, they’re also 100-percent edible! For all of the how-to details, watch Julia’s YouTube video. And for the SugarVeil products
To put Julia’s 3-D Easter basket details into perspective, here are some stats: the basket is only 2 3/4 inches in diameter, and the SugarVeil grid on the sides has roughly 10 teeny squares per inch! It takes a fair
Now, let’s lean into Julia’s 3-D Easter basket cookie to really inspect that needlepoint lace! Of course, the grid could be piped with royal icing, as Julia has done on many other projects, but it’s far faster to make it
Of course, Julia couldn’t stop at one Easter basket. She had to make two! For this style variation, she omitted the stamped fondant plaque shown elsewhere in the gallery, and let the SugarVeil lace wrap stand on its own (well
Here’s another close view of these eggs-tra special Easter favors. Julia dyed this one with beets and then affixed floral tissue paper and an edible wafer paper butterfly on top. She used nontoxic glue, but edible piping gel would work
It’s difficult to design 3-D cookies so that they view well from all angles. But if you plan properly by sketching your designs and test-baking the various components as Julia does, you won’t be chasing rainbows. This view of Julia’s
It looks like a leprechaun has gone missing in Julia’s pot-o-gold cookie, or that he’s off chasing a rainbow and left his hat behind! Either way, don’t you just love how the details of this project spark the imagination? As
Another whimsical spin on Julia’s St. Paddy’s Day project, this cookie is topped with a royal icing leprechaun pipe, a candy rainbow, and gilded chocolate rocks! Yes, the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow is especially sweet!
