Hi and a huge welcome to Steve's Kitchen. It's subscriber Sunday and we're going to have fun
today getting cartoons
on top of cookies this one came in from Trina Riffin for those of you that don't
know, Trina is a character from Grojband this is a fantastic cartoon go check
it out
and we're also going to have a bit of fun with willy nilly silly old Winnie the Pooh as
well for those of you don't know Grojband
Now occasionally you'll get asked to do an unusual character or something a little
more complicated on top of a cookie
I'm going to show you how I take that conceptual idea and get it on top a
cookie
Come on let me show you how
Now in Grojband I want to take that character Trina Riffin and her great
love Nick Mallroy
and I want to confuse them together on a cookie
I'm going to basically take the heads the two profiles of each of them
now first of all if you can find a line drawing on the internet for the cookie
that is fantastic just download it
scale it to the size you want and you can print that off but I'm just going to
show you quickly what I did
I've taken the two profiles of this character and put their profiles back
to back and drawn them very roughly
Now then you have to create a simple line drawing you want to keep it as
simple as possible
when you completed that you've got something you're happy with it we want to print that
out to scale
on a piece of paper now because these designs are a little more
intricate we can just scratch them onto a cookie with a
scribe tool, like you could with snowman for instance
what we need to do is get this design onto some grease paper some baking paper
and then when we have completed it we can lift that off and pop it on to our cookie
I have a recipe for Royal icing and the cookies and I'll leave the links for those at the
end my video so if you haven't got a clue how to make them
just get across and have a look at those Now once you've made your royal icing we
want a ten-second royal icing
what that means is when I drag a knife through the icing it will settle back
down flat within 10 seconds
Now firstly I want black royal icing for the outlining and I popped it into an icing bag
with a double zero tip
because I'm doing fine details I want a very fine tip for the outlines
anything bigger than this and it will be just too broad. Now I've got my design under
the paper
what we want to do is trace round the outside of this with
our royal icing hold the nib a little bit above the paper and let it drop down
onto the outline as you trace it'll give you a nice
smooth edge we want to keep a continuous line as often as possible but when you come
to sharp edge like on the nose here
we just want to drop the icing nib down onto the paper
break and start again. Now no matter how you did your original design
as you start to ice you often find that you might need to modified
maybe there's too much detail in the drawing just go with it don't worry
you can change the design very slightly for instance here on the side of Nicks head
I put four strokes of hair coming down and I think I can only fit in three it's not
a problem
Now I've finished outlining my catoons there and we want to let these dry
for at least 24 hours because the black colour on the outline will seep
into our fill or our flood filled cookies so we want to leave these on the paper now
let them completely set
OK I've mixed up
the colors now that I need for my cartoon cookies and I'm using pretty much
the same consistency of royal icing
I've got here just an icing bag which I've nipped the end off of
and I'm using that now to flood the center of the design
and then I'm using the scribe tool just to flatten down and push the icing into the
corners
Once you've completed one color we can just move on to the next
here I'm just doing the purple on Trina's headband and I'll do
all the purples on all the outlines that I've done and here I'm just doing the
yellow, the flood fill center for Winnie the Pooh's face
Once you've completed filling all your colors we just want to let those settle
again for at least
8 hours before we try to take them off and put them onto our cookies
Now my cartoon characters have set overnight don't they look great
Now that is the hard bit done what we need to do
they are fairly firm but we just want to peel Trina and Nick
off of the the wax paper and just be a little bit gentle I wouldn't do it up in
the air like that
So there we have a Trina and Nick ready to go on to my cookies, the cookies I've
baked before my channel I'll leave the link at the end of the video
I've got a three and a half inch cookie we want to get these guys
onto the cookie and make them look as if they were pipe straight on there
let me show you how. Now firstly we want to bed these onto the cookie so I'm
going to take a little bit of my royal icing
and I'm just going to smear it on to the centre of the cookie
not to thick but i just want to get it nice and smooth and that'll take up
any unevenness in the cookie we can then take Trina and Nick
pop them down as much in the center as we can
and gently push now we're don't want to snap it at this point
and that'll do just like that now we want to ice around the outside of the
cookie
OK I am just taking a number four nozzle with some white icing and I'm
piping a barrier around the outside of the cookie and if you just hold the nozzle a
little bit above the Cookie and let it drop you get a nice
straight line and then using the same flooding technique I'm starting up
against the
edge of the black line of the cartoon and flooding backwards and forwards
until I've roughly filled in all the blank areas
and then when you finish flooding the cookie we'll just lift it up and give it a
little shake backwards and forwards to flatten the icing
and then just taking a toothpick or scribe tool we can just uneven some
of the little
holes or bubbles that are on the surface of the cookie one last little gentle shake
just to flatten the surface
Well I'm pretty happy with the way that's come out so I'm just going to set that
on the side now until it's completely dried
and then when I've finished with my Grojband characters I'm just going to get on and
do the Winnie the Pooh character as well
I'll build a little barrier up on the outside and flood fill in exactly the same way as
I did the other characters
and there you have Winnie the Pooh too so there you have it
Trina Riffin and Nick Mallroy fused together forever or at least
on my cookies I don't think it'll ever happen on the program please share the
love
let me just pop that one down there
please share the love,give this one the thumbs up I hope you've enjoyed the video
I'm going to let these set. Now Follow me on Google+
a pop some pictures some more photographs of these and I'd love to
hear your comments
be good I'll see you in the next video
and I shouldn't forget my willy nilly silly old bear Winnie the Pooh I hope you like this one it's not about
Winnie the Pooh today but I just thought I'd share
another cookie Look I'll leave some links here to some other recipes
I really love to hear your comments down below stay in touch
see you next time
