Edible Clay Lace Valentine Heart Cookies (Tutorial)

Loving all things frilly and lacy,

I've been itchin' to make a cookie with authentic looking lace on it.

With

edible clay

and some very cool

lace silicone molds

, I believe I have finally achieved my goal.

Here's some of the lace molds I used on this post's heart cookies.

Outline and flood the base of the cookie.

(For these cookies, I added texture after they dried for 4 hours, but plain ones would work well too.)

Allow the flooded cookies to dry overnight.

Mold the edible clay in the lace mold and freeze for at least 1 hour.

Carefully peel the clay out of the mold.

Work quickly because as the clay warms up it will lose it's shape if handled too much.

Lay the lace clay across the cookie and trim the sides off.

A beautiful lacy cookie without too much fuss.....

Mixed Media on Cookies




Mixed Media.....the new craze.
Apparently it has been around quite a while in the art world,
but Pamoda of Sugar Pearls Cakes and Bakes has brought it to the forefront in the cookie world.

She has done two tutorials that knock the idea out of the park!


The beauty of mixed media is how each decorator can personalize them to her/his own tastes.
I'm certain, you would never see two that looked alike.....

As soon as I saw Pamoda's tutorials, I went right to work creating my own versions.
Here's my two attempts.
They are very eclectic, but then.....they are supposed to be. ;)

Edible Clay Flowers (Tutorial)






I keep seeing all these really cool cupcakes with flowers piped on top of them.
I dreamed that maybe edible clay could be piped on top of a cookie in a similar way. ;)

There's so many possibilities.....and I'm certainly not an expert on
decorating tips and all the things they can create.
But I did a little research and tried to make several different types of flowers.

For the lavender on the long rectangles, I used Arty McGoo's tutorial.
(No edible clay used on this one.....just glaze.)


For all of these flowers (except for the last one, which I've noted below),
use edible clay that has been thinned with a tiny amount of water to make it pipe-able.

I'm not sure which flower this one would be, (maybe Chrysanthemum?) but it looks pretty. haha
I used green edible clay in different leaf molds to make the background leaves.
Then I used a #81 tip for the flower petals.


This one reminds me of a hydrangea.
(remember......I'm no flower expert. I just love flowers. haha)
Leaves: #352 tip Flowers: #224 tip


For this one, I was going for a ranunculus flower. (Love them!)
Flower: #104 tip

Still trying for a ranunculus....with a different tip.
Grass: #233 tip  Flower: #1M tip


Finally, one of my all-time favorites, a coneflower.
(The colors aren't quite right, but the shape is what I'm referring to.)
Petals: Tip #81 
Crown Center: First pipe a large mound of clay, and then use a grass tip to make the bumps.


And finally, for the easiest flower of all, flood a fluted circle with glaze (no edible clay).
Wait about 4 hours, and then impress it with this stamper.
Add a flower center with glaze.


And there you have it.....an eclectic group of piped flowers. :)

Burlap Plaque Cookies (Tutorial)






Burlap is all the rage these days.
I've found a few ways to achieve the burlap-look using both glaze and edible clay.

This shabby chic American flag uses a burlap silicone texture mat with edible clay.

However for this tutorial, I used a texture mat on the glaze
and then some luster dust to shadow the texture.


Any cookie shape will work fine with this project.

Outline and flood the cookie with 10-second glaze and allow it to dry for about 4 hours.

Press this checks texture mat into the partially dried glaze.

Allow the cookies to dry overnight.



If desired, you can add some textured edible clay over the top of the burlap.

Roll out some white edible clay between two pieces of parchment paper.
Freeze the clay for at least one hour.


Back to the cookies......brush a mixture of dry bronze and black luster dusts on the cookies
to add shading that will emphasize the "burlap" texture.




Take the rolled edible clay from freezer and place a silicone texture mat face down on the clay.
Roll the rolling pin over the mat to impress the clay
Cut desired shapes out to embellish the burlap cookies.
