Instructions
Outline and Flood with Red Royal Icing:
Using flood consistency red royal icing, carefully outline the designated area on the cookie where the buffalo plaid pattern will be created. This will create a barrier to contain the icing.
Quickly fill in the outlined area with the same red royal icing, ensuring a smooth and even layer.
Use a scribe tool to shape and smooth the icing, creating a flawless foundation for the buffalo plaid design.
Allow the icing to dry until it hardens completely. This step is crucial to ensure a clean canvas for the next stage.
Airbrush with Black Coloring:
Once the red icing has dried, it's time to add the buffalo plaid pattern. Secure a buffalo plaid stencil over the cookie, ensuring it aligns with the outlined area.
Use an airbrush to apply black coloring onto the cookie through the stencil. Be sure to cover the entire designated area with the buffalo plaid design.
Carefully remove the stencil to reveal the beautifully airbrushed buffalo plaid pattern on the cookie.
Allow the cookie to dry thoroughly. The airbrushed coloring will add depth and dimension to the plaid pattern.
Final Touches:
After the airbrushed coloring has dried, your Buffalo Plaid Stenciled Sugar Cookies are ready to be enjoyed or gifted.
Consider adding additional details or embellishments if desired, such as a white icing border or festive sprinkles, to enhance the overall appearance.
