To produce dozens of designs, it seemed to me that a designer would need a lot of pre-made sugar cookies, then hope that in the process of replicating the design,\u00a0 she or he would not make a mistake.<\/p>\n
Well! It turns out that the Royal Icing recipe is also a recipe for sugar candy. After it is piped, it turns hard and can be lifted off a surface and pasted onto a cookie using an underlay of Royal Icing or other pasting product.<\/p>\n I have yet to try this, but using pattern material seems like a great way to develop skills! I plan on trying one or two patterns sold on the Country Kitchen Sweetart<\/a> site.<\/p>\n I do not plan on replicating the patterns to paste on cookies, however. I am not a fan of very hard Royal Icing. Still, this technique might be useful with my own corn syrup-based recipe. I won’t know until I try.<\/p>\n I encourage you to visit\u00a0Country Kitchen Sweetart’s website<\/a>\u00a0and rest assured, I have no business arrangement with it. If you just started being a Royal Icing cookie decorator, you’ll find this site’s products quite interesting. The company is in\u00a0Fort Wayne, Indiana.\u00a0 If you live nearby, or like to travel, they host classes on pastry-decorating topics that seem to be worth-while attending.<\/p>\n As my own site is new, I do not yet have a forum or discussion area, so if you use these pattern-makers, or something similar, let me know at\u00a0Info@Littleviews.com<\/a> (as well as sign up for my once-a-month newsletter<\/a>).<\/p>\n Should you want to investigate before I add more information, do a web search on the subject of\u00a0how to use Royal Icing transfer material<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n PS:<\/strong> Since writing this, I started the page,\u00a0Royal Icing Transfer Links<\/a>. There, I posted videos by Julia Usher<\/a>\u00a0that demonstrate the topic, and am starting to gather reference sites, which will be updated periodically.<\/p>\n![\"Littleviews:](\"https:\/\/littleviews-crafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Royal-Icing-Patterns-2.jpg\")
<\/a>I’ve read about various ways designs could be copied and transferred to cookies, but all seem very clumsy. After the third cookie, it seems to me that designer would get sick of using them.<\/p>\n
