Saw this great tutorial about how to generate realistic inspirations using AI. This is so useful when the client gives me creative freedom.

This was my first time decorating cookies with royal icing. I found the cookie cutters at an estate sale and decided to try out royal icing. Some got messed up as I was moving them. Can’t wait to make more soon

Would anyone know how I could write out the “wrangler” for a cookie like this? I was thinking thicker icing and then like a tooth pick to etch it.

I am having a hard time finding the balance of my flood actually flooding the cookie. It’s like right at the consistency but if I add more water (with 1/8 tsp, so small amounts at a time) I end up with it too wet and it seeps out of the bag without me squeezing it.

Any advice

First

Not perfect, but it was my first time ever doing florals so I was happy with the set overall!

Hey there cookiers! I want to preface this by saying, I'm not trying to self promote. That's not my intention and I won't be linking my handles anywhere. With that said, I design cookie cutters.

I'm having a creative block and I want to hear from you! What designs do you wish you could find? What themes have you dreamed of?

So do you all use a projector for writing/fonts etc…. Or for those who don’t like me have one yet, any tricks of the trade to offer? I’m starting out and haven’t been able to spend the money of one yet. Are you just freehanding?

My lettering cratered even though it popped them in the dehydrator 🥴 still very fun challenge

Does anyone have a great chocolate sugar cookie recipe? Or just any fun sugar cookie recipes aside from the traditional vanilla or almond? I really want to try a new recipe. I am looking for roll out recipes only, not drop cookie recipes, as I will be decorating with royal icing. Thank you!!

Why do some recipes call for mixing the merengue powder and water to foam and then add the sugar, and others just mix the sugar and merengue powder together and then add the water?

I’m no stranger to baking but I’ve always been intimidated by royal icing cookies. I think I definitely need to work on getting my consistencies right. I wasn’t a fan of how my cookies baked either so I’ll have to find a better recipe. These spread and got a little misshapen.

Hi all, wanting to get a cookie dough mixer for my wife but I want it to be a surprise. We have a Kitchen Aid, but she keeps mentioning a Bosch(sp?) that apparently is all the rave these days in the cookie community. Would you kindly confirm which one it is before I pull the trigger? Someone on social media apparently made enough dough for 1,000 cookies in an hour. Will this thing fit in our modest kitchen? Haha

Hi everyone! I've been making cookies as a hobby for quite a few years now. I'm considering making it an actual business. I looked up what to do to make a cottage food business in Illinois, and I know I have to get a food service protection manager certificate and apply with my local health department, but is that all I need to do? Is that the only place I need to register the name or is there something I'm missing? I just want to make sure I do it right. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.
