I have Spidy to make for the beginning of June. Thanks for doing a video of this. I feel like I can definitely do this after watching your video a few times. I also cut my Spidey out by hand. I think a gingerbread man cutter would have worked here also. Just wanted to Thank You for making my life easier.
I designed them and hand cut them, so I didn't have a cutter. I just used a razor blade and traced them using the cardstock cutout design you see me tracing onto the cookie. :)
@@SweethartBakingExperiment I've been doing this a lot lately myself! I'm amazed at how well they come out.... I dont do the inside stenciling like you but I should! Looks easier than free hand drawing, lol (which is what I do).
First off, your piping skills are AMAZING!! I am not nearly as good, but fortunately my four year old doesn't care, as long as they taste good. Question. Do you ever have issues with color bleeding? Even when I let the different sections dry for a couple of hours, I often get color bleeds a day or two later. Tips? PS One more question. How long do you typically wait before drawing on the icing? I find sometimes that even if I press lightly, the marker penetrates the icing because it's not totally dry underneath.
Thanks so much! If I have to draw on the icing, I always let the flooded layers dry overnight before attempting this. Fine tip markers especially have very hard tips with small surface area and are very prone to going through the icing so too much pressure will cause it to break through even after thorough drying. To avoid colour bleeding, try not to use too much dye in your icing (colours will develop over time), and get the cookies in front of a fan as soon as possible. Some people think meringue powder brands have something to do with it so you may want to play with that as well. If it's happening a lot with your flood colours, use a thicker consistency flood - a really thin flood will definitely bleed. Hope these tips help!
For all the outlining of the flooding layers, yes. For the final details on top of the flooding layers when I did the black outlining on both Batman and Spider-Man, I used a Tip 1. :)
Amazing! Love it!!
Love these!!!
I'm glad! Thanks for the love.

Thanks so much for the kind words - I'm glad to help! I realized afterwards that a gingerbread man shape TOTALLY would have worked just as well!
Wow... I loved it. I need to make this for my son's birthday. Where can i find this template?
No template, unfortunately - I just drew it on a whim! Feel free to take inspiration though, and give it a whirl!
They are adorable. where did you get your batman cookie cutter?

@@SweethartBakingExperiment WHAT?! As if your cookies weren't already amazing enough, you designed your own cookie shape template?? Mindblowing!!

Hello, how many seconds icing do you use
Check out my video called Royal Icing Transfers & The Magic Consistency! I don't use "seconds" but 15-20 sec would be comparable.
Are those cookies large or medium in size? Was just wondering the template size?
These cookies were rather large! Almost 5" tall.
