Inside the Magic: How We Create Personalised Cookies

The process of creating personalised cookies is a blend of baking expertise and artistic flair. Here’s a sneak peek into how we turn simple sugar cookies into delightful works of art.

The Baking Process

Our cookies start with a classic sugar cookie dough:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract.
3. Combine and Chill: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until well mixed. Chill the dough for about an hour.
4. Roll and Cut: Roll out the dough to a 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes.
5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for around 10-12 minutes until the edges start to turn golden. Cool them completely before decorating.

The Decorating Process

This is where the magic happens! Our talented bakers meticulously apply fondant and your chosen design to each cookie.

Fondant Application

1. Prep the Fondant: Knead the fondant and roll it out to a thin layer.
2. Cut and Place: Use cookie cutters to cut out fondant shapes that match the cookies.
3. Adhere to Cookies: Apply a thin layer of edible glue on the cookies and place the fondant shapes on top.

Custom Design

1. Print the Design: Using an edible printer, print your uploaded design onto sheets of edible paper.
2. Transfer the Design: Carefully cut out the printed images and transfer them onto the fondant layer.
3. Add Final Touches: Use food-safe markers or additional fondant pieces to add any final details.

Quality Control

We pride ourselves on quality, so each batch of cookies undergoes thorough inspection to ensure they meet our high standards. This commitment to excellence guarantees that you receive cookies that not only look fantastic but also taste divine.
