Nesting Heart Cutters & The Sugar Art Favorites

Cookie Decorating Resources· Decorating Ideas

Today, I released a set of nesting heart cutters you can see HERE.  I’m taking the opportunity to also highlight some of my favorite The Sugar Art products, specifically Wedding Gold (now replaced by Golden Halo) and Nu Silver, my two most commonly used products in addition to White DiamonDust. Be sure to visit their website directly to purchase a huge selection of other colors that I will not be stocking! All of the products mentioned by The Sugar Art are 100% edible (unlike highlighter, see a great post by Corianne HERE)!

 

I designed this following set using each size of our heart cutter set.

Heart designs made with the nesting heart cutters.

The largest black/pink heart is edged (painted directly on the naked cookie base) using Wedding Gold (now replaced by Golden Halo) mixed with Everclear — Be sure to check out my Instagram highlights (tips/tricks) to see the consistency to which I mix my “paste”. The blue rose stenciled cookie right underneath it has the same technique, but using Nu Silver instead!

Wedding Gold (now replaced by Golden Halo) mixed with Everclear painted directly on the cookie.

The following photos show you what Wedding Gold (now replaced by Golden Halo)​ and Nu Silver look like when mixed with Everclear and fed through an airbrush.

Nu Silver airbrushed, Diamond Dust spray on top.

A video definitely captures the beauty and sheen better:

(Make sure you visit my RESOURCE blog post for so much more info on where I purchase my tools & products.)

I hope that gives you a better idea of how versatile these cutters AND products can be, and got some ideas for your future projects.  You can check them all out in my SHOP, and browse a much bigger selection of The Sugar Art product on their website.  Got questions? Comments? Leave them for me below!

Instagram post 2194507238209704341_189377544 I had to make the tough decision yesterday to NOT offer any pre-order pickup options. Between the online supply shop orders, classes/prep, pop up prep, customer service, I’m stretched very thin and had to give something up. So sorry! To get your holiday cookies this season, please do come to our TWO pop ups we have planned -- Sat. Dec 14th @kitchentablesac from 11-1 and Sun. Dec. 22nd at our class space in 12/R with @thesweetestmix for both popups! Exact details for each event is on the website under classes/events. We also have just a few more seats left for purchase for Dec. classes, so please also check those out in the shop! We hope to see you this season, and thank you SO much for your love. These adorable stockings were made as class swag gifts for today, but I will also make them available during the pop up! Questions? Leave them for me below. ***** #borderlandsbakery #sacramento #sugarcookies #decoratedcookies #bakeyourworldhappy #buzzfeedfood #foodgawker #cookiedecorating #royalicing #cookiedecorator #cookieart #christmascookies #stockings #christmastockings #xmascookies #xmas #stockingcookies #cookievideo #cookietutorial #icingvideo #decoratingvideo #pipingvideo #oddlysatsifying
