Choosing a design

Using a personalised stamp to press into your icing makes it simple – ensuring an immaculate, unique biscuit design.

For beautiful favours, you could customise a stamp with ‘Handmade by the bride and groom’ or ‘Thank you from the new Mr and Mrs Ranby’.

Or perhaps your wedding date and venue name for unique save-the-dates.

Shortbread method

Mix together your butter and sugar.
Sieve in the flour and mix again.
Roll out your mixture to approximately 1cm-1.5cm thick. (Roll onto a floured surface to stop it sticking).
Cut out your shortbread shapes.
Pre-heat your oven to 180℃/ Gas mark 4.
Bake them for 15 minutes, making sure they don’t turn golden.
Let them cool completely before decorating.

Personalisation method:

1) Roll out your ‘ready to roll’ fondant icing to approximately 0.5cm thick.

4) Boil some water and let it cool down. Use this to spread on the back of the icing and stick it to the shortbread. (Alternatively, you can use jam to stick these on!)

5) Add any extra decorations you’d like!
