How To Pipe Lettering On Cookies Without A Projector

[@iElley14]

Saw a comment on here about watching Amber for a long time, and it had dawned on me just now that I’ve been watching your videos for (more or less) 8 years... time flies! You have such talent, and it’s amazing to see your growth! ♥️

[@Sweetambs]

Thank you, Elley ☺️ It’s hard to believe how long I’ve been making these videos! 😄

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

[@kmc55]

I bought a projector many years ago and have used it many times. It works great but it's big and heavy to move to my baking area. I love this method much better! Many years ago when I transferred images to sheet cakes I would use piping gel on wax paper to trace the image then flip it over and press image on to cake following the design using a toothpick. It worked! I've been decorating cookies and cakes since my first Wilton cake decorating class in 1979. Still enjoy it😃

[@Sweetambs]

Oh wow that’s a lot of work! Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@paunda1466]

I've been following you since I was like 8 or 9 years old, now I'm 15 almost 16 😁

[@Sweetambs]

Wow!! That’s amazing. Thank you for following for so long ☺️💕

[@user-ve6uq4yc6c]

Wow, that's cool. Both of you 😺

[@mindywiseman8972]

That’s the same with me except I started out since maybe 13 and I’m 21 now. My favorite cookie decorator by far, one of the reasons I’m a baker now 🤗

[@byronchandler5000]

Your lettering cookies look so elegant, Amber.

[@Sweetambs]

Thank you, Byron!

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

This will be interesting to try. I'm left handed so I hope I don't smudge it while moving forward.

[@adriannaberlingerio7622]

I have been hearing positive things about your skills. Glad to follow you and hopefully I will learn from such a professional. I love this video but I just get anxious when I see how perfect your cookies are and know how hard it is to match up to your skills

[@Sweetambs]

We all have to start somewhere! 😄I’ve been doing this for 13 years so don’t put pressure on yourself to make the cookies look like this right away. This post shows what my cookies looked like when I first started decorating compared to how they looked after a few years of practice: www.sweetambs.com/tutorial/i-was-a-beginner-once-and-im-still-learning/

[@thatgirlray2765]

great trick! I’ve never been great at writing on cookies with icing, can’t wait to give this trick a try! Do you by any chance know what font “birthday” was in? Or any similar fonts? I’ve been having trouble finding a good one. Great work as usual!

[@Ssss-eh5kt]

Niallerrrrr 😭❤

[@Milwaukeegirl]

Your decorating is fantastic! On a side note, I love your voice. It's so relaxing. You did a quilted cookie tutorial on Craftsy and it's so soothing to watch.

thx

Love the idea of using tissue paper

[@janelove6291]

I’ve had your cookie recipe for a fair while now and love making them but I was curious what I’d need to do to make chocolate sugar cookies? Do I just add cocoa powder?

[@adventureswithkrysten2551]

Hi do you add yhe lettering after the cookie icing has dried some or while its still wet?

[@madelinemercado6850]

THANK YOU SO MUCH ♥️👍🏼

[@jccanada9931]

Amber what second consistency do you use for borders

How did you get rid of the smudges of ink that showed through?

[@mommycohen]

Can you please share the proportions of how you achieved the light blue and dark blue , dark green and light green color? My wedding has that color blue!! Thanks!

[@lovestolaugh]

Can't wait to try this technique!

[@crystalfigueroa1655]

Nice job. What if you make a mistake with the lettering? I feel like it’s not possible to just wipe off. I feel like it would leave a stain. Any tips? Thank you

[@Sweetambs]

It could leave a stain but you can try to wipe it off with a damp brush or damp paper towel ☺️

[@Suupsoup]

So pretty! Thank you for the tip!

[@mariaivonedealmeidadondoni4565]

[@adrianasinc8939]

Thank you so, so much. This is awesome!!

[@suegendron2260]

This is a very cool method, but in the last shot, you can see the pen marks. I wonder if there's a way to make these lines thinner - or more precise?

[@susanmcdevitt3467]

I have trouble with the edible marker color soaking/bleeding into the piped letters. So often the letters I'm piping are white, and no matter what color marker I've tried, the white letters (doesn't matter what consistency I used) soak up some of the marker. I piped white letters onto blue cookies the other day, with black edible marker. The next day, the white had little patches of pink here and there on almost every cookie. Please help! (I made sure the marker was dry before piping.... I did 50 of them, so by the time I got to piping, the marker was well dried)

[@SB-xh8gy]

Thank you! Wow!

[@TheWaterMarbler]

The line at the top left of this video had me thinking that my screen was cracked! Lol.

[@veronikam8161]

No kidding about the consistency->> What I would like to know, how your flood icing is stiff enough not the flood away from the edges, yet you can make base, roses and leaves while it’s still wet. Mine would be dry after 2 roses or overflowing the edges.

[@Sweetambs]

How much meringue powder do use in your royal icing? It might help to increase it. This post has more tips ☺️ www.sweetambs.com/tutorial/valentines-day-decorated-sugar-cookies-wet-on-wet-royal-icing-roses/

[@veronikam8161]

@@Sweetambs Thank you. I usually buy ready royal icing mix or make my own, but never occurred to me to add more dried eggs to my mix. I will try next time, thank you 😍😊

I have been using a free app called Flowly for cookie lettering. Takes a little practice but works really well as an alternative for a projector.

[@eloranewman3372]

When letting the first coat of icing dry over night how do you store the cookies so they stay soft. I’m just starting out in baking and was scared the cookie would harden leaving it out over night lol

[@Sweetambs]

I had this same issue when I first started decorating cookies! Now I add agave syrup to my cookie dough to keep the cookies from drying out while the icing dries. My full recipe is available in my Ko-Fi shop ☺️ ko-fi.com/s/4a329bf7a7

[@jenmcgavran8524]

How much of the tip do you cut off before putting it in the coupler?

[@Sweetambs]

Cut it so that the opening starts at the first thread of the coupler. Full instructions for prepping a bag are shown in Royal Icing 101 in my Cookie Art Club ☺️ Http://sweetambs.mn.co

Why you dont use in this case printer?

[@Sweetambs]

You could definitely use a printer if you have one. The point of this video is to show how to pipe lettering without using special equipment.
