How to Make Eyelet Lace Doily Cookies (aka Part 1 of My 3-D Wedding Bouquets)

Though lovely as is, these cookies are even more striking as "platters" for my 3-D sandwiched wedding cake cookies, or as part of my 3-D cookie wedding bouquets! (See those project videos below.) But given their relatively ornate nature, these doilies are deserving of this video of their own! They're also a pretty way to practice outlining, flooding, and beadwork techniques, as well as quick-drying with a dehydrator.

I do not understand why 32 people dislike this video. There is actually no any reasonable reason to rate as bad a so clear and quick tutorial, a wonderful work, made easy to replicate thank to Julia's explanations and tricks... Julia, your works are simply amazing, delicate and elegant.

[@29dj17]

with the confidence you have and teach with there is a 1000 percent guarantee no failing in life... love your work. this hard working skill is hard to find these days...

[@brookehaileyh]

I just watched the entire video. I have no actual desire to make the cookies, I just find these types of videos relaxing.

[@Jaja93939]

You have the most amazing channel. Your videos are so educational and therapeutic. If ever I feel tense or uneasy, I watch a few of your videos and I become very relaxed and calm. You're very inspiring and I will always be aspired to work like you. Thank you so much for your incredible tutorials.

[@carolthomson8331]

Love watching videos like this. Just like quilting, I don't have the patience for time consuming artistic endeavors, but it's fun to watch other people create masterpieces.

[@arlenemurphy804]

You are truly amazing. I am mesmerized. Thank you for taking you time to show us.

[@stephanieramirez377]

I love how you are so detailed and explain everything in your work 😊

[@ninac8867]

I enjoy how real you are I feel like decorating is 10% direct skill & precision and the other 90% is fixing the unpredictable as icing and food is simply finicky

[@samdazzleco.9128]

Julia, I always wanted to make this beautiful goodies. Life got in the way, but now because of you I am going to start my dream. I am a mother of 3 amazing little ones and dedicate my time to them.

[@JuliaMUsher]

Thank you!

[@annd.h.1336]

Julia you should be in the sugar art hall of fame!!! you really should! Those r absolutely beautiful they don't even look like cookies they look so real! I have such problems with ryal icing. I practice and practice but cant seem to get it right. And when I do have the right consistency finally I just don't have the control. I cover my cookies with fondant (im a beginner) royal icing and I don't like each other very much . Lol. you make it look easy

[@marcelinahernandez4180]

Hermosas las decoraciones grasias por sus videos

[@yarielaa.ferrerapineda8381]

amo su canal que bellezas las que hace, me gustaria lo tradujeran al español

[@Sikiru]

Julia - these all look too good to eat.. I've watched many of your videos, and I think I'm going to try some of them this summer! I'm so excited :)

[@Sikiru]

Hi Julia, I made my first chocolate lace for a cake a week ago, but my results turned out pretty shabby.. The design I had originally piped looked pretty, but they eventually got flatter and flatter until it all morphed together and on the cake became very wide. Could you give me some extra tips on how to stay neat? Thank you!

[@Sikiru]

***** Temper or no temper does not matter for lacing, yes? Is there a way to cut the cake without breaking the surrounding lace? Here are pictures of the cake and the lace. imgur.com/L73VNMO imgur.com/pDTlwvp

[@wandao.9651]

Hi Julia! I am another BIG fan. Your creations are unique and jaw dropping. Unlike anything I've seen out there. I really enjoy watching you. Your lessons are clear, detailed and to the point without being to wordy and your pace is great. I also like that as you are doing the work we can can see all the details clearly. LOVE your kitchen too, beautiful! I do have one question though. I don't own a dehydrator so is there something else you would advise to do to get the top layer of icing to set to avoid sinking?

[@shannonenglish8451]

You are so talented you have a gift and I will live sweetly Noel's I've seen that 👍

[@SweetBitesFactoryRD]

Wow, is amazing 😍😍, thank you

[@hanrongchen9381]

Amazing!

[@marlonsoeiro4856]

wow! that's such an amazing work, so delicate and so time consuming as well... i wonder how much each of this cost, I am sure i would save for decoration, such a pity to eat this! so beautiful!

[@LisaMTBC]

I love your designs! How would you work out the price of them if you decided to (or already) sell them?

[@bimbld]

good video;.. thank you for sharing this wonderful edible artwork with us :)

[@x.amanda.x5711]

Literally BREATHTAKING!!!! Absolutely incredible! If I EVER get married I'm going to HAVE to have some of these bouquet eyelet lace cookies of yours!! Haha! No really though, your work is stunning!!! I love watching you work!

[@x.amanda.x5711]

Haha my first name is Amanda and my middle is Megan. I usually go by Amanda! And I appreciate you sharing free content on your channel with all of us, considering you have full lessons available for purchase. It is very kind of you to share free content! You're a great person, I can tell! I love watching you create these masterpieces!

[@x.amanda.x5711]

I love that KZbin does the business aspect to their videos/channels and whatnot for the popular channels! But you deserve much more! Thanks for sharing!

[@bebesrebornbycarladomingue3623]

[@rayvettabryant7028]

Thank you, that was helpful

[@irisamyra135]

My God , you are so talented !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@monadnz89]

Hi. Your videos are wonderful. I am studying to be a pastry chef and we do icing and confectionery as part of the course. Just thought I would let you know that my icing teacher says sinking occurs when your icing is too loose. the perfect consistency should be at 6 seconds ( if you scrape a line through the bowl of icing it takes 6 seconds for it to close the line). You seem very experience and it is so wonderful that you share your skills this way just thought I shared back with you..hope you don't mind :)

[@afuanjunaida2511]

Hi Julia. Thank you for sharing this video. Would you mind sharing the consistencies of your icing for flooding, for making the lines and for the dots. Thank you again Julia

[@fabianabarcelos5768]

lindo o seu trabalho, gostaria muito de ter opção de tradução para que eu pudesse compreender melhor. parabéns pelo talento.

Hola Julia M Usher, te agradezco por tu respuesta, que DIOS te bendiga!

[@goodmorning713]

Dark purple beadwork would look so good on these.

[@ladyjaneofdunans]

Julia, once again, you have outdone yourself. These are masterpieces. I just thought of something...have you ever considered taking this cookie, the Rose Lattice cookie and the May Day Baskets and making ornaments out of them for a pastel/Victorian inspired Christmas tree? I swear it would be totally out-of-this-world stunning!

[@ladyjaneofdunans]

***** Indeed. I think you would need to be cloned in order to do that. LOL

[@sugarq.5979]

I'm dieing to learn how you make your cookies regular round ones I want resipe please where can I find you cookir recepe

[@jackieosullivan8461]

Hi julia. Could I freeze a cookie after it has been fully decorated with Royal icing and fondant flowers? Your cookies and piping are gorgerous. Love watching your tutorials here in the West of Ireland.x

[@lauravillafani-creativeart1249]

These are just WOW cookies!! Beautiful works of art. How much would this cookie cost? 45 min per cookie... ???

[@wandamolteno3136]

Hi Julia, Thank you, I must have missed it somehow!

Aww, thanks so much!

[@indunee1979]

Hi Julia, Thanks for the video. How long can we keep the icing in covered bowls and the dried decorations?

[@indunee1979]

***** Thanks Julia. I am also good at doing these kinds of creations. But, by looking at your work, I can say your a marvel...

[@amiraelkhoury185]

God bless you

[@wtx23j]

Hello Julia, if I don't have a dehydrator, can I use the oven to dry up the icing fast?

[@sunshinelorane]

👍👍👍SUPER Thank you very much 🌺🌺🌺

[@rayvettabryant7028]

Could you use a convection oven for drying the icing?

[@ShadowPeople1]

So having made these with royal icing they would not be very good to eat? Could you use a thinned out crusty buttercream recipe for this?

[@teresavapor3278]

I would like to know where to buy the smaller size of icing bag like you use in this demonstration. Thank you kindly.

[@teresavapor3278]

Thank you so much! I love your work and admire your talent.
