I love this. Straight to the point and simple instructions. Thank you 🙏🏻 😃

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

Thank you! :)

[@lynnsoccasionalcookies]

this is a great video for me as I'm starting to look at edible images for my cookies. My question is... how does that edible image taste when you eat the cookie?

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

The image paper doesn’t really have a taste. It won’t take away from the deliciousness of your cookies.

[@lynnsoccasionalcookies]

@@CookingcinderellaSweetTreatsthank you so much for letting me know that. I think 2024 is going to be the year I do edible images on my cookies ;)

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

It really opens up a whole new world for sweets. Wishing you lots of success!

[@inesgoncalves4813]

Hello 🤗 can you please tell the best point of royal icing to fill the cookies? I tried once and it was very liquid 😢

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

I would say something like the consistency of honey. 🙂

[@inesgoncalves4813]

@@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats thank you very much 🥰

[@sugetoosty1685]

Great video- can you share cookie recipe and how you get them so uniform in shape- both cookies and royal icing topping.

[@cookingcinderella1]

I just use a basic sugar cookie recipe. If they are not shaped right, I use a lemon/citrus grater to shave them down around the edges.

[@plantbasedsweetheart]

Hi, would you know how to avoid getting air bubbles when using the icing sheets I just made a batch of cookies and I put edible prints on them and there’s so many air bubbles. I don’t know what I did wrong.

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

Hmmm. I haven’t had that issue yet. The only thing I can think of is if the icing my level, you may get air bubbles from that. Are they small or a larger air pocket?

[@cindyalexis616]

There beautiful great tutorial can they be stored in refrigerator after packaging?? To make ahead

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

I usually don’t store them in the fridge. It can cause condensation and if packaged the image can stick to the bag. But you can store them in a plastic air tight container for several days.

[@Ebonyg723]

Is their a special kind of printer to use when printing edible images or can you use a regular printer & just icing sheets?

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

I bought my printer (Canon) new and used edible ink cartridges and "ink". There are several great brands of regular printers, as well as printers specifically for edible printing. Never use a printer that has already had regular ink printed from it. www.cakecentral.com/forum/t/688970/best-edible-printer cookieconnection.juliausher.com/topic/edible-printers-preferences

[@bunny-if2cv]

Any inexpensive Canon printer works great - nothing fancy is needed. Just be sure it loads paper from the top back. Paper loaded from the bottom needs to be curled inside the printer 180 degrees, and a frosting sheet would crack, and insides of the printer will get all gunkied up. I know from experience.

[@sheilasanmartin9452]

Yes! Great point!

[@deniseedit.]

wanted to ask .. do you know what is the texture difference in placing the edible icing images on wet royal icing as opposed to leaving it to dry first ...

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

Great question! I have tried them on wet RO, but the moisture from the icing being wet made my image bleed. I have also used water to "glue" the edible images on, but (depending on the humidity of the day) they would sometimes bleed also. Piping gel has been my favorite "glue" so far. :)

[@Vsweetkreations]

Thank you u save me...what's your recommendation for edible printer to buy

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

I like the Canon brand printers. I use the Canon Pixma iX6820 I purchased mine from Icingimages.com in a bundle. You can use any color printer as long as it is new and has never ran regular ink through it. Whichever printer you get, I would just double check that there is a compatible empty printer cartridge you can replace the regular ink cartridge with.

[@Redd2sweet]

what size are the cookies and images

[@BarrioPlayaMJ]

Piping gel? Pls explain it , I haven't seen that before

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

I generally use the Wilton brand. It is basically a clear gel, it can be added to stabilized whipping cream to write or add details to cakes, adhere fondant to cakes, or as a glue for icing images. www.wilton.com/clear-piping-gel/704-105.html

[@momto108]

Love those. Do you know the size of the edible images?

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

Hi, So sorry not to get back with you sooner! These images are 2.31 inches. My cookies are about 2.5 inches. :)

[@MPGeterdone]

Is there a recommended machine to print eatable images?

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

I generally use the Canon brand, I currently have a Canon PIXMA MP560. But any new unused color printer will work. You would also need a refillable (empty no ink) printer cartage, for the edible inks. I use a syringe to refill them...I sometimes forget to wear gloves when I refill them. LOL Not a pretty look.

[@aquamagie]

What size cookie cutter did you use?

[@cinderellassweettreats253]

The cookie cutter for these was 2 1/ inches in diameter.

[@CakeEntrepreneur]

Do you cut these sugar images with scissors? there is a material to do it quickly?

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

I do cut them with scissors. I have thought about using my Cricut, but not sure how much time it would really save me or if it would mess up the image.

[@CakeEntrepreneur]

@@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats Thank you for your answer !

[@cherylweise4859]

Have you ever had difficulty with the edible image lifting off of the cookie and sticking to the bag that you place it in? My image is sticking to the inside of the bag.

[@sheilasanmartin9452]

The image on the cookie may not be dry enough or there may be high humidity. I have had this happen before also.

[@user-iv6ty3cd5i]

Im having the same problem!! UGH! Did you ever figure it out?

[@cookingcinderella1]

I usually have the issue if I use water to "glue" the image on the cookie. Piping gel helps keep the edges down. If the icing is not completely dry on the cookie, I have put them in a food dehydrated for just a few minutes to help make sure the icing on the cookie is set completely. You just have to be careful that the cookies don't dry out.

[@dolcefini2159]

How many hours does the edible image need to dry?

[@cookingcinderella1]

The edible image by itself can dry out fairly quickly, I haven't had a chance to check the drying time once on the cookie. I usually let them air dry on a cookie sheet for at least 3-4 hours before putting the cookies in a bag or a box. If they are not dry enough the image will stick to the inside of the cookie bag. Humidity can also make the drying time take a little longer.

[@louisedouglas2362]

How do you store them without sweating inside a bag?

[@cookingcinderella1]

To make sure they don't sweat, I just make sure they are completely dry before bagging them.

[@dolcefini2159]

How many hours does the edible image need to dry before bagging the? anybody?

[@cookingcinderella1]

Depending on humidity, 3-4 hours up to overnight. I usually make one or two extra cookies to test and see if they are ready.

[@dperez9858]

How far in advance can I put an edible image?

[@cookingcinderella1]

I don't usually put them on more than a day or two, before I deliver them to the customers.

[@dperez9858]

@@cookingcinderella1 i have a customer that needs to pick them up on the 22nd for a party on the 24th which means ill have to have to apply them on the 20th and bag them on the 21st.

[@lindsbeil1]

Crazy question logo isn’t edible correct?

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

Yes. The logo is edible. The “paper” is an icing sheet and the ink is a food coloring for printers. Check out my video of creating and printing the images 😊

[@PurpChuckz]

what app is best to print the images?

[@cookingcinderella1]

I usually just create them in Microsoft Word and print them from my computer.

[@tracymccarthy9297]

What is the 'glue'

[@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats]

I use Wilton's piping gel.

[@shenazmerchant2698]

Can i use white chocolate instead of royal icing?
