How to Make Quatrefoil Print Cookies
Lately, it seems like quatrefoil is popping up everywhere. On pillows, clothing, and even cookies. While quatrefoil may look intimidating, it’s definitely doable. I promise you can master this print.
Using a cookie projector can make quatrefoil print a much more manageable task. Here’s a little template to simplify things. To print, click HERE.
After printing the template, trim to fit your projector, and clamp securely in place.
Use a #1-#1.5 tip to pipe the design. Consistency is very important for this kind of work. Too stiff and the lines will break. Too thin, and you’ll be left with a big blobby mess. Think toothpaste. Soft enough to to squeeze, but definitely not runny.
Quatrefoil looks beautiful mixed with prints like damask. I purchased this damask stencil from Designer Stencils and I love how the two patterns look together. If you need a little help with the whole stenciling thing, click HERE.
If you don’t own a Kopykake, there are several other ways to transfer this pattern to a cookie. For help, check out these helpful links:

Don’t let quatrefoil scare you. You can do it!
That looks so beautiful – but my hand hurts just thinking about piping that pattern on a bunch of cookies!
You did it!!! You finally did it 🙂 they are STUNNING!!!
I love the colors too! So pretty <3
Aaaaamazing!!! So many possibilities using a projector!! I would love to get me one! Which one do you recommend buying for beginners or which one do you have?
Thanks! 😀
This is why I would love to have a projector, I love patterns like these.
Such perfect piping, Callye! You make it look so easy. I agree, those patterns go great together. Colors too!
I like to party, not look arclites up online. You made it happen.
An intelligent answer – no BS – which makes a pleasant change
Always perfect! Love the designs and colors!
Wow these cookies look so beautiful, especially the damask ones.
Awesome!! Love that pattern!!!
Beautiful Callye. The piping, the stenciling and the colour choices.
Simply and amazingly beautiful!!! Love the pattern and the “How To”!!!
You make it look so easy! 🙂 Such a pretty pattern!
I LOVE these! Absolutely gorgeous work (as always) and the colors are absolutely perfect for the patterns. I want to plan a whole party around those cookies!
I’m absolutely in love with this platter of cookies! I’m a huge quatrefoil pattern fan. Since I don’t own a projector, I think I may use your template and create my own “stamp” to transfer the design onto the cookie. It will probably be quite a bit of trial and error (emphasis on the error), but I will give it a try! And thanks for the link to your stencil tutorial. So awesomely helpful as usual!
your piping skills are amazing. really enjoy this.
have a great day.
Beautiful! Love the two colors together!
I love the quatrefoil! It’s so elegant.
Beautiful!!!!
I love how the white looks on the colored background! And I think I’m in love with that stencil and have to get it ASAP!
These cookies look so delightful. I love the damask and quatrefoil patterns.

These might be my favorite that you’ve ever made…e.v.e.r. So I thought I’d try copy catting them. Ha. Very funny. Not that your directions and pictures weren’t adequate or top notch even, but I am just not on your level, at all. How dare you make me think I could even attempt these!! 🙂 In love.
You Sir/Madam are the enemy of confusion evherweeyr!
thank you – – I’ve been trying to find this pattern…. much appreciated!
