Eyelet Lace Valentine Heart Cookies (Tutorial)






Eyelet lace is one of those delicate treasures that reminds me of vintage valentines.

It's fairly simple to achieve an eyelet lace look on a cookie by making a very thin glaze
that has no color gel added whatsoever.
Since glaze is very transparent on it's own, it is the perfect medium to use for eyelet lace.

Decorate the middle of your cookie as desired.

Pipe regular 10-second white glaze for the border and holes (eyelets) of the lace.
(see photo below)
Note: It is recommended to allow the white outline to dry for a few hours before adding the thin glaze within the border walls. If the white outlining does not dry long enough, the white coloring will bleed into the transparent thin glaze over time......giving it a cloudy look.



Once the white border has been piped and dried thoroughly, make some very thin glaze without color.

You'll want it to be runny, as shown by the photo below.




Here's a video to show the process of adding the thin transparent glaze.






If desired, pipe additional dots around the eyelet lace border with regular 10-second white glaze.
