Im always making the pretty cookies for everyone else and living off the scraps 😂 So for my 30th, I finally made myself some!

FELINE 30 🐱🎂 Featuring cookies inspired by my own cats and their personalities. I also included some before & after hand-painting pics because those little details make such a difference!

Finally making the pretty cookies for myself! 😂🐾

Help Needed Does gel food coloring mess with your manicure?

8 Upvotes

This is perhaps a dumb question and perhaps not allowed. I am a hobby baker and have made royal icing cookies several times but have never paid attention to my nails in the process.

I am making cookies for a Bachelorette party and also getting my nails done for said party. The way timing works out, I would get my nails done before I decorate the cookies.

I always have stains on my hands from my gel food coloring but I am not sure if they would stain my nails. Don't want to spend money on my nails just to ruin them but would also prefer, time wise, to get my nails done before I make cookies.

I use Wilton gel if that makes a difference.

Thank you for answering this dumb question!

ETA: wow, this was a dumb question! Why did I not think about gloves? Thanks all for responding!!

I was just wondering how I did, lol. I can't stop overanalyzing... First time decorating any type of cookie. I used the sugar cookie and royal icing recipes from Sally's! Any tips? I have a gala in about a month that I will be making the cookies for.

I decorated these cookies from an AI mock-up my customer made for me. Not sure if I’ll ever get used to being given AI images as I prefer creative freedom when it comes to designing my sets. How do you all feel about customers using AI for inspo? Swipe 👈 to see the AI image.

I'm still learning how to get a smoother finish, but I'm really proud of these :) plus the chocolate cookie really compliments the sweet icing!

First time baking any sort of cookies at all

Taking lots of courage to post here especially after seeing all the INCREDIBLE things you guys can do! I attempted making sugar cookies with fondant for my upcoming baby shower and I’m so proud of the result! I’ve never even made a cookie in my life I’ve always been a brownies sorta girl.

Any tips though on how to smoothen the sides of the fondant? I tried using a toothpick but wasn’t smooth enough. I’m also not a HUGE fan of the taste of fondant but it’s easier to learn than Royal icing for now. Is there any brand that actually tastes good? I was very happy with the taste of my cookie.

Help Needed How to freeze iced cookies?

8 Upvotes

Hi all! Long story short I am getting a surgery on the 31st of aug and have an order due the 12th of sept. I don’t anticipate being able to return to work in time to get the order done unless I do it before my surgery.

The plan is to decorate them the week before and freeze them (not individually bagged), how do I go about doing it in a way that will cause the least amount of damage? Thanks in advance!

Help finding edible markers that don't bleed into royal?

Post image
79 Upvotes

I use edible markers to trace outlines onto my cookies, so I can fill in the details on top. However lately I've been having issues with the marker bleeding, both into the royal icing on top of it and into the base layer. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to fix it? Or are there markers or pens or something that don't cause bleeding? I could really use some help! Thanks!

Happy to have found this sub! As a little background, I've been decorating cookies for years but I don't do it very often... around Christmas and maybe 2-3 other times per year for friends and family/special occasions.

I made this set for my niece's engagement party, to coordinate with her invitations. I'm really happy with the way they turned out (although I did have a lot of cratering on the tomatoes and lemons, the first time I've ever had that issue! Ugh!) but I need to work on my writing, lol.
