Thank you so much for sharing this technique!! It's absolutely GORGEOUS and you explained it perfectly!!

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Hi Denise! That makes me so happy. So glad it was helpful!!

[@kimtalbot8621]

I love everything you show us, it is so helpful. The music repetition got to me after awhile. I do appreciate you.

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Thank you, Kim!

[@JackieDigildo-et3tr]

Perfect! Takes time to be perfect. I know I'm a perfectionist. What consistany are you using on the

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Thank you! Your question cut off. What consistency were you asking about?

[@kathyenglish775]

I like your description of the consistency you used for "flooding"--everyone always uses the counting method but I have learned that not everyone counts the same. Great tutorial!

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Ha, that's so true! Thank you, Kathy!

[@susanmartin3173]

Beautiful🎉

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Thank you!

[@kathy223]

Loved this video! I have watched several and I have not seen one that doesn’t mark the small thin lines with a marker. I am just beginning to learn letter writing and this tip will really help me!! Thank you!

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Thank you, Kathy!!

[@andromedaletourneau5808]

While you're letting the first word dry, how do you store the icing in the bag so it doesn't dry out or get hard?

[@justmetammib]

Love this technique. Thanks for sharing. I’m struggling with writing on cookies. What font was this?

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Thanks! It's "Shine" by Billy Argel Fonts on dafont.com

[@SarahGraceCookieCo]

I’m definitely trying this! These look so good!

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Yay! Let me know how it goes!

[@JudiChristopher]

So BEAUTIFUL Thank you for sharing this video

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@denisemora3690]

Thank you so much o hope to try this. How do I get words already done with that font ?

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Hi Denise! I use dafont.com to find fonts I like, and then I type out what I need and print it on paper, and use that paper in my projector (Kopykake) to project the word onto the cookie to trace with an edible marker. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@sensationalistdecor8880]

Beautiful! Is there a dry time for the pre-flood? Thank you in advance.

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Thank you! When using edible marker, you want to make sure the base coat is fully dry (or you run the risk of the icing getting punctured). So for these, I let them dry overnight before moving on to the next step. I hope that helps!

[@gladysprentice9637]

Thank you for your video. Where do you get the letters? They are beautiful. Thank you 😮

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

I find most of my fonts on dafont.com. You can search by style - there's a font for everything there!

[@safiyahkelise1302]

hey! great video! just wondering.. what is the name of this font and where might I find it? thanks!

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Thank you, Safiyah! The font is called Shine from dafont.com

[@raznabegum85]

Beautiful ..just wow. Where can i find these font please?

Thank you! This font is from dafont.com and is called "shine". This is where I get most of the fonts I use!

[@katieisawesome50]

SOOO GOOD! Can't wait to try out your technique, been looking for a tutorial like this for a while now! Thanks!

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Yay! Let me know how it goes once you give it a try!

[@TeachPCs]

Thank you for sharing this tutorial! It was very helpful. I'm curious about the tipless bags (sold out) that you're using and share a link to in your comments. Do they have seams? Would you be able to recommend somewhere else I could find bags without seams? Thanks!

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Hi Deb! I also use the Truly Mad Plastics tipless bags and love them: bit.ly/3n9zuXn I hope that helps!

[@cynthiagoodard4023]

Is the flooding consistency you described as not settling unless you shake it only for your lettering or is this also your consistency for flooding entire cookies?

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Hi! Generally speaking, that's the consistency I flood my cookies with as well. I like a thicker flood so I usually have to coax it along with either my scribe tool or shake it a little bit. I hope that helps!

[@queencleo1151]

Thank you for your tutorial and detailed tips, however, there's something I'm not getting here... If you're tracing the letters on the paper, how do they come out on the cookie for you to outline and flood? 🤔

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Hi! When I'm using the edible marker, I'm tracing on top of the actual cookie. I use my projector (Kopykake) to project the image onto the cookie, and then I use my edible marker to trace the font on the cookie, and then I trace over the marker with icing. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@cloudywithachanceofsprinkl1998]

This is soooo helpful! Thank you!! Your cookies are amazing!

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Thanks so much! I'm so happy it's helpful!

[@kiag.8484]

Love your tutorial! Apologies if you have mentioned this before, but would you mind sharing what consistency you use for writing? That's the only consistency I seem to struggle with.

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Hi Kia! Thanks so much! I talked a little bit about what consistency I use for writing in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaLcgKWvhaqYnKc I hope that helps!

[@carinabelmontes4393]

Do you wait for the icing within the outline (the one with the outline consistency) to dry before you go in with the flood?

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Normally by the time I'm done outlining, it's crusted over enough that it's fine to go ahead and fill it in. It certainly doesn't hurt to wait longer though.. if it's barely crusted over you just have to be sure you don't disturb it. I've done that before and you can definitely mess it up if it's not fully dry!

[@carinabelmontes4393]

@@SharilynsCookieStudio Thank you for the reply!!

[@bamabev79]

Exactly what I needed! They look beautiful & so puffy! I thought I'd have to do pressure piping to get that effect. Your technique with the under-piping seems far more stable! Do you have a Pico projector you can do a video on? That would be amazing!!!

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

I'm so glad this was helpful! The projector I use is called a Kopykake, and I have this video where I show me using it a bit more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3ysmGOoqt2Xaqs

Thank you for the tutorial!

You're welcome, Veronica!

[@monicastine3515]

So pretty!! 😍...I actually free-handed some happy birthday cookies and they turned out not so bad 😂...but I think I will give this technique a try! 🤗

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Awesome! Way to go free handing them! 😂If you give this technique a try, let me know how it goes!

[@sugarbeezllc]

Beautiful work! Thank you for the video and great tutorial! What font is that? I love it!

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Thank you so much! This font is called Shine from dafont.com.

[@lovestolaugh]

@@SharilynsCookieStudio thank you for that info. I am unfamiliar with that website. Can you type phrases or words out and print them at home? I tried downloading a certain font and it said my phone doesn't have the right application to open the file. Is there an app I need to download to be able to use this website?

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

@@lovestolaugh Hi! Yes, you can type out what you need and print at home (I always use my computer, not a phone, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference). You may need to purchase if using for commercial use. Just check the one you want and it'll have the info. If you try it from a desktop, let me know if it works better!

[@sharalynnaef3272]

Beautiful! As always! Have you talked about your projector already? I am wanting to get one, but I feel overwhelmed when trying to decide which one to get. 😊

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Thanks, Sharalyn! I use a Kopykake (it's linked in the description). I love it! There's really no tech involved (which is a plus for me); the downside is that it's pretty big, so you'll need somewhere to store it when not in use. It's the only projector I've ever used though so it's hard to compare!

[@sharalynnaef3272]

@@SharilynsCookieStudio thank you. I will check it out!

[@MarthaReynoso]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Hi Martha! Of course!

[@renaissancezoe9293]

Can you pls help me? My royal icing is grainy. It’s either super runny too thick and doesn’t “melt” together on the cookie, it even lifts off cookie when I use the scribe!!!! I’m sooo discouraged.

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Hi! I'll see if I can help. First, will you let me know what royal icing recipe you're using? I can definitely try to troubleshoot if you're using my icing recipe (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWPJqHdpZbB_rq8). Let me know on that and we'll go from there!

[@Kingreaper666]

Might be a dumb question but how do you make your sugar cookie dough? 😂 I'm a horrible cook. But so badly want to try making these cookies.

[@SharilynsCookieStudio]

Hi Brittany! Not a dumb question at all! I made a video showing how I make my sugar cookies, including the recipe I use. You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6jZf519jZaZm5Y I hope that helps!

What size are those squares??

Most of my cookies are 3.5-4 inches, so somewhere in that range!
