Hmm I had to go and search for a photo of the torch (im not that into the olympics) and it is very beautiful but I can also see what your are talking about regarding problems with the template.

But the way I would make it is to draw the torch in the size you want and then add a few mm all around the torch otherwise it will get to thin and will crack like you said. So you will not have the exact torch that will be the task to make it. You could paint with a fine bruch and red food gel/alcohol the “swirls” there are on it.

For the saving templates you need a scanner. then scan the template and save it like a jpg file. Hopes that makes sense?

Well actually, I had a few different templates I wanted. The first was of the actual torch that they are using in the Olympics this year. Then I was going to do one of the logo and a paper Chinese lantern picture that I have. Also a take-out box which I already pretty much have done. I was also thinking of doing some plain square ones of the Olympic rings and maybe some little Chinese kids (using a cookie cutter). The trouble I am having is with the torch. I can’t seem to get it big enough so it won’t fall apart. I also couldn’t figure out how to actually go about scanning and printing my drawings so I can save the templates for later use.

I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you so much!

Rachel: Great to hear that. I did nothing special on making the templates. I just sad with pen and paper.

Do you mean the Olympic flag or??

Let me know because I would love to help.

Hi Louise! I did finally get the templates, it was just a glitch or something on my computer that day I tried to download. I had a question about your templates. I was wondering how you made them? I am trying to make some Olympic cookies and I can’t seem to make out the drawings very well. How did you do yours?

Thanks again!

Hi Melana,

Sugar cookies do tend to get a bit soft (not much though) when they have been decorated with RI. I am not sure that you can avoid them to get soft.

The only thing I can come up with is to decorate them with rolled fondant instead of RI. The fondant will be hard to bite into after a few days though.

Hi Louise,

I tried some sugar cookies before, but not using your recipe and did icing on them. The prob is my cookies were nice and crisp, until i did the icing, which by then became rather soft. Do you get this problem? I would like my iced cookies crisp, but can’t seem to get there. Do you have a solution? Thanks! Melena

Hi Louise:

I m a fan of your blog, I wrote you by Flickr mail, asking you some questions that you have just answered, thanks ,

I made your cookies (are in my postream) with the template and the are beautiful for me, never as yours, of course!!! the edges came out rough… i now have the trick to smooth it with my finger.

Ill be waiting for the tutorial and the recipe for the icing, because it didnt turned so perfect as yours.
