How to create your cookie pops:
Roll out the chilled dough to approximately 7mm and cut out heart shapes.
Take a paper straw and flatten around 6cm of one end of the straw.
Insert the flattened end of the straw into the bottom of the chilled dough heart.
Bake for around 14 mins at 180˚C in a conventional oven.
Dust the Katy Sue Royal Lace Silicone Mould with cornflour and tap out any excess (alternatively, brush lightly with vegetable fat such as Trex), as this will help release the fondant from the mould.
Press a rolled piece of fondant into the mould either with your fingers or use a rolling pin to transfer the pattern.
Remove from the mould and use a cookie cutter to cut a heart from the fondant.
Stick the fondant to the cookie pop using edible glue.
Use the Katy Sue Roses 4 in 1 Silicone Mould and the Katy Sue Rose Leaves Silicone Mould to make a selection of flowers and leaves.
Again, start by dusting the mould with cornflour or brushing lightly with vegetable fat.
Press the fondant into the mould, remove any excess so the back is flat, then flex the mould to release the rose / leaf.
Arrange them on your cookie pop and attach with some edible glue.
Finish off your cookie pop with a pretty stick-on bow!
