Stamped Icing Tutorial
I have used the Berry Twig Stamp to create some cookie toppers. I first published this idea a couple of years ago - but I love this updated version!
- Roll the icing between 2 sheets of non-stick baking parchment. (You may need to knead a little cornflour into your icing paste beforehand to make it less sticky) Also, lightly dust the surface of the icing with cornstarch (again to remove any trace of stickiness )
- Spread some gel icing onto an acrylic stamping block
- Use another acrylic stamping block rubbed on top to spread the coloring thinly
- Ink your stamp with the colouring – patting gently to give an even coating
- Press stamp lightly but firmly into the icing
- You should have a stamped impression
- Repeat stamped image all over the icing. You will need to "re-ink" your stamp each time
- Cut out images using a cookie cutter and leave to dry thoroughly
- Your icing is ready to use!
If some of your images don't turn out so well - especially when you are trying this for the first time - just knead the icing to create a pale colored version and use as colored icing!
They look great when finished and of course you can experiment to use any stamp and shape too. I then made some boxes using the Echo Park This and That Christmas Collection
Treat Boxes
To create these boxes - I modified this file and cut with my Cameo. The paper and stickers are from the This and That Christmas Elements Sticker Sheet.
