Don’t forget Mother’s Day this May! What better way to celebrate Mom than with beautifully decorated cookies?
Here, we take our Mother's Day Cookie Confection Collection 6pc set and pair it with our favorite plaque style cutters then airbrush with pinks and greens to create gorgeous cookies! You can easily use a royal icing application if you prefer!
What You'll Need:
- Sugar cookies (use our Sugar Cookie Recipe ) cut with an array of plaque style cookie cutters. For ours, we used the Moscow and the Madrid plaque style cutters. You'll need the cookies flooded with white royal icing (if you need tips on flood consistency check out our Icing Consistency Tips)
- Grab a set of our Mother’s Day Cookie Collection
- A Quadrant Masking Tool to help mask elements while airbrushing
- Gyro-Cut Craft and Hobby Cutting Tool and Glad PressN'Seal for masking
- AirGenie Airbrush System
- Stencil Genie Cookie Decorating Tool
- DecoPac Airbrush Food Coloring in the colors of your choice
- Plastic Bottle with Dropper Tip 2 oz 3 pk
- Magnet for Cookie Stencils 10 Pc Set to help hold the stencil flush against the cookie to prevent underspray
Let's Get Started!
1. As with any cookie airbrushing project, load your cookie stencil into the Stencil Genie. Line up the stencil design with the center of the cookie. Place cookie magnets around the openings of the stencil to hold it flat to the cookie surface. Check one more time to make sure the stencil design is in place before moving onto airbrushing.
2. Next, load the Amerimist Airbrush Food Coloring into the AirGenie Airbrush System and test the colorant on a clean paper towel, ensuring that you have just the right amount of airflow. If the airflow is too high the food coloring may be harder to control. It is much better to airbrush lightly in multiple coats. Proceed to apply the chosen color by aiming the airbrush straight down at the cookie about 3-4 inches away.
3. For stencils with multiple designs, use the Quadrant Masking Tool to isolate a portion of the stencil. While the cookie magnets help hold the stencil flat to the cookie surface, you may find small areas of the stencil that are not completely flush with the cookie. Here you can use a pair of chopsticks or a skewer to add additional pressure in specific areas.
4. For more intricate stencils, use Glad Press N’Seal to mask off portions of the design. Cut off the appropriate size piece of the seal and use your fingers to flatten out any wrinkles or to remove bubbles.
5. Next, use the Gyro-Cut Craft and Hobby Cutting Tool to trim around the chosen element of the design. Then, gently lift a corner of the cut portion and peel off the Press N’Seal (or the area surrounding the cut portion – if you are airbrushing around a smaller design).
6. Now you can airbrush the area of the stencil where the Glad Press N’Seal has been removed. By repeating this process with different food coloring, you can create more complex designs using multiple colors!
7. Stencil a batch of cookies as sweet as Mom with this Confection Couture Mother’s Day Confection Collection. Break out your Air Genie Airbrush and Amerimist Food Coloring or try using these designs with royal icing. The choice is yours!
