    Whoa, so you printed out the chocolate badges with a 3D printer? Or did you make some sort of special mold? Those are super cool!

    Also, I like your rainbow cake. Rainbow cakes always make me think of good times in early summer, when everything is blooming and warm :)

      I printed the mold with a 3D printer and pressed them upside down into the dough (the pictures you use have to be mirrored then). You can create these molds very easily in cura (the 3D-print-prepping software).

      The dough should have very little, best no baking soda, so the pictures don’t get blurry. Before pressing the mold into the dough it should be covered with plenty of flour. This helps with separating because the 3D surfaces are usually pretty rough. First dip into flour, tap of the access and then dip into the rolled out dough.

      For the topping i used standard cookie topping colour. But made it thinner by adding water. This makes it flow better into the gaps. I let the access topping drip off and scrape it away from the high regions of the cookie. This gives better contrast and because the way the molds are created it makes the picture look more 3D.

        You are innovating in cookie design. That is super cool, thank you for the advice! :)
