Valentine Vintage Ruffle Heart Cookies

I'm a bit of an old fashioned vintage loving girl at heart sometimes.

An old fashioned, pink, heart, vintage, cookie loving girl, so I guess is no surprise that I loved these cookies.

 

These cookies are made by cutting out white fondant and then using a thin round 'frilling' tool or toothpick rubbing gently back and forth to carefully stretch the fondant making the ruffles.

I used the same cutter for the fondant as the cookie but if you have one just a little bit smaller that would be even better as all that rolling really does stretch out the fondant.

 

I carefully placed the fondant onto the cookie and using the end of one of my food decorating paintbrushes I lifted the fondant until I got the folds where I wanted them, then I lifted up the ends of the heart one end at a time and brushed on some water and gently secured/rubbed the fondant onto the cookie .

Then I cut a smaller heart in pink and made small holes using the end of a #1 Wilton piping tip. Once again I popped it onto the white heart with a tiny amount of water.


This is what it looked like at that stage.....it's sweet and I liked it but for me I needed to add a little extra heart, so that's what I did, a little extra red heart in the corner.

 Awe, so sweet I could gobble it all up........and I did.
