I’ve had the absolute honor and pleasure of making cookies for Walser Automotive Group, specifically their new talent division, for several years now. They always give me the best ideas of what they want… they’re clever, and classy, and so much fun to make!
I am really happy with how the keys turned out, especially the gold part with the indent. And, know what? That effect is the easiest thing in the world!
After piping the black parts and letting them dry for a bit, I piped the “metal” part. I did this in white since I paint them gold later. Then I set them aside to dry for about a half hour. That way the outside has dried enough to have formed a solid layer on top, but the icing is still quite flexible inside. I took a small offset spatula (any blade would do) and pressed it gently into the icing creating that dent.
Essentially, it’s manufacturing a situation that would be a disaster if I didn’t want it to happen! And for the record, yes that has happened to me many times— my finger or something else accidentally touching something that haven’t dried yet creating a dent. That means I scrape it all off and start again. Ironically, that’s usually how I use my offset spatula! 😂
