Hey there, beautiful peeps. My name is Ramsi, and I'm a tad obsessed with cookies. Ok, if I have my own cottage baking business (going on 5 years), it's a little more than "a tad". With this channel, I hope to help others along their baking/decorating journey with example videos, tutorials that teach different techniques, and everything else "cookie"! I may even mix in a little humor because, after all, there is not much better than a good laugh. So, I hope you'll hop on this adventure with me by tuning in and/or subscribing to my channel. HOLLA!
Love the 'Horns comment!😉 So how much icing are you starting out with each color "recipe"? Just trying to get a reference as to how many drops to use say per 1 Ounce or per 1/2 Cup. TIA
@@euklinrichards7444 this is the recipe I use! Just make sure you read the description for ways you can cater it to your own tastes and preferences. For example, the type of sugar you use changes the texture, etc. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nUECX6L3f4s.htmlsi=xSMvoEmEwXmz56bU
So I don’t have to use alcohol at all. I love how your tutorial was. Do you have more with painted. I tried for the first time wish I could show you to get fed back.
@@euklinrichards7444 not if you don’t want to! Water will work, just use it sparingly. 😊 Here is another watercolored whiskey tutorial. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3CcwZgjnJN4.htmlsi=yiTqz01vZRr2kuY5
@@darkwolfkendra4 some prefer Vodka because it dries faster. I like to use water because, when I paint, I don’t want it to dry faster than I can paint my design, lol! It’s just a personal preference!
You’re very welcome! If you’re looking for a darker sage green, I would add a little forest green to your avocado/wedgewood mixture. If you’re looking for a more sage gray color, I would add some slate or a SMIDGE (like a pin prick) of black little by little. Hope this helps!
First thing i did when i got this sealer was rip that strip thinking it was one of those protective tapes. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️thankfully i found your video that showed me it was part of it so i opened it and replaced it.
There are several different factors that can affect the drying process such as climate in your area, etc, but I usually leave my flooded cookies out over night to dry. 😊 The icing acts as a blanket to keep the cookie from drying out, so it’ll be just fine under the air circulation as it dries.
So sorry to hear that! Piping over a crusted over base is always the top way to avoid craters, but this has been the second best thing for me, lol! I have to almost destroy the area where I intend to fill in with icing, though, instead of just simply poking a few holes if the base is fully dry. I know it’s frustrating! 😩
Great info but I'm surprised your cookies stay fresh for a long period. Celo bags are breathable so air gets in them very easily. I use poly bags to avoid that and truly make them airtight.
Thank you! The base is super red with some burgundy and eggplant added in to the mix! I add corn syrup to my icing which helps with the shine, but doesn’t make it incredibly shiny. 😊 Honestly, it might be because it was still a bit wet. However, I think adding the texture to the pumpkin gave it an extra kick for sure! 😊
I don't know if I'll ever have occasion to make dinosaur cookies, but I love your dinosaur eye! And I love that you took the time to give us a detailed tutorial. Thank you!
So fun to take a tour of your cookie room! I like the efficient ways you save trips to the kitchen (i.e. the little pot trash can!). Question: Do you bag and heat seal every cookie? If a customer doesn't want their cookies bagged, do you just put one (cottage law) ingredient/info sticker on the box? Love your "homegirl" sign, too! Great room! Lesa (Indiana)
Hey there, Lesa! Thanks for your comment and sweet words! 😊 Outside of any drop cookie I bake with delicate icing (bagging will ruin the icing), I heat seal every single cookie! If I have a customer requesting no packaging, I try my best to talk them into it and stress how much fresher and more protected the cookies will be if sealed. Huge benefits! They always change their mind! I tell them that they can always cut the cookie out of the package when they are ready to be displayed at their event if desired, but they will always leave my hands sealed for freshness. 😊 For the drop cookies with delicate icing I cannot package, I will arrange those in a cute bakery box on top of some grease proof parchment and adhere my label to the bottom of the box. I hope this helps! 😊
Do you mean, for example, to scrape on “love” using a silk screen stencil, then pipe over it for the puff? You can do that! Just follow the lines carefully as you do the top trace. 😊 However, just in case, I would use the hole poking method before you flood the puff areas to avoid craters. The hole poking method is (now) the second best thing to do to avoid craters, in my opinion. I have an updated crater video I posted a week ago that may help. I’ll try to link it above for you now!
