[@kalei99]

How often do you clean the stencil if doing a lot of cookies? Thank you for the tutorial!!

[@sugarbeezllc]

kalei99 I will wipe the side of the stencil that touches the cookie, with a dry paper towel, if I notice the image isn’t completely clear. But I usually don’t have to clean it completely until I’m done screening all the cookies. I move quickly and make sure my icing is about the consistency of 20-second icing. Also, add a little piping gel to your icing, about 1 tsp per cup of icing, to keep it from drying to fast.

[@rosestavast8208]

So you reuse the icing on the scraper a few times, do you scrape the excess into a bowl? I find the icing on my scraper dries out and gets too thick to keep using.

[@sugarbeezllc]

I do scrape it into a bowl and give it a mix every once in a while.

[@jlester9223]

[@loristone1264]

So silk screen on front or back

[@samhugh4965]

Oh, definitely you can use an airbrush!

[@vanessaegraymason874]

Can you do this method with an airbrush?

[@sugarbeezllc]

You can, you just need to make sure the stencil is tight to the cookie so you don't get underspray. Using a stencil frame might be best.

[@julianawijoyo824]

Hi Tracy. Thank you for the great video. I tried it on the weekend. My icing had a tiny bleed as well as some icing were spotty when I pulled the screen off. If I were to make the RI thinner to avoid the spots, then there would be more bleed and vice versa. So I wonder if something else I did wasn’t working. For example, is it possible that the extra screen on the bottom wasn’t long enough for me to pull so it created some bumps on the stencil (circle cookie) instead of having it lay flat. And is it also possible that the stencil design itself was hard to make a clean scrape (like the lines are too close together)? Or anything else? This video inspired me to the scraping method, so I want to learn to get better at it for next time! 😊

[@sugarbeezllc]

The blank spots, is that happening on the very first swipe? Makes me think the icing dried on the stencil. The consistency should have the DQ swirl…when you lift your spatula up out of the icing, the point should fall over like a DQ ice cream swirl.

[@julianawijoyo824]

@@sugarbeezllc No, it happened on each one, some less and some more. Yes, I think the icing clumped together on the stencil. I did thin it down and it was still doing the blank spots, but not as severe, and there was some bleeding too; so I can't thin it down further. Hence I wonder if the extra silkscreen around the design wasn't big enough for my cookie or maybe the design itself isn't working for the scraping method. Would you have further insight on this? Thanks.

[@sugarbeezllc]

@@julianawijoyo824Did you swipe off the icing before lifting the stencil? That helps force the icing through the stencil

[@julianawijoyo824]

@@sugarbeezllc yes, I swipe it many times in various directions

[@sugarbeezllc]

@@julianawijoyo824 email me at [e-mail] and I’ll be happy to work this through with you!

[@user-ws5mb7it5g]

What consistency is your icing for this?

[@sugarbeezllc]

I call it a curly Q consistency. When I pull my spatula up out of the icing, it curls over like a DQ ice cream cone, if that makes sense. Or use the consistency you would for piping letters. You just don’t want the consistency to be too loose or it will get under your stencil. I hope this is helpful!

[@vickikunetka1111]

The screen gives a cleaner design than a stencil? How so? Does it diffuse the icing more? I would love to know how to make screens.

[@sugarbeezllc]

Hi Vicki, great question! Yes, it is clearer than a stencil, and you don’t have those bridges that you have with stencils. It does diffuse the icing through a fine mesh screen, which gives is a beautiful finish.

[@vickikunetka1111]

@@sugarbeezllc Thank you! Follow up questions: Are premade screens for cookies available on the market? Are there custom design services? Can I make my own screen design and hire someone to make the screen for me? Can screens be used in conjunction with stencils I already have? I love your work, by the way!

Hi Leigh, sounds to me like your icing is too thick, needs to be thinned out a little bit more.

[@mirandabunting7657]

What consistency is your icing?

Hi Miranda, the icing I do the screen printing with is a soft peak consistency. Softer than piping consistency, but not even close to flood consistency. I hope that helps?

Do you put the icing on the screen or the heat transfer part?

[@sugarbeezllc]

The heat transfer vinyl is pressed to the screen, and becomes a screen print stencil. They are fused together. You put that over the cookie and the icing on top of that. Hope that helps!

[@doriskelly1447]

@@sugarbeezllc yes does very much also wondering when stenciling on the cookie do you put the transfer touching the cookie or the silk screen. Wondering if it made a difference, which way works best.

[@terrijennings8492]

My icing will not soak through the screen. I bought the kit from icing images... what am I doing wrong?

[@sugarbeezllc]

Terri Jennings Hi Terri, what kit do you mean? Your icing should be a soft peak consistency, not stiff. Stiff icing doesn’t work well and too thin will bleed under the screen.
