Thanks for the information Debbie! I’d love to see some images if you’d like to send them.

I tried the isomalt on gingerbread windows….baking it with the raw forms but it didn’t come out too well. I think it was because I tinted the isomalt with food coloring first in attempting to make stained glass windows. The jolly ranchers were ever so beautiful but in the deep south will weep when the humidity comes…so ended up with lifesavers. I did learn that once you heat up the isomalt it is too hot to drip into tiny window forms before it sets….by accident I realized too late that I could have spread the isomalt out and simply place my baked gingerbread window in the mixture top side up. It picked up the isomalt and made a beautiful window from the back side.
Love your cookies!
Thanks for your help,
Debbie

Hi Rossana,
I use Americolor black… I like it better than the Wilton paste coloring.
I got the KopyKake projector on line from the States -haven’t seen it in Canada online.

Cakes work as well; you just put whatever object you want to pipe onto, under the projector. Sides of the cakes though… hmmmm… I don’t think the head swivels that far, but that would be a great idea! I suppose you could lay the whole projector on it’s side and then project the image onto the side of the cake.
I promise I’ll do a tutorial on the projector!

As for cookies, I use the projector to help me draw the image, but it depending on the cookie I outline or not. For example, the princess cookies I have I outlined, let that dry and flooded later.

For the owl cookies I filled them in right away.

Hope that helps!

These cookies are unbelievable!!! so perfectly designed and decorated. I just have a quick question…hoe do you get the icing so black? the few times that I tried to make fondant or royal icing that black I spend almost the whole container
Other thing…can you Please share with us how you use the KopyKake projector? Do they sell it in Canada? does it work for cakes? do you outline and flood the cookie first and then go back do you continue with the details? does it work to decorate the sides of a cake? Thanks Mariam for answering all these questions!

Thanks Shelly! I’m not sure how long each takes me… I’m going to have to start tallying that.

These are truly amazing! How long does each cookie take you???? I can’t even imagine!

You’re work is incredible!

I just found your blog through Ultimate Gingerbread, and I’m so happy I did! You’re cookies are **beautiful**!!

I absolutley adore everything you make. I hope to one day make something as beautiful.
