Essentials
Before we dive into the decorating, lets gather our essentials:
- Sugar cookies, store-bought or homemade. It's super easy to make at home and they are way more delicious! Give our fail proof, no spread sugar cookie recipe a try!
- Cookie cutters & 3D pop embossers (debosser). I'm using Mosque Door Frame & Eid Greetings Font Embosser.
- Fondant, store-bought or homemade.
- Edible gel food coloring (If you are mixing the fondant color).
- Rolling pin & depth guides
- Cornstarch
- Water
- Paintbrush
- Scraper
Decorating Process
- Prepare two (or more) different coloured fondant of your choice.
- Dust some corn flour on the 3D Pop Embosser and tap out excess.
- Place small amount of fondant onto the details part of the 3D Pop Embosser.
- Use a scraper and scrape small amount of fondant into the grooves at a time. Repeat scraping process untill all excess fondant is removed.
Tip: Use finger to wipe out excess on the sides or maneuver the fondant into the grooves / small areas. - Place second coloured fondant (base fondant) on top of the 3D Pop Embosser and roll over using rolling pin.
I'm using depth guides that fit into my rolling pin to ensure that my fondant thickness is at 5mm.
This will ensure my final fondant thickness for cookie is around 2-3mm. - Remove fondant from the 3D Pop Embosser gently and slowly.
If you've noticed some part of the details are not sticking to the base fondant, try to peel off from another direction and you might be able to save it.
- Use cookie cutter to cut out fondant.
- Stamp on sweet messages like 'Eid Mubarak', 'Selamat Hari Raya' using font embossers.
Tip: Tap the font embossers on some lustre dust to easily achieve coloured words on fondant. - Brush a thin layer of water on the back of the fondant piece and stick it on top of the baked cookie.
While these mosque door frame pattern cookies are elegant on their own, they are also perfect when presented together with other Eid Raya designs! Here are some other designs created with two toned fondant technique.
