Cookie Frosting Stencil Holder

Three Piece Cookie Frosting Stencil. I printed top and bottom with a brim, but not the scraper. This is actually version three, my first upload. I used the first one successfully. To make stencils, I draft mylar cut to just a little bigger than the top/bottom frame. Then I cut holes for the posts, and when you snap down the top, it keeps the stencil nice and secure. I use standard roll-out sugar cookie dough. I roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick before baking. You can use 1/4 inch dowel rods on either side of your dough to make sure it's not too thick or thin. It works great. I use standard Royal frosting made with Wilton Meringue powder. You want it about toothpaste consistency. Some tips for success: 1. Don't cut holes in your stencil too large. It's better to have a suggestion of a shape and have the stencil work than to have holes that are too large and the stencil not work. 2. Avoid having any long, unsupported pointy sections of mylar - the scraper will catch and lift or bend these. Think about your stencil design before you cut it out. 3. Periodically clean the stencil.
