Sweet Little Sugar Stamps with a How to Video
Have you seen those sweet little sugar stamps with the cute images on the bottom? If you’ve been online at all I’m sure you’ve seen photos. As soon as I saw them I knew I had to give them a try. Have you ever made something and realized it was a lot easier than you thought it would be? That sums up the experience I had with these guys. You only need three ingredients and some Sugar Stamps and the next thing you know, you’ll have some adorable little meringues.
If you’re looking for an extra treat for birthdays, weddings, St.Patrick’s Day, Christmas, Mother’s Day, baby showers, fun unicorns, and so many more designs that will fit the theme of your event. You can find them at Sugar Stamp or at The Cookie Countess in about any design you want.
- 4 egg whites approximately 125 grams or 4.4 ounces
- 250 grams of sugar 1 1⁄4 cup or 8.8 ounces
- 100 grams of powdered sugar half a cup or 3.5 ounces
- 2 Sugar Stamps
- Pastry bag and your choice of nozzle
- 2 pots - small and medium for the bain-marie
Mix the sugar and the in egg whites in the small pot.
Place the pot with the mixture on bain-marie for 10 minutes, mix once in a while, until the mixture becomes liquid and you can no longer feel sugar grains in it.
Dry the bottom of the small pot and transfer the mixture to the mixer bowl and begin whisking until it becomes very thick (approximately 6-7 minutes).
Stop the mixer, add the powdered sugar and slowly resume mixing for about 2 more minutes until the mixture becomes extremely stable.
Transfer the mixture to the pastry bag, arrange the Sugar Stamp on your oven pan (coarse side up) and begin piping.
Bake for at least 120 minutes at 80°C (176°F).
Always with Fanned oven heat until the sugar kisses are dry inside and out.
Once ready, take out of the oven and immediately separate the sugar kisses.
- Mix the sugar and the in egg whites in the small saucepan or glass bowl.
- Place the pot with the mixture on a bain-marie (or double boiler) for 10 minutes, mix once in a while, until the mixture becomes liquid and you can no longer feel sugar grains in it.
- Dry the bottom of the small pot and transfer the mixture to the mixer bowl and begin whisking until it becomes very thick (approximately 6-7 minutes).
- Stop the mixer, add the powdered sugar, and slowly resume mixing for about 2 more minutes until the mixture becomes extremely stable.
- Transfer the mixture to the pastry bag, arrange the Sugar Stamp on your oven pan (coarse side up) and begin piping.
- You can use any decorating tip you want. These meringues were made with tip #829 and 9FT.
- Bake for at least 120 minutes at 80°C (176°F).
- Always with a Fanned oven (I used my good old fashioned regular oven and it worked great!) heat until the sugar kisses are dry inside and out.
- Once ready, take out of the oven and immediately separate the sugar kisses.
- If you watch the video you will see I didn’t remove some of them fast enough so the image stuck on the stamp paper instead of the bottom of the meringue. So remove them as soon as they come out of the oven.
Seriously, these little Christmas meringues are the cutest things ever! I will definitely buy some of these for my Christmas bags in December. That little snowman is so cute and he’s ready for the snow and so am I. It just hasn’t really felt like winter here this year. I know some of you have had a ton of snow and I wish I could have stopped by for a visit long enough to build a snowman and drink some hot chocolate. Maybe next year.
How cute would these be in a jar for a teacher’s gift or to give to your friends! I’m all for it!
I’m totally in love with that pink elephant! Doesn’t he make you happy! Can’t you just imagine the cookies you could make to go along with these critters! I’m so making that lion into a cookie!
Don’t forget about St. Patrick’s Day! You can have your own four-leaf clover for a little extra good luck.

You don’t have to take my word because you can make your own in any theme you want. Check out The Cookie Countess and Sugar Stamp to find the right design for your party. I know you’re going to be surprised by all the options they have.
To help hold down the cost you don’t have to add a sugar stamp to each meringue. You can make one or two batches without the Sugar Stamps and mix them with one batch with the Sugar Stamps. This will help hold down the cost and you can have cute meringues everyone will love! Enjoy!
