This is a cookie cutter set sold at Peaches and Dream CA (Canada).

This was my first I scream attempt. Do you like it more or less?

How do you guys manage to get very good looking and delicious cookies, Im not Americans and we don't have this kind of cookies in my culture but I tried to bake them twice and they turned horrible one time they tasted like egg and another time they just weren't baked inside just crispy from outside and unbaked inside, also how do you manage to get them to that golden brown beautiful color because mine turned so pale. Please please please I need help if u have any recipe, tutorial or even advice share it with me. Thank you 😊🙏

I REALLY struggle w numbers and letters big time. Made especially difficult w out a projector. I usually use cookie transfers for them. But decided today to Yolo it lol They actually came out OK for me! Most people won't understand so I had to post it here. 😂

A gift for a friend. Still working on some things, especially free hand lettering and small things.

1. Is puffy icing a different consistancy than outline? I am just a hobbyist but I do usually use two consistencies because if I use the same for outline and filling it, it's just so thick. I have some cookies I want to do puffy icing on and I didn't know if I needed to make a third one.

2. My daughter wanted a hum vampire murder mystery party for her 30th birthday. It's in December so I think I'll be able to find some bat things after Halloween on sale. Most of the Halloween vampire bat type cookies I see are

" cute"... I want these to be more goth. I do have some bat cookie cutters. I was going to make some black cocoa cookies but I wanted some other ones with black and white icing but I need some inspo. Have any of y'all ever done anything like that? I have circle and square cookie cutters. I thought about making a vampire out of a gingerbread man but then that seemed like it would look too cute. I was thinking about making some black and white ones with just her name and 30 on it. I'm not good at thinking up stuff like this. Do y'all have any ideas?

I am testing flavors of icing with my spiced apple cookies. Spiced cinnamon, caramel, and vanilla. Excited to see which flavor pairs best!

Definitely was way more difficult than I expected it to be! The flooding was pretty easy (although I think I used too much), but the piping was very very challenging. I think next time I will practice outlining some shapes on parchment paper to practice my technique. Do y’all find the plastic bags with cut tip to be the best tool for this? I seemed to have more luck without adding the round metal tip.

I like how the ghosts came out!!

I cannot for the life of me figure out the perfect baking temp/time for my 3/8” sugar cookies (they are all around 3 to 4 inches wide). These were baked at 350 (per an oven thermometer that I bought) for 17 minutes, the edges and bottoms were golden brown, but the centers were still undercooked! I like to eat them this way but for customers I want to make sure they’re baked through. I have also tried other temp and time combos but seem to always end up with undercooked centers.

What are your baking temps and times for 3/8” cookies?

I wanted to create a Halloween cookie set that felt more whimsical than spooky, almost like something from a little fairy tale. So I came up with these four designs and brought them to life with royal icing. 😊
Which one is your favorite?

UPDATE: Almost a year later since learning how to do royal icing sugar cookies- Added a new video on the results for the actual event after the practice cookies.

Original post in June 2026 was my practice cookies after about a 9 month hiatus

Updated post: event was in July 2026

I changed up some of the details like how I did the leaves after more practice and added a few more new cookies from the original post like the # 90 for fun to practice with but it came out cute so I served it.

Let me know what yall think on the before and after!

I scream you scream!

My soccer-loving grandson turns 9 this week! I was dreading the soccer balls because I've heard horror stories about decorating soccer balls, but it actually went pretty well with my projector. The soccer fields were the worst, actually. Trouble with icing consistency and doing straight lines. But I'm sure he'll like them anyway!

My niece asked me to make her Pokémon cookies.

UPDATE: Thank you Everyone!! I did not expect this much feedback and response. Everyone was SUPER understanding and helpful. Like I've mentioned to some of you, I am PAINFULLY a visual learner and couldn't understand how was I suppose to start. This is something that I've REALLY wanted to learn for some time. I appreciate all of you!

Hi everyone!! I am SO sorry if this is something that has been discussed OVER and OVER and OVER. Sorry! I'm going to sound like an idiot. I LITERALLY looked everywhere and just can't find the answer and know I can probably buy a tutorial but just trying to understand. I will put parts in bold, not because I am angry, just that these are points in the conversation that I am trying to find out. Just for background, I have a basic knowledge of baking, know how to make sugar cookies and gingerbread from scratch, and have a better grasp of buttercream. Know the basics of flooding icing.

 Problem I have with a lot of these decorating tutorials, the creator show how to ice on a blank cookie, but not showing how the base cookie was shaped in the first place? It doesn't help to learn to ice a cookie if I don't have the shape to start with and can't find at all. Prebought Cookie cutter? Self-made cookie cutter? How??

 Questions is: How do bakers get these customized based shapes first for their customized cookie ideas? Are these ALL prebought or is there a process for a custom cookie cutter? I understand how these content creators are decorating cookies with outlines and flooding,  but determining where to put the lines, to make your border looks so seamless.  Are you looking at a pre-printed image? Custom making the shape of the cookie cutter, then  projector to fill? Is this more complicated than I think it is?? I’m sorry, I’m a idiot. Just REALLY been wanting to learn for almost 10 years now. Started getting into it in 2017, but then school, work, baby, another baby... I'm in a spot where I am getting into my hobbies again and learning new skills to make beautiful things for my kids now ( 6 year old and 18 months). Any help is appreciated!!

Sally’s baking addiction cutout sugar cookie recipe with LorAnn’s buttery sweet dough emulsion added in addition to the vanilla and almond extract.

The icing is frankenfrosting. I used Sweet Hope’s recipe and I substituted some of the vanilla for cake batter extract and marshmallow extract from LorAnn’s as well.🎃🧡
