Printing vintage images and pictures is my favorite way to use the icing printer. I LOVE vintage postcards....the artwork, the verses....they are so sweet! So I scanned some old St. Patrick's Day postcards and printed them on frosting sheets.
Curious to try them? I uploaded the images to Scribd just for you! Download the document and crop and resize until you get them the size that you would like. Then, follow the tips for printing, either at home, or at a shop with an icing printer.
The images were just placed on wet royal icing. I used a #16 star tip and stiff royal icing (piping consistency) for the edges.
Have fun! And may the luck of the Irish be with you....and your icing printer! ;)
Bridget these are GORGEOUS!!

ReplyDeleteHi Bridget! I am SO lovign your blog and all of your helpful tips! After reading a few other blogs, I've decided that I'd love to embark on a cookie decorating adventure!
ReplyDeleteI was watching your sugar cookie recipe and then I watched TidyMom's video on how to roll and cut out, but since I've never done this before, I have a couple of questions...
1. How long to you refrigerate before you cut out your cookies?
2. How long do you bake at 350?
Thanks for inspiring me! You are fabulous!!!
Nicole
I love this more vintage look for St. Patty's Day - these are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHey Nicole! I tried to answer your comment via email, but there is no email address linked to your blogger acct....it just goes to "no reply"). :)
ReplyDeleteGo to the "cookie index" at the top of the blog; you'll find the cookie recipe pinked there with all of the instructions. Happy baking!
Seeing all these cookies you make using the edible images is really wearing on me! I mean I am TOTALLY fighting the urge to run out and get a new printer with edible ink...the possibilities seem endless with one. Thanks for the great ideas and inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteI love those vintage prints! They look so great on a cookie too. The piped framing perfectly sets off the print.
ReplyDeleteLove them and LOVE the SAINT BRIDGET BEER!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I just love them :)
