Wonka Bar Cookie With A Golden Ticket!

Wonka Bar Cookie With A Golden Ticket!

Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory is one of my favorite movies, so when I received a request to make a Wonka Bar cookie for a friend’s birthday, I was excited to take on the challenge!

Wonka-Bar-Cookie-SweetAmbsHere’s what you’ll need for this project:
 Colors: 
  • Chocolate brown = Americolor chocolate brown
  • Silver = Americolor super black
  • Wrapper brown = Americolor chocolate brown + super black
  • Wrapper red/orange = Americolor tulip red + Wilton lemon yellow + Americolor chocolate brown
  • Yellow = Wilton buttercup yellow
  • Ivory = Wilton buttercup yellow
These and other decorating products are available on the recommended products page.
Score a 3×7″ cookie with the back of a paring knife before you bake it. (I realized later that I should have only scored the ends, so don’t score the whole thing unless you are going to make a chocolate bar cookie without a wrapper.)Wonka-Bar-Cookie
Place the cookie on a cooling rack (or drying rack like this one) and cover half of it with chocolate brown flood consistency icing. You don’t need a decorating tip for this part.Wonka-Bar-Cookie2
Use an offset spatula to spread the icing around. Make sure to spread it on the sides, too. Give the rack a few taps to allow the excess icing to drip off.Wonka-Bar-Cookie3
Use a brush to remove the icing from the grooves in the cookie.Wonka-Bar-Cookie4

Repeat the process with the gray icing on the other half of the cookie.Wonka-Bar-Cookie6Wonka-Bar-Cookie7
Dab the end of the gray side with bunched up plastic wrap to give the icing some texture. This will be the foil-wrapped end of the chocolate bar.Wonka-Bar-Cookie8
Allow the icing to dry 8-12 hours. You can see here that I covered the grooves in the middle of the cookie with more icing to create a smoother surface on which to pipe the wrapper later. I also used a small brush to make a guide so I would have a guide for painting the golden ticket.Wonka-Bar-Cookie10
To make the golden ticket, I used a mixture of Sugarflair Royal Gold luster dust mixed with a few drops of Bacardi 151. Read this post on how to make gold icing for more information on this process. I also painted the gray end of the bar with Wilton silver pearl dust to make it look like foil.
Once I applied the gold pearl dust, I used the scribe tool to scratch a border and lettering into the icing.

After letting the paint dry for a few minutes, I piped the wrapper using dark brown flood consistency icing with a reddish-orange border. I also used a stiff brush to create a little bit of texture on the end to make it look like the wrapper was torn.Wonka-Bar-Cookie13
Allow the icing to dry at least 2 hours in front of a fan and then use a scribe tool to sketch the outline of the lettering.Wonka-Bar-Cookie14
The hat was piped with a buttercup yellow medium consistency icing and a tip 1 and the lettering was piped with a lighter shade of this same color, also with a tip 1.

Pipe a little bit of the light buttercup yellow icing on the “torn” end of the wrapper and add texture by dabbing it with a brush. Then add a little bit of silver pearl dust.
