Victorian Cameo Cookies Using Silicone Molds

It’s almost time for Easter and I wanted to share a set of Victorian Egg Cookies I designed using silicone molds from the shop. Here are the molds you will need to get started…..

Step 1
Bake off shortbread or sugar cookies until lightly golden. Make a small batch of simple syrup while cookies are baking.

Step 2
Color your fondant. Roll it out into sheets 1/8″ thin. Cut out egg shapes using your egg cookie cutter.

Step 3
Brush cooled cookies with your cooled off simple syrup. Place fondant egg shapes on top of moistened cookies.

Step 4
Dust molds with cornstarch. Place enough fondant inside the mold cavities to fill all of the nooks + crannies. Push the fondant shapes out onto a parchment lined cookie sheet to dry.

Step 5
Paint your frames with a mixture of gold luster dust and vodka (or lemon extract). Paint cameo details with dry luster dust colors to get a softer look.

Step 6
Adhere your finished frames and cameos onto your cookies using simple syrup or royal icing. Pipe a royal icing bead border along the edge of your cookies.

Voila! You have stunning Victorian Egg Cameo Cookies.

You will turn heads if you show up to a party with these little works of edible art! Not only are these cookies a great gift to bring to Easter dinner on Sunday, they would also make incredible wedding favors. I have made a lot of these cookies through my company, BB Sweets, for wedding and bridal shower favors.

You can be creative and change the look of your cookies by using a variety of cameo molds we feature in the shop. For instance, you could make nautical themed cameo cookies using this cameo and keep the color scheme white, navy and gold. You could also make Christmas cameo cookies using any of the holiday cameos we have listed in the shop. The ideas are limitless!

If you’re not into baking, another great idea to utilize the same cameo molds , would be to use with PMC or resin. You can make stunning, one of a kind cameo jewelry to wear on a necklace or wear as a brooch to freshen up a simple cardigan sweater.

Be creative, and most importantly, have fun!
