How to make perfectly stenciled cookies every single time with the amazing Stencil Genie via Sweetsugarbelle.com

Once upon a time, I bought every single cookie tool known to man. Then, as time went on and I ran out of storage space, I cleared out all the fluff and kept only the things I truly use and love. It’s not often that a gadget that finds a place in my heart, but when the Stencil Genie hit the scene last year, it did just that! So this year, in honor of the Stencil Genie’s first birthday, it’s creator, Ginny Levack and I decided to celebrate with a giveaway. But first, I’d like to tell you a little bit about how the Stencil Genie works.

Many of you already use the Stencil Genie, so, this is a review. But for those of you who have not, here’s a quick little overview. The Stencil Genie is made up of four parts. A two-piece frame, plus two additional “Wonderbars” (sold separately) for airbrushing cookies on a stick.

You may be able to use larger stencils in the Genie, but the best size is a five and a half inch square. I especially like designs from The Cookie Countess, Artfully Designed Creations, and Killer Zebras for my projects.

If you use too much color or icing the excess can seep under the edges of the stencil and ruin the design.
