This is a quick 'how to' for fathers day cookies - I always like to make a little something special for the wonderful people in my life, being a little busy at the moment I thought I'd do something super fast for fathers day and this is what I came up with.
With fathers day happening in Australia on Sunday I thought I'd do a quick post to share. Of course these shirt cookies can be given at any time and with a little imagination can be personalised to suit any occasion.
1. You need a rectangle cookie, (home made or bought) and fondant/RTR in colour of your choice. Roll out the fondant/RTR (emboss this now if you like).
2. Spread a thin layer of corn syrup or butter cream onto your cookie and place fondant/RTR over cookie, gentle secure icing to cookie ensuring that the sides are nicely covered.
3.Trim the excess fondant/RTR.
4. Roll out fondant/RTR and cut a small square for the pocket and a long strip for the collar - as shown in picture.
5. Roll out a different colour fondant/RTR for the tie, cut tie and make a small triangle shape - as shown in picture.
6. Put it all together - using a damp paint brush, moisten tie and stick it in place, moisten the short length of the collar and shape being sure to join the points together just on top of the tie and stick onto shirt, moisten the pocket and stick in place, using a quilting tool you can add the stitching detail on the pocket.
