The month of May heralds the start of commencement season, graduation from high school and college/university. Can you hear the notes of Pomp and Circumstance in your head? My friend Bibsy commissioned these Cal Sugar Cookies for a dual celebration in her family: her youngest child's recent acceptance into Berkeley, as well as her oldest's graduation from the esteemed university. Talk about a smart family!
The cookies aren't too hard to make, as long as you have a good stencil. I got this "Cal" one from U-Stencil. They have a wide range of college and universities to choose from. I started with my tried and true vanilla sugar cookie and applied a base coat of royal icing until it was completely dry. With the aid of the stencil I applied a thin layer of colored royal icing in the shape of the school's logo. The consistency of the royal icing for the logo is key; it needs to be thick, like toothpaste.
Be forewarned, though, that stenciling can be a messy affair, especially when working with a darker icing color as I was. After I finished stenciling one cookie I had to thoroughly wipe and dry the stencil before moving on to the next. But I think the end result makes it worth it.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2023!
How to make stenciled sugar cookies
Basic Vanilla Sugar Cookie
Royal Icing (thick and thin consistency)
food safe stencil (I used this one from U-Stencil)
- Cut the cookie dough in to your desired shape and bake according to the recipe.
- When the baked cookies have cooled completely, coat the entire surface with a thinner consistency of royal icing. Let the cookies dry for at least 24 hours.
- Lay the stencil on top of the cookie and apply a thin layer of the thicker royal icing (should be like toothpaste) over it using an icing spatula. Let this dry at least 24 hours.

Life has taught me that you can’t control someone’s loyalty. No matter how good you are to them it doesn’t mean that they will treat you the same way. I have been married to my wife for years with no idea she was cheating. Suddenly i started noticing changes in her behavior, i suspected something was wrong. So i confided in a friend who convinced and introduced me to Walt a hacker. He was able to hack into my wife mobile phone, Text messages, Call logs, IG, browser history, deleted messages, Emails and WhatsApp . It seemed as though my life was spinning out of control getting to find out she has someone else. I filed for a divorce just could not continue with lies. If you feel you are been exploited in your marriage and you need proof. I suggest you contact Whatsapp no +14106350697 brillianthackers800@gmail.com Mail him for your spy and hacking job and be free, just like me today.

ReplyDeleteI recently had a harrowing experience with a Bitcoin investment scam that could have cost me a fortune, promising substantial returns on a Bitcoin investment opportunity. Like many others, I was drawn to the potential profits, and against my better judgment, I decided to invest a significant amount of my savings. Soon after transferring my funds, I realized that something was terribly wrong. The company I invested in began exhibiting suspicious behavior, and my attempts to withdraw my earnings were met with delays and excuses. Panic set in, and I realized I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam. Desperate and on the verge of losing everything, I reached out to for help. That’s how I came across EASYBINARYSOLUTIONS@GMAIL.COM , the cyber security company that helped me recover my funds. Their reputation as cybersecurity experts had preceded them, and I had heard positive feedback from friends who had utilized their services in the past. After providing all the necessary informations I had on the scam, they immediately began a thorough digital forensics investigation to trace the path of my lost funds. Their extensive knowledge of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency transactions was evident throughout the process.
