What's New for the Sugar Artist?

Diane's "Puffed Embroidery" technique is becoming popular as it becomes known to more and more sugar artists.  Just place the tip of the Foot Tool that Diane sells for $6.00 on the imaginary line and press all along until the line is complete.  Then, put the tip of the Foot Tool on the opposite side of the line that actually has been created and press along that entire line.  This is how the puffed effects are created. The fondant dress, below, was cut from the cookie cutter.  The Foot Tool was used to create the lines, and; thus, the design and style of the dress.  One of the Makins impression mats was used for the upper areas of the dress.  The Foot Tool was also used for the attached ruffles on the hat and on the dress.  


 

What a great way to decorate your cookies for "Cookie Bouquets"!
