@Saraujo, Are you talking about the detailing on the very edge of the purple plate? If so, it is hand-piped with royal icing of a relatively thick consistency using a parchment cone with a barely perceptible hole in the tip. I prefer to do most of my piping with a cone, because I think it offers better control when piping at this scale. The flatter interior pattern on the purple plate was done with a stencil from designerstencils.com. Hope this answers your question!
Met you at OSSAS and got your book! Love it and love your cookies....these are beautiful and when I first saw them (not knowing who did them) my first thought was they looked like yours! HA and they are!!
Hi, Nancy! I had actually intended to have these put together for OSSAS but other life events got in the way, so I finally got around to assembling them last week. Nice to meet you and thanks for the kind remarks!
@Rosie2, Thanks! I have two books. The first is called Cookie Swap: Creative Treats to Share Throughout the Year. The second is called Ultimate Cookies and is purely a cookie decorating book. Both can be purchased on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or at any indie bookstore. Or through the home page of my site, which links off to Amazon: www.juliausher.com. Thanks for asking. More details on the latter book are also here on my site: (...)
Oh my Gosh, the cookie wedding cakes are amazing. Can you picture them in the center of each table as centerpieces during the Thanksgiving/Christmas season? Were they builr around foam dummies? In other words, what's in the middle of each tier? Does one of your cookie books have step by step directions?
@DeniseNH, No, they don't have styrofoam dummies in them. The gingerbread panels are "glued" together at the corners with thick royal icing, much the way you'd assemble a gingerbread house; then square cookies are stacked inside each tier to support the next one. So all is edible!
