Icing Stencil Hack

1. Step 7 complete

   Next, we are going to spell out Happy Hanukkah on the Star of David marzipan candies. We are going to achieve this using fun stencil hacks! Take the 8 blue Star of David candies and spell out each letter of Hanukkah on each star. To make sure your letters look perfect, you can use the teeth of a fork to imprint the letter on each candy. Then use the white royal icing trace over the indents. Set each candy aside to dry.

2. Step 8 complete

   We are going to write “Happy” on the large Star of David. Place a piece of parchment paper over a happy birthday card or gift tag. Press down onto the parchment, so the word “Happy” is visible. Then take the blue royal icing and trace the word Happy. Then set it to the side to dry.

3. Step 9 complete

   Carefully pick up the dried royal icing and set it on top of the white Star of David. Be sure to push it down slightly so it sticks to the candy.

4. Step 10 complete

   Arrange these festive Hanukkah candies on a plate for your friends and family to enjoy!
