Julia’s not just a stencil gal! She routinely designs cookie cutters to go with her stencil releases, and always names those cutters after people who have shaped her life in meaningful ways. The gift-shaped cutter used to make this cookie
In 2021, Julia had the distinct pleasure of launching a collaboration with the world-renowned Japan Salonaise Association (JSA), an organization that trains sugar artists in Japan and other Asian markets to become teachers or to start other sweets businesses. In
Here’s a slightly different angle on Julia’s cacti container garden made as a training project for Japan Salonaise Association (JSA). All of the internal structures (even the perfectly rounded hemispheres!) are made of cookies, and most pieces are iced with
This zoomed-in view of Julia’s cacti container garden made for her 2021 Japan Salonaise Association (JSA) collaboration provides a more complete view of the work required to craft the foreground pots, as well as the cacti and succulents. The leftmost
Julia loves making spherical cookies, partly because they’re the easiest 3-D shape to dip with royal icing, and then, when dipped well, they’re just so satisfying to behold. This spherical cacti container is a case in point. Doesn’t it look
Another project made for Julia’s collaboration with Japan Salonaise Association (JSA), this stenciled bud vase filled with sakura demonstrates two of the easiest 3-D assembly techniques: sandwiching (placing cookies back to back and then standing them on end) and cookie
Let’s focus for a sec on the details of the two blue bud vases made for Julia’s training session for Japan Salonaise Association (JSA) instructors. Julia used this project not only to demonstrate the 3-D sandwiching technique, but also to
While perhaps not strictly 3-D themselves, cookie pops can look very dimensional by virtue of attaching royal icing transfers to them or arranging them in groups to create “volume” in a larger cookie display. Elsewhere in this gallery, these sakura
Many cookiers credit kismet for the meeting of Julia’s stencil and cookie cutter product lines. Indeed, there couldn’t be a better, more seamless design fit between the two. In September 2021, Julia unveiled her first cookie cutter, the Denver Plaque,
And tasty too! Made with Julia’s Thanksgiving Place Card Dynamic Duos™ stencil sets and custom name stencils, these cookies are a great way to give a shout-out to holiday guests to let them know how much you care. In lieu
Another big and beautiful cookie crafted with Julia’s Thanksgiving Place Card Dynamic Duos™ stencil sets – plus, a custom monogram stencil! Though this cookie is elaborately layered with overlapping stencil elements, the ingenious masking system in every one of Julia’s
Even though airbrushed almost entirely in black, Julia’s August 2021 Dynamic Duos™ stencil sets, called Bad to the Bone, are extremely high impact by virtue of their intricate detail and layered design. To learn more or to purchase, visit Julia’s
In this fully-loaded look, Julia uses both sets in her Bad to the Bone August 2021 Dynamic Duos™ design – the message and frame set and the background set – to spook-tacular effect. Her sets employ various masks that make
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
Of course, even the messages in Julia’s sets can be made as fondant appliqués to add interest and depth to cookies. For this cookie, Julia airbrushed and stenciled the bunting in her Birds and Bittersweet Dynamic Duos™ stencil set onto
See how stunning the birds and bittersweet look all by themselves! Here, Julia has used just the background set in her aptly entitled Birds and Bittersweet Dynamic Duos™ stencil release, and, as you can see, these cookies look just as
