What to write on a plaque
Lettering Techniques - Thank-You Plaque Decorated Sugar Cookies on Kookievision
welcome to another episode of cookie
vision in this video I'm going to be
making some thank-you plaques so I've
got a plaque shape here and I'm
outlining the outside with this lavender
color and this is actually purple with a
little bit of brown to kind of tone it
down a little bit so it's actually quite
close to like a mole of color so I'm
outlining the outside and I've got a
piping consistency here with a number
two tip and I'm going around the outside
and I'm going to fill in the space that
I just piped with a flooding consistency
of the same color in a squeeze bottle
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
and I'll just use my scribe tool to even
everything out and get rid of any air
bubbles
[Music]
now I'm going to let this dry overnight
you'll need to let it sit for about six
to eight hours to dry but I like to do
my flooding one day and then my details
are next so I've got a chocolate brown
dye that I've mixed with a touch of
vodka and I've got it on a brush and I'm
just flicking it at the cookies
this part is totally optional but I like
to add it just to give it a bit of a
vintage look and I want this splatter to
dry for at least five minutes or so
until it's completely dried and next
I've got an image projected onto my
cookie I don't have a coffee cake or
anything like that I do just have a
cheapy projector we'll have to do a
video on that at some point it's a small
project for under $100 so that's always
good if you're on a budget because I
know that the copy' cakes are kind of
unattainable if they're if you're AB on
a budget so I've got a piping
consistency gold color here and this is
a number one tip and I'm just following
the lines and I'm using more pressure
and moving a bit more slower for the
thicker parts of the blood of the
lettering and then using less pressure
and moving more fast for the thinner
parts and there's definitely a lot of
ways you could do this you could use a
stencil or you could even do it freehand
you could also use your scribe tool to
kind of scratch into the cookie
beforehand and kind of give you a guide
and yeah there's a lot of ways to do it
and I just wanted to do it with my
projector since I do have one just
wanted to make some use out of it and
obviously you could use any font that
you want I kind of used a combination of
cursive with capital letters and you'll
want to let this dry for at least an
hour before you paint over it
but in the meantime I'm going to do a
little bit of a fern leaf I'm just
giving myself a quick guide here just
kind of scraped it along the cookie just
to give myself a guide a nice curved
line and I'm using a piping consistency
green here with a number two
it basically piping little tear drops
along this curved line and pulling
inwards and creating this fern leaf
shape next I've got some stiff
consistency like paint girl icing here
and this is fitted with a star tip and I
want to make sure it's nice and stiff so
that it holds that nice shape and that
texture and I've also got a sugar pearl
to finish it off and I've also got
something interesting here this is
called a dust pump and you basically put
some might like luster dust or anything
like that in there I actually used a
sparkle dust by Roxie and rich which is
a Canadian brand and I've got some stiff
consistency white royal icing there as
well and just kind of finished it off
with a few tiny little white flowers and
that was a star tip as well next I've
got some gold luster dust that I've
mixed with a touch of vodka and I've got
a liner brush here and I'm just going
over top of these letters I don't have a
preference actually in gold luster dust
I've used quite a few and I like them
all I think I did use a combination of a
darker gold by rainbow dust and this is
was this was a liquid form of metallic
paint or metallic food paint and I mixed
it with a bit of super gold roll cam
powder and I think that one is actually
made in Africa and I don't know if it's
regulated by the FDA but it is accepted
for use mean obviously in Africa and the
UK Canada and since I'm from Canada I
can use it here but yeah definitely make
sure you look on your labels when it
comes to luster dust and see what's
regulated in your country because there
are different regulations when it comes
to gold luster dust sand luster dust sin
general a lot of them aren't edible but
I always make sure that my edible are my
luster dust all my cookies are always
100% edible because these cookies are
made for eating
and I definitely don't want to put
something on a cookie that somebody
can't eat so that's really important to
me and this step does take quite a bit
of time you could always just leave it
the gold color that is but I really do
like this added extra Sparkle and I also
got a piping consistency white royal
icing here fitted with a number one tip
and I'm just basically to tie it all
together I'm just going around the edge
of border and creating a border just to
kind of pull it all together and make it
look as nice as possible
[Music]
so these are the finished thank you
plaques obviously you can make them say
whatever you like and make them at any
color that you like so thanks for
