3D Printed Cookies, Sort Of
jformulate has taken cookie baking to the next level by combining 3D printing, silicone molding, and traditional baking techniques to create custom chocolate-topped butter cookies. The project involved a collaborative effort with a makerspace group, and the first step was choosing images for the cookies. Next using Fusion360, a hexagon-shaped mold was designed, and the selected images were incorporated, with some requiring height adjustments for better detailing.
After 3D printing the positive molds, the team proceeded to create food-safe silicone molds to shape the custom chocolate toppers. To minimize air bubbles, jformulate recommends pouring the silicone in a thin stream from a height or tapping the mold on a flat surface. With the molds ready, it was time to bake the cookies. Furthermore jformulate provides detailed instructions for tempering chocolate, essential for achieving a glossy finish. Additionally, a butter cookie recipe that complements the chocolate toppers is shared.
As a delightful bonus, jformulate demonstrates the creation of a fish-shaped hot chocolate bomb and produces Jolly Rancher medallions using the silicone molds and a microwave. Finally this project not only showcases the fusion of technology and baking but also celebrates the intricate and rewarding process of crafting personalized treats with care and creativity.
