How to Decorate Your Layered Gnome Cookies

Each stencil sheet contains three overlay sections that work together to create one gnome design. Pair each sheet with its matching gnome cookie cutter, and reposition the sheet to apply each section individually.

Option 1: Airbrushing — Our Recommended Method

1. Bake, flood, and dry. Cut and bake your gnome cookies, then flood with white royal icing. Allow the icing to dry completely—preferably overnight—before stenciling.

2. Apply the hat and body. Position the matching hat-and-body section over your cookie. Secure the stencil close to the icing without pressing into it. Mask unused openings and airbrush in light passes with food-safe airbrush color. Mask individual areas if you want different colors for the hat, clothing, or mittens.

3. Add the beard and details. Let the first color dry before repositioning the sheet. Align the beard/detail section with the hat and body already on the cookie. Airbrush the beard and, where included, the hat pattern. Mask between areas when changing colors. For a white beard over colored clothing, use an opaque white airbrush color intended for edible use.

4. Finish with the nose. Once the previous layer is dry, position the small round opening beneath the hat brim and lightly airbrush the nose.

Option 2: Airbrushing + Royal Icing Accents

For a little dimension, airbrush the hat, clothing, and any hat pattern first. Let the color dry thoroughly, then use the beard opening to apply a thin layer of thick, stencil-consistency white royal icing. Mask other openings and gently scrape away the excess. Lift the stencil straight up while the icing is still wet.

Finish with a small piped pink nose. If using the nose opening as a stencil instead, allow the beard to dry completely first and make sure the sheet can sit flat without pressing on it.

Helpful Tips

• Apply one overlay at a time; remove the stencil between applications.
• Let each airbrushed layer dry before aligning the next.
• Keep the stencil’s underside clean and dry to prevent color transfer.
• Complete all airbrushing before adding raised icing details.
• Allow finished cookies to dry completely before packaging.
