thanks for all the love on my post yesterday 🫶🏼 i did not expect that much encouragement but thank you! wanted to share my 2nd paid job today.

what do you guys think? i have such a hard time judging my own work. i charged $60 for 24 cookies. does that seem like a good price? it took me a couple hours to cut out & bake them yesterday, and then today i was decorating for maybe 4ish hours, but im sure that could be reduced with practice.

Hi! I’ve been a cookie decorator for about 4 years now, always use the same recipe and my cookies are always shiny and soft. The last like 6 orders I’ve done have come out completely matte out of nowhere. I haven’t changed anything and I have a dehumidifier running in the room where I decorate and a fan blowing on them. The humidity isn’t terribly high anyway so I’m just trying to figure out what the problem here is. Is it the warmer weather? Ugh it’s driving me crazy

I’m new to using royal icing and used Preppy Kitchens’s recipe:

Ingredients ▢ 3 egg whites ▢ 1 pound confectioners’ sugar (450g) ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

I used gel food colouring. Flooded biscuits night before, in the morning I did the piping. They were left out on the counter in a cold kitchen to dry and then I noticed them looking like this. Any idea why? Was the flooded layer not dry enough? Thanks in advance

Don’t look at all the symbols for too long haha

I couldn’t find anything about this online so figured I’d ask here!

I LOVE how the fondant accents look on royal icing cookies like in this photo. I’d love to add them to my Mother’s Day set! However, I cannot use fondant as I am a vegan baker. So I was wondering if I could use chocolate instead? I’ve done chocolate in my molds many times and it turns out beautiful. But would the chocolate flowers stick to the royal icing cookie if I use the icing as “glue”? Has anyone tried this?

Hi all,

Has anyone got a relatively clean royal icing recipe? I'm trying to use as few inflammatory ingredients (additives etc.) as possible, I don't know if it's possible to make anti-inflammatory cookies/royal icing but I'm trying to get as close to it as possible. Unfortunately aquafaba is not an option either.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Some hot wheels cookies for a 4 year old boy’s birthday. The 4 cars were specially requested by him! This is only my 5th set and my first time using the edible pens. Super fun!

I want to make a gingham style cookie for my daughters first birthday. I believe I need to do paint it, so im looking for a recommendation of edible paint (available in US) that anyone has used to achieve this look!

This is the outcome for my daughter’s birthday party cookies! I actually had way more trouble than the first time with the royal icing 🤣 but I was also sleep deprived. I gave it my best, and it definitely doesn’t look perfect but I’m happy! Thank you to everyone who encouraged me. 💕 (name blocked out for privacy as it’s not a common one)

I am inspired to get started due to the beautiful creations I see on this sub all the time! But I have no idea where or how to get started :( I want to start beyond buying the icing at the store pre-made, but have no clue where to even begin.

Any and all tips or recipes, experiences, etc are appreciated! :)

I am freezing decorated cookies for the first time. Do I need to dust them with cornstarch before I heat seal them? Thank you!
