Valentine’s heart cookies

February 14, 2011 by Louise 36 Comments

Valentine heart cookies iced with rolled fondant

No Valentine’s Day without something sweet. Therefore I have made some Valentine’s heart cookies and iced them with rolled fondant.

To get the really deep red that I have used on some of the cookies. I have used a mix of Crystal color’s Poinsetta and Americolor’s Super Red. The mix of powder and gel together works really great and is really worth a try if you have not tried it before.

The pink color is my favourite choice from Sugar Flair.

I have used my alphabet cutter/embosser set from JEM, along with the pretty quilting embosser and a small rose (Wild rose set) from Patchwork Cutters and some royal icing.

I wish you all a sweet Valentine’s Day!

Happy Caking!

Louise

    I just use a little brush of light corn syrup to make the fondant stick to the cookie.

    Global Sugar Art Stock PC (scroll down a bit) https://www.globalsugarart.com/cat.php?cid=777&s=15&name=PATCHWORK%20CUTTERS/Patchwork%20Cutters%20Side%20Designs%20and%20Embossers
    You can get it in a mini version too 🙂 I think that when they say dust color it’s the same as luster dust ect.

    These are beautiful! I was wondering, how hard does the fondant get on the cookie as well as how the taste of the fondant is? With icing being wet, the cookie can remain a bit soft and hold in some moisture with the icing. Does fondant get to a crumble-breaking point on a cookie? Also, do you flavor your fondant? I just love the fact that I can easily flavor my icing to fit whatever cookie recipe I use…

      I think that if you use fondant on cookies I like to eat them within a week, after that will the fondant get more hard to bite into. The cookie are still ok to eat. After 3 weeks I don’t like to eat them anymore. It is different with RI cookies here I don’t have a problem eating them after 3 weeks (max 4), as long as they are stored correctly.

      I never use flavor for my fondant.

    You can find the cookie recipe here: they wanted me to write a book within 6 weeks and since I have no experience and because I of course would like it to be all perfect
    I don’t have a recipe for fondant. I just use the store bought. As it never fails.
