Judy, my baking time ranges between 8-12 minutes depending on size. I usually touch a cookie before removing them and if it leaves a slight imprint I put them back in for a little longer until the...

Great Dotty! I was going to mention a tip from Liz, Arty McGoo. When using candy melts with molds she uses a paintbrush to paint the first layer of melted candy on the mold and once that sets she...

Dotty, I've used Tootsie Rolls (I buy up bags of the multi-colored ones at Easter time) but all in all candy clay is my favorite for modeling BUT it's not great for shipping if it's a dimensional...

Sarah,

The only time I'm aware of bags opening is when I haven't had the heat sealer hot enough. I can heat seal a number of cookies and while they all look completely sealed I can go to pack them...

Michelle, since I use glaze I don't need to refrigerate my icing but occasionally if I leave my icing in a bottle for a couple days unused, I'll just stretch a layer of cellophane between the bottle...

I only use bottles and one of the reasons is that I find cleaning them far easier than the mess that happens when I go to remove the coupler from a piping bag. I also much prefer using them during...

Prepay prepay prepay!

The very few times I didn't require full payment upfront it was more of a hassle than it was worth and even though I learned my lesson the hard way, I waived my usual policy...

I'd go with Jacqui's suggestion and add some lemon zest but only after checking with the customer. I'd actually just ask her why no extract on the off-chance it's just an issue about being concerned...

I Cup4Cup which is a fairly new gluten-free flour on the market. You use it exactly the same as regular flour. Also, you need to be sure your baking powder is gluten-free...not all are, it just...

And JOKING by the way! I love them!

Gee Michelle, those are quite perfect enough. Maybe if you keep practicing.....

Donna,

I just saw these photos today but wow, those are wonderful! Excellent detailing and design!

Michelle, Those totally made me smile....as well as make a note to completely copy YOUR idea ;)

I'm a huge fan of Bento cutters for cookies, especially for minis!

Cindy, the main time I use my KK is for writing too. Even if I just want my own handwriting I write the message on paper and project it on the cookie so I get the spacing right.

Lisa,

That's so sweet of you, thank you! I've been missing in action this fall because we were prepping for and then gone for more than a month to Italy (I know, poor me) and yes, I managed to...

Dotty, Dotty, Dotty...we're all one in the same boat girlfriend, but IF I were to pick superstars in the cookie world it would be those who have a full-time job and/or a family of kids AND still...

Michelle,

You're coming all the way from the UK?! Wow! Oh please be sure that we meet. I'll be looking for you!

Tasha,

Thank you so much for your service. I hope and pray for your safe return and that our appreciation and concern for you will help to make you feel at times a little less far from home.

Sarah, what a great list! I'm honored to be included and just subscribed so I can follow easier too. I really appreciate you doing this because Facebook has really made a mess of things. Boo-Hiss.

Hi Sarah!

I'm not taking any cookies because I just returned from a month in Italy and wanted to use these few days before Cookie Con to plan out my cookie designs on orders for November and...

Those are such sweet cupcake cookies!

Poppypixie, welcome!

I just returned from London a few days ago. LOVED it there and plan to return! I searched for cookie cutters while I was there and found a few at Harrods but otherwise didn't...

Pam, the other problem with letting the fondant dry in advance is that if it doesn't lay flat on the cookie there's every chance it's going to crack and break off. The only time I pre-make and dry...

I think if you have children it becomes more of an issue because they always have events coming up that you can't possibly know that far in advance but for me, the sooner the better. I'd take an...
