Why You Need Royal Icing Transfer Templates for Your Christmas Cookie Game This Year

Where can I find cute Christmas Royal Icing Transfer Templates?

Let’s face it, the holiday season is a busy time for any baker, especially if you're a cookie-decorating queen! Between family gatherings, work parties, and everything in between, finding the time to create stunning, professional-looking cookies can feel like a challenge. Enter royal icing transfers — the secret weapon you didn’t know you needed.

What Are Royal Icing Transfers?

In case you’re new to the party, royal icing transfers are pre-made icing decorations that can be added to your cookies after baking. Whether you're creating delicate snowflakes or those ever-popular Christmas trees, royal icing transfer templates allow you to decorate cookies like a pro in a fraction of the time.

Plus, with my monthly subscription service, you can get exclusive access to seasonal royal icing transfer templates, including special Christmas royal icing transfer templates that will elevate your holiday cookie designs.

The transfers in the video below are part of our Christmas Design Collection. They are a trendy Nordic-style Christmas Snowmen, Penguins and Pups. I think they turned out adorable, especially layered on top of this woven textured rolled buttercream. (The Rolled Buttercream Recipe and Book is one of the FREE files for our members).

Why You Should Be Using Royal Icing Transfers

1. Time-Saving

One of the biggest challenges during the Christmas season is finding the time to hand-decorate dozens of cookies. That’s where royal icing transfers come in. You can make your transfers ahead of time, store them, and simply apply them to your freshly baked cookies whenever you need.

2. Consistency Like a Pro

If you’ve ever struggled with getting your decorations just right, royal icing transfers are a game changer. You create the design once, let it dry, and use it as needed. This means your snowflakes, Christmas trees, or even those cute little gingerbread men are perfect every single time. No more shaky hands or inconsistent piping lines!

The good news is you won't need to scrap anymore cookies! The bad news is you won't get to eat said scrapped cookies! 😉

And guess what? Subscribers get 8-10 downloadable royal icing transfer templates every month. These templates range from beginner to advanced designs, ensuring that no matter your skill level, you’ll have something to work with.

3. Trend-Forward Designs

As part of the subscription, you’ll receive an overview of seasonal trends to keep your cookie designs fresh and on point. Want to know which color combinations are dominating Christmas this year? Or what motifs are making waves in the world of cookies? I’ve got you covered. You’ll have access to Christmas royal icing transfer templates that reflect the latest trends, ensuring your cookies are Instagram-worthy.

How to Make Royal Icing Transfers

Making royal icing transfers is easier than you may think. Here’s a quick guide:

1. Prepare Your Icing: Follow a simple royal icing recipe, ensuring the consistency is thick enough to hold its shape.

2. Use a Template: Print out one of the royal icing templates PDFs (like the ones I include in my monthly subscription!). I like to lay my sheet on a cookie sheet or somewhere that it can stay until it dries completely.

   1. There are a few options for the material you use on top of your paper.

      1. acetate sheets (personally, my favorite)

      2. a sheet protector

      3. a cello bag (like the ones you may package your cookies in)

      4. parchment paper (it tends to wrinkle slightly when drying)

3. Pipe the Designs: Use your icing to carefully pipe over the designs, and let them dry completely—usually at least overnight. Depending on your climate and humidity, it may take a few days.

4. Store: Once dry, your royal icing transfers can be stored in an airtight container until you're ready to use them.

   
   

Easy, right? And when you subscribe to my monthly service, you’ll have access to detailed tutorials and recipes to make the process even smoother.
