  • This is the video to watch if you are completing a large order--I know I like to listen to other people work on cookies while I'm cookie-ing too. I haven't decorated THIS many custom cookies with specifications in a LONG time. In today's video I talk about all the stages of my feelings as I'm completing a large cookie order and how I optimize my time to increase efficiency.

    Ooooo and people also need to understand how hard it is to be a one person business at home! 😭 you literally buy all ur ingredients, make everything (desserts + decorative frosting/icings), and have to clean up after yourself ! I can literally spend morning to night working on an order ! 😲

    Your videos are so helpful! Thank you! I'm doing a large cookie order for Christmas and plan to freeze a few weeks ahead of time. I once read that baked sugar cookies should set out (or covered) overnight before icing them. Of course, this definitely adds to the time schedule! Do you know why this would be recommended? You mentioned in your video that you ice yours the same day. That's what I'd prefer to do but haven't tried it. Thx!

  • @cursivebycamille7300

    Hi from New Zealand! Thank you for putting this video together, I found it very helpful. Just wondering, do you leave your cookies to cool down in the same tray they baked in? It appears you do, I'm guessing you have no issues with the underside becoming moist?

    I've just barely figured out how to make sugar cookie dough for cutout cookies and they still stress me out. Also, my piping skills are great (esp for cakes) but I just dont do or crave royal icing cookies enough to get better at them 🤔 beautiful work as always 😍💚💚

    • @SweetDreamsBakeShoppe
      @SweetDreamsBakeShoppe  3 роки тому +2

      Sometimes I get in a big cookie mood, but doing cakes can definitely be more rewarding because you get such a big product at the end of it! So many local bakeries don’t even offer custom cookies because it IS so much work for less payoff!

    • @Greenwings701
      @Greenwings701 Рік тому

      I prefer to mix a little quick cookie icing with a tsp bit of soft butter, 10x sugar, and a little milk, vanilla extract, & almond extract (never imitation) until the consistency is just right for spreading, and use right away else add a dab of more milk when you do.. (For colored icing, divide into little bowls and start with the tiniest drop of color in each until it's as you like, and I prefer the colors to be light.) I think royal icing is too sweet and too much work. Plus, just go with the shapes that cut the cleanest, and don't fuss with cutters that give you grief!

      I have frozen the dough for a week and it's still fine though I would try to use it within 3-4 days. I've left the dough frozen for up to 3 months, but it's probably best within about 1 month :).

    • @SweetDreamsBakeShoppe

      I actually recommend not putting any final prices for things that are custom order! You can put a starting price, but no bakeries I know put final prices down since things are so unique.
