A sweet, sparkly tutorial for perfectly stenciled cookies!
If you’re looking to add a touch of royal charm to your cookies, our Princess 2-Piece Round Cookie Stencil Set is here to save the day! This set includes two coordinating designs—a crown with “princess” text and a magical wand—making it perfect for birthday parties, baby showers, tea parties, and fairy-tale celebrations.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to use these round stencils with our 3½" Round Stencil Adapter, so they can be easily paired with the Stencil Genie® Stencil Holder for clean, professional results every time.
What You’ll Need
- Princess 2-Piece Round Cookie Stencil Set
- 3½" Round Stencil Adapter
- Stencil Genie® Stencil Holder
- Baked and cooled cookies (3½"–4" round cookies work great)
- Royal icing:
- Flood consistency (light pink or pastel color) - see our tutorial for the best consistencies for cookie decorating.
- Medium-thick stencil consistency (slightly thicker than flood—great for scraping)
- Offset spatula or stencil scraper
- Paper towels
- Optional finishing touches:
-
- Gold edible glitter
- Gold luster dust
- Soft food-safe brush
Step 1: Prep Your Cookies
Start by flooding your cookies with a smooth, light pink royal icing (or any princess-approved pastel!). Allow the icing to dry completely—this is key for crisp stencil results. Overnight drying is ideal, but a few hours with good airflow can work too.
Step 2: Set Up the Stencil Adapter
Insert your chosen round stencil into the 3½" Round Stencil Adapter.
This adapter holds the stencil, and allows it to work seamlessly with the Stencil Genie® Stencil Holder.
Please Note! Since this design is by Designer Stencils, it doesn't have a tab that fits into our original adapter opening, so you simply tape the stencil to the back of the adapter. Easy fix, perfect results!
Step 3: Secure with the Stencil Genie
Place your iced cookie on the base of the Stencil Genie. Position the adapter (with stencil attached) over the cookie and lower the Genie lid to hold everything firmly in place. This keeps the stencil from shifting and gives you clean, repeatable designs—especially helpful when making full sets.
Step 4: Stencil the Design
Apply a small amount of your stencil-consistency icing to the top of the stencil.
Using an offset spatula or scraper, gently spread the icing over the design with light, even pressure.
- One smooth pass is usually enough
- Avoid overworking the icing to keep edges sharp
Carefully lift the stencil straight up to reveal your design—hello, princess perfection!
Step 5: Add a Magical Finish ✨
While the stenciled icing is still slightly wet, sprinkle on gold edible glitter or lightly dust with gold luster dust using a soft brush. This step adds instant sparkle and takes the cookies from cute to royal showstopper.
Fun Design Ideas
- Flood with blush pink, stencil in white, and finish with gold luster dust
- Try lavender or ivory floods with metallic gold stencil icing
- Mix both stencil designs in one cookie set for variety
- Add coordinating sprinkles or pearl dragees around the edge once dry
