I’ve talked briefly about flood icing before so i thought i’d show you a step-by-step photo-guide of my latest cookie.
The dragon tattoo cookie slab. These are big cookies, around 30cm!
Step 1
Bake yourself a thin cookie slab and leave it to cool completely
Step 2
Use an edible ink pen to sketch out your chosen design. Mine is based on a japanese dragon tattoo.
Step 3
use a 2 tip nozzle and a piping bag to pipe over your sketch with ‘toothpaste’ consistency royal icing and allow to dry for 24 hours.
Step 4
Colour up thinned royal icing and ‘flood’ inside the piped outline using your 2 or 3 tip nozzle and a piping bag. Flood to within a few millimeters of your outline and then use a toothpick to coax the icing to meet the outline. That avoids the risk of the flood icing escaping over your outline. Leave to dry completely.
Step 5
Once all the sections have been flooded and dried you can return to add any final piping details or hand-painted elements.
And there you have it, your very own hand baked, hand drawn and hand piped cookie slab!
Wow! This is amazing!!! These intricate designs you draw and flood are awesome! Your are so talented! Can I ask you which brand of food pen you used? And how can I subscribe to your blog (can’t find it…)?
Hi Yasmina,
Thanks for the wonderful message. xx
I’m not sure what bland of edible pen i use, i’ll check it out later and email you. I just typed ‘edible icing pen’ into ebay and up it came. There is a subscribe button at the top of the blog, however I’m really not so good at this wordpress/blogging thing so it may not be what you are after. I have tried adding other buttons but never quite seem to code them right! I have a facebook page.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Made-With-Love-by-Me/140716219379099. You can friend me there and follow what i’m up to if you like. <3
