Some cakes and cookies are accompanied by a template.

Print and cut out the cookie templates. For a reusable template, secure the printout to cardboard and cut out using a utility knife or scissors.  Place the template on the cookie dough and run a paring knife around the edge of each.

The chocolate templates can be printed then placed beneath parchment paper or cellophane. Use the images as a guide to create colorful and fun cake decorations. For more information on the “Chocolate Method” check out our Whimsical Bakehouse books or see "Chocolate Portrait" Step by Step to see how a chocolate portrait is created.
