Some have asked how to make keys
like I made in the
Thankfully, I just happened to take
photos for a tutorial on making keys. :)
To make house key cookies you will need:
- Key-shaped Cookies **
- Grey/Silver 10 Second Glaze
- Cake Tester (or other long thin tool)
- Paintbrush
- Silver Luster Dust
- Almond Extract
** Note: I couldn't find a regular shaped key cookie cutter,
so I hand cut these cookies.
My suggestion to you is to Google "house key"
and find a key shape like this one,
print it out, and then follow my instructions
Outline the key cookie with grey glaze.
Be sure to add the key hole outline at the top.
Allow to dry for 20-30 minutes.
Flood key with silver glaze. (sorry no photo)
Allow cookie to dry for about 1 hr.
Press a long thin (clean!) object
into the partially dried glaze to
make some realistic key grooves.
I used my handy dandy cake tester. :)
Allow the cookie to dry overnight.
Brush a combination of silver luster dust
and almond extract onto the keys
to give them a nice silver sheen.
And there you have some silver shiny keys
to use for a house warming, realtor thank you,
or various other custom cookie collections. :)
