One of Julia's ultimate cheater techniques, rubber-stamping requires little inherent artistic skill, just a food-safe rubber stamp and an understanding of basic inking and imprinting techniques! This video covers the basics of rubber-stamping on cookies, including everything from distinguishing beginner from advanced stamps to the merits of wood- versus acrylic-mounted stamps.
IF YOU LIKE THIS VIDEO, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel. It is only through your support that I can afford to make more videos. THANK YOU!
A NOTE ON RUBBER STAMPS:
Not all stamps and ink pads are food grade. I always recommend using food-grade tools on any products intended for consumption. Currently, the best sources of food-grade stamps and ink pads are:
https://www.sweetstampen.com/index.asp and http://www.wilton.com/. A flat, folded stack of paper towels can also substitute for an uninked ink pad.
