Wedgwood Inspired Cookies

Wedgwood Jasperware was the inspiration for one of my very first (and still favorite) cookie designs when I started decorating.

The roses and cameos on these cookies are made from fondant while the rest of the details were piped in royal icing.

Here's a little tutorial on using silicone molds with fondant. I make my own molds using Amazing Mold Putty. For a great tutorial on how to make your own molds, visit Pam's blog at Cake Ball Love.
...
The mold I'm using here is a rose. I put a little bit of shortening in the mold before pressing the fondant into it. 
...
These molds are flexible, so once you've pressed the fondant in, you can just pop it right out.
 ...
I made the tiny rose by filling just the center of the mold with fondant. I attached the roses using a small dab of icing on the back.

The brush embroidered leaves were piped with a tip 1. For a tutorial on brush embroidery, visit my video tutorial shop
