I really appreciate your videos and and I'm learning a lot! My boyfriend bought me an airbrush for Mother's Day and it has sat until now but today I'm going to get it out and try my best using your instruction. Thank you for making simple and easy to follow videos!

EXCELLENT VIDEO Thank you so much for sharing this video

[@marieknows5892]

I just ordered my cookie countess machine this morning! So excited!

[@sandramendoza516]

Hi, I’m enjoying watching your videos and learn all you wonderful techniques. Thank you 💕

[@hellewikstrom4337]

I really like the way you explain things.

[@gabrielncali8999]

Anne, this is so good! You’re so good with mixing colors! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@wildjungle11]

Thank you for this awesome video!

[@Maiasatara]

I'm laughing because my first airbrush has been sitting in its case, with that rest of my supplies, for a little over a month now! Glad it's not just me. Since I really want it for good ocean colors this summer I'd better start practicing for Valentines Day. The Genie is SO EXPENSIVE, though, for a bit of plastic with magnets!

[@wimpydom]

Thanks for the lovely tutorial, I am a beginner I will practice . X

[@canadianmom]

Thank you for the information! So good.

[@Monica-gc9td]

Hi just started to look at your videos as a beginner how do you make the cookie dough first

[@barbiek3987]

Thanks for the tutorial. Do you also have one for how to clean the airbrush gun and how to store the system? I'm wondering if you leave the airtube attached to both gun and compressor.

[@kathyenglish775]

I've had my airbrush for over a year and it's still in its box! It scares me!!! I'm going to watch all your videos and hopefully, the airbrush will emerge from the box. I loved your cookies!

[@semicrazyketogal8226]

Get it out and practice on paper towels. Find out what your missing.

[@susheilayarsien92]

Super fantastic

[@Nenaotero1]

I bough the air brush starter kit about 1 month but I have a question Does the cookie need to touch the cookie? o how do you know, in this video you mention that there is another for bigger cookies so the one I jus bough doesn't work and now I need to buy something else. Sorry I really little confused. Please Help!

[@Karen-qy6cc]

Can you freeze airbrushed cookies or will they smear when defrosting?

[@laurieborne484]

Are the flowers royal icing or buttercream flowers ?

[@gladysprentice9637]

Hello, when and how you learned how to decorate with royal icing? I love your work and your way to explain. Thank you

[@janicekennedy2047]

The butterfly cookies are beautiful. If you are doing a bunch, do you do each one individually with the colors or do you do all of them with yellow first, and then the pink, etc.? In other words is it OK for the airbrush colors to dry before adding another color to get that rainbow effect?

[@cxg7381]

I am wondering the same thing. Did you locate an answer? I’m needing to decorate multiple cookies with color variation so am anxious to find out an efficient way to complete the task. Thanks.

[@tracywade9419]

My black looks dark green when I use it.

[@FireflyBakerySweets]

That mini mixing bowl? Where did you get it? These cookies are so pretty.

[@barbiek3987]

Did you ever find those little bowls? I ordered some off of Amazon.

[@mecheleclasson]

How long do you leave your cookie to dry after spraying or stenciling with words before you package your cookies

[@barbiek3987]

I use a buttercream made with shortening (to create a 'crust') instead of butter. Stencil and let dry overnight. They are still a soft bite, but hard enough to gently stack. And the buttercream does taste good. You'd never know it wasn't butter.

[@darlamowry1437]

Is there a wait time after airbrushing, before you add the stencil, or does airbrushing dry pretty quick?

[@Nenaotero1]

How can I now when you going to have more classes.

[@sarahdecker4104]

I have air brushed cookies, but when I put them in the bags as favors they bleed and rub off. And this is after I have let them dry for 24 hours. Do you have any tips to prevent that?

[@mcinemi]

Brush some cornstarch on them before bagging :)

[@samhugh4965]

@Sarah Decker, I read on a FB cookie group that it’s the composition of the bag. Poly bags will cause bleeding, while cello won’t. Don’t know if that’s true or not, lol.

[@tanyaglez98]

Which piping tip is that to make the mini flowers?

[@amandabuckle3132]

Tip 129

[@jeriaustin672]

Could you have just airbrushed the smart cookie stencil instead of icing?

[@ednamedina5111]

I have cookie cutters and an airbrush machine and I don't even start making cookies. Definitely I need to begin to practice.

[@frogjulie100]

Glad ware...

[@educ8dmind]

My airbrush machine has been sitting in a box for over a year.

[@veronicarivera5460]

Any advice on how not to get spots?

[@TheFlourBoxShop]

Try turning up your speed control. If it is too low, you'll see spattering.

[@veronicarivera5460]

@@TheFlourBoxShop Thank you. The airbrush is not my friend. every time I use it something goes wrong :(

[@roslinc7301]

I hate the "um"'s. Great content but I found that very distracting

[@1daizie]

Really, why be negative???

[@kellicarmichael7462]

Roslin/Food Fairy Chef - I can see that you haven't actually got anything on your channel so you clearly don't realise how difficult it is to do a video tutorial where you have to be able to articulate yourself well enough for people to be able to understand and follow your instruction. You should try it. It's really hard! It might make you a little more forgiving of people who say 'um' to give their brain a moment to think about what they're going to say next. 'Um'... just saying.....
