Olympic Medal Cookies

Hi, I am Virginie from That Cute Little Cake, a blog about my addiction(s) for beautiful parties, paper crafts and cake decorating !

So you might have heard that a major sporting event is coming to the UK this summer? well there certainly is no escaping the Olympics here !!! It’s everywhere, and especially in school when it has logically become the theme for all the end of term Sports Days !

So whether you’ve been enrolled to bake for Sports Day or you are planning an Olympic themed party, these Medal Cookies are sure to bring big smiles on the faces of the children !

Cookies

Start by preparing your favorite cookie dough

Roll and cut into circles (mine are 3″)

Don’t forget to cut a hole for the ribbon. You can use a straw or a piping tip.

Bake and leave to cool.

Decorations

You will need :

Sugarpaste

Paste colours (blue, black, red, yellow, green)

Gold lustre or gold paint

Liquid Glucose (Light Corn Syrup)

Color some sugar paste pale yellow, roll and cut into circles the same dimensions as your cookies.

Brush some liquid glucose over the cookies and glue the sugar paste circles on. Smooth with a smoother or the palm of your hand.

Use the same tool to cut a hole for the ribbon in the sugarpaste.

Paint the sugar paste gold. If using gold lustre, make paint by mixing some lustre powder with a few drops of vodka. The spirit will evaporate quickly, leaving a nice golden finish on your cookies.
Leave the paint to dry.

Color some sugar paste in all 5 colors of the Olympic rings.

For each color, roll the sugar paste and cut a circle with a small round cutter. Then cut a hole using a smaller round cutter. Push the centre out with the end of a small brush. Leave to dry for a few minutes, this will make the rings easier to pick.

Prepare some sugar glue by dissolving a small piece of sugar paste in a little bit of boiling water (you want a thick consistency).

Pick a ring, brush the back with sugar glue and place on the medal (I placed the bottom rings on first)

Leave to dry overnight.
