Just a quick note to wish all my readers Happy Valentine with these delicious brownies. They are the new hot thing this year so I baked a nice brownie and used a round cookie cutter to cut out small round brownies. Placed them in paper cups and piped a nice chocolate swirl with two pink hearts on top.
Happy Caking
Louise

Andrea: I used the Quilting embooser from Patchwork Cutters. Roll out the fondant, emboss it and cut out the hearts. The hearts are sugarpaste with a little tylo added. They did not get soft from sitting in the frosting. I had one leftover and they next day it still looked fine.
Andrea Kopp says:

One more question…
The sugarpaste (?) hearts can be in contact with the frosting without melting ?
Or you just put them right before serving ?
thanks again

Brownies are always “in” at my house!!! I love the idea of using a cookie cutter to make shapes though, I’m definitely going to do that from now on! Then that means, I get to eat all the scraps! Woo Hoo!!!
