Im a professional baker too, and I know how much work these took. Im glad you have a client base that doesnt mind paying that price for cookies, because people dont realize sometimes how much time we have in our work. I have friends that think because they are my friends, they expect the friends discount. LOL
My son is getting married next year and I am so going to try to make these , they're pretty and simple and would go well at the wedding, wish me luck 🤞
It will take awhile to get them all done but it will definitely be worth it! I bet your son will love it :)
You Got this!!
remember to ask.
goodluck !! i wish you and your son the best !!
Don't!! Do yourself a favor and don't make anything that is perishable. Try to make everything at least two weeks in advance. There are so many things that will pop up at the last minute and demand your time. You will exhaust yourself. You want to be rested and look your best as well as feel your best. You will never get that day back!! I ended up in the car taking a nap. I didn't sleep the night before the wedding. Everyone demanded my time getting dressed that I hardly had time to help my daughter get dressed. My ex-husband showed up needing a haircut so I had to cut his hair!! He even didn't shine his shoes!!! You should be done with all preparations 2 weeks before the wedding. Congratulations!!
Nice to see work from a Canadian Baker, and also Pricing. I've just done cookies (and a Baptism Cake). The Wedding cookies were a 3 1/2 inch heart. My BFF made the dough and pre-baked them for her Son and DIL's Wedding. I think we did 90 with flooding, gold sprinkle sugar along the bottom edge and their initials in the center, and just the icing took us about 10 hours. Then I did 60 Give-Away Hearts for a Baptism, Flooded with polka dots, the baby's name and baptism date, and a corner rosette with leaf. I TOTALLY understand why you only do these for F&F. Unless you've done Occasion Cakes and Cookies, people have NO CONCEPT of the person-hours involved and they just about fall over when you tell them a Custom Cookie, like these, runs between $6.50 and $8.00 PER COOKIE.
My darling, departed Mother had a well-rehearsed line for anyone who saw one of my cakes and thought they could swing a bargain...she would guickly reply: "She only does them for people she loves". Bless her !
So nice to see another fellow Canadian baker as well! Cookies are such a labour of love. Never again will I make another cookie order...haha. Happy baking my friend :)
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe I dont know how many times I have said that... But I am still baking
omg !!! this is so true. i told someone $180 for 60 cookies which is way on the cheaper side and the person laughed!!!! and then i had someone that wanted 30 difficult cookies with a budget of $40!!! like are you serious ! why dont people realize how much time and effort go into decorated cookies!?!
I love how you explain what worked, what didn’t work and why!
I've had a piping bag explode on me as well. It messes up your groove and a bit frustrating. Those cookie are simple and elegant. Your piping is beautiful and you make it look effortless!🤗
Right? It totally does!! Thank you so much 💕💕
Right?!? It's so frustrating!
Asheligh thank you for what you do! You are a blessing to many! You have life long supporting couple here in NC😊
This toot couldn’t have come at a better time as I am about to open!!! This shape and size will be my signature cookie and I was smiling to see you use the exact same size! I also use the same type of tub minus the wheels. Good to see I am on the right track. And I thought the same thing: what a labor of 💕
They look wonderful. You have strong arms. I did 50 bride dresses for a friend (home baker) and by the time I finished I was so exhausted I burst into tears. I don’t know how you pipe that fast.
When I worked in a bakery at 19 they told me I had to make 1000 sugar cookies for an event. Alone. I mixed, baked, and frosted 1000 cookies to be donated for our city's event. It was a rough day...
Im just getting into doing cookies like this and excited to try so many different things.
It’s so much fun!
Another great video! I loved seeing the projector set up, it was so interesting to see
Glad you enjoyed it!! 💕🥰
Beautiful decorated cookies you made.also the lady who made the cake did a beautiful job.
Nice trick with the projector! Started watching your vids and brings me back to when I was younger and would be hooked to baking RUclips videos❤️
Oh wow.. as an amateur baker, I've done cookies for friends and family and it would cause me to sometimes be crying on the floor from the amount of work they end up taking (I honestly forget how much work they are everytime) so definitely get the price tag haha but I've done it with love of baking and wanting to make beautiful things... But dough, cutting, baking, icing.. it's a lot!
Totally!! Cookies are no joke
Those biscuits look really great; very elegant. I don’t know if I could have that much patience ❤️
Thank you so much, Wendy :)
Wow!!! Absolutely impressive!!!
They really turned out nice. 👍❤️
When I am icing large batches of cookies I do use plastic storage boxes but I do stack. I use foam core poster boards cut to size (with a little half-moon finger hole on each end). I even usually use a board on the bottom too bc it’s flatter than the box. Place board, parchment, cookies. Place some height spacers toward the corners (small plastic condiment cups work well) and repeat layers. I find this works nicely to cycle while decorating as well bc I can stay seated with my icing set up with a bin on each side and I can even set aside different “layers” as needed.
What great tips!! Thanks for sharing, Rebecca!
Gorgeous! I've been piping for more than a year. I cannot drink my morning coffee and pipe. I keep trying!
I am relatively unaffected by the caffeine luckily!! I think it’s actually more of a mind over matter thing. I like the “idea” that I’m having coffee to keep me going 😂
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe I agree I can't work without coffee
So amazing as usual 😍 Thanks for sharing, and I appreciate seeing your projector setup. I've been wanting one for some time now. Looking forward to the next one 😊
As soon as I come up with a better setup I will be sure to share a step by step process and my recommendations 💕💕
May I ask what brand of projector it is that you don’t recommend?
Holy hell on earth. Intense af 😳 good for you. They came out great !
😂😂😂 I love this 💕
Omg! These cookies are elegant and sooo beautiful!!
Yay! You are in the GVA! I wish I had known about you two years ago when my daughter got married!
Enjoyed your video so much. Subscribed!
Thanks so much for being here 🥰💕
This is so beautiful and elegant work. But writing the letter G is the difficult part without proper method as you did . Great job. ❤
Gorgeous work!
you need to get an espresso shot added to your iced capp, its a game changer for when you need a boost of energy!
Ooooo!!! Then I could double the cookies right? 😂 as it is I’ve been trying to reign in my ice capp addiction haha
Wow so amazing......and i love when you educate us on pricing
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
When you find a projector you like definitely post about it cause although I make cookies for hobby I’ve been wanting to get a projector but am afraid to buy “the wrong one” if you get what I mean?
This couldn’t have come at a better time! I’ve got 200 to make for a wedding in early November
Oooo! Whenever I have big orders I like to turn on other baking videos while I do them to keep me motivated haha :)
Beautiful! Do you know if you used a 3.5 inch round cutter?
Hi! You have helped me so much in my cookie journey so far. Thank you so much, I am very grateful for you. Would you mind sharing how you would you price these today with inflation while still staying competitive? This seems so expensive already
I was going to make cookies like this for my wedding. Now that I’ve watched this video . . . yeah, I’ll figure out a different wedding favor for my guests. I don’t think I could do this and make them as pretty as yours!
Haha fair enough!! I’m sure you’ll come up with something just as delightful for your guests 💕💕
Hii do you do the icing the same day or a night before you have to give them the cookies ?
Question! Do you pipe the outline and then right away flood? Or do you let the outline dry then flood? Also do you use a thicker outline and then flood with thinner icing right after?
I pipe right away without letting it dry first with all the same consistency
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe I’m new to cookies. Is there a reason why sometimes people do an outline and let it dry then flood? I’m wondering if I can just always flood without letting the outline dry!
Off topic…. I love your stove!
The gas burner is a game changer!! 🥰🥰
I love how you have a clean working space..as a Baker I hv a bad time with icing
I try my best! I can’t function when it’s too messy-neither can my family 😅
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe if u could gv some tips would b ideal ..for us homebakers with kids:(
For sure!
Your backsplash is cool.
for how long are sugar cookies are good after being decorated?
They turned out so beautiful! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Ingenious ❤❤❤
This is great! Thanks for the tips.
Just wondering how far in advance can you bake your cookies when you have a bigger order? Also, how would you store them before decorating? Thanks!!
I bake them a day or two in advance. If I’m planning any longer then I just make sure to freeze them in airtight containers that seal really well
Gorgeous
I can’t make cookies😳😳 but I am the family and friend cake maker! I used to make them for friends of friends but then it got so stressful I couldn’t do it any more! It’s such a pressure to get things right so I can understand limiting who you bake for on certain things! The cookies are so beautiful!!
I was SO intimidated with the idea of cakes because I started out with sugar cookies so I know how you feel. I love making cakes just for fun, but it's definitely added pressure when you know it's needed for someone's event--even when they're friends or family! Thanks so much for watching :)
Hello! About how early can you prepare these for them to be fresh?
They look beautiful!
Hi love the videos. Do you have tips in how to learn how to sculpt cakes and figures/ careictours for cakes.
What consistency icing did you use for the border?
Hey Fellow Ashleigh! I am obsessed with channel. Definitely gained a new subscriber!
Oh I love that you spell your name the same way! So glad to have you here 💕🥰
How log in advance can you make and package your the biscuit gifts
Hi Ashleigh! Is there a trick or method to getting more of a matte look from the royal icing? Thanks in advance ☺
how much water would you say you add to the icing to get the right consistency? The icing consistency is always the bane of my existence and prevents lovely smooth cookies like the ones you've produced! Wonderful video - the cookies look great and you are a good friend!! :)
I would say around 1 cup of water and lots of whipping. That was always my mistake when I started out-didn’t whip it enough so I would end up with translucent looking icing 🥰💕
What can I do if I can't find meringue powder , any substitute?
Woooww that it’s a lot of work!!!! how is your wrist?.
Looks beautiful and elegant ✨
It’s like you knew i needed this video!!🥰🥰
🥰🥰🥰
They look beautiful
Thank you so much, Kiki!
Yeas, now I know what I am making for my daughters small wedding. These cookies. Is your sugar cookie recipe in the description? I
L go looking for it. Also how many days or months in advance can you back the cookies then freeze them. Then decorate closer to wedding date?
You could definitely get away with freezing these for a month or two!
THIS IS SOOOOO MUCH WORK!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I need loooong breaks from cookies when I make this many!! 😅
did you put the cold cookie sheet directly into the oven?
They turned out beautifully!
Thanks so much!
I switched to use your icing recipe and I LOVE it! So much easier to work with! However I still get cratering with my small spaces like the G in this video. I keep my icing thick but still just thin enough to work with if I need to manipulate it in certain areas; all in effort to try to keep it from cratering. What could I possibly be doing wrong? These are beautiful!
Hmmm are you piping in all your details? I sometimes found that when I used my pick too much to spread the icing I would develop craters.
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe Yes I pipe pretty much all of my details. It’s my small areas that crater almost every single time. It’s super frustrating! I am almost to the point of buying a dehydrator to try to dry it before it can crater. That’s the only other thing I’ve been able to think of.
Wow that looks incredibly time consuming but they look amazing!
It was--but it was worth it! Thanks so much :)
Instead of piping the outline, would it work if you dip a smaller cookie cutter in the icing and stamping on the cookie? That way you can get a perfect circular outline in a fraction of a time
It doesn’t work unfortunately though I wish that did!
Great tips! Thanks for sharing! They turned out beautiful! 😍 P.S. The largest order I’ve ever done is 200# cookies! It was a labor of love. ❤️
Wow! That's awesome. So glad you enjoyed it, Gabriel :)
Absolutely beautiful
Amazing!!!!!!!!!you are a fantastic friend!!!
Aw thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing !
Thanks for sharing. Was wondering if you had issues with exploding bags because that happens to me. Beautiful job!!
With my other piping bags I never do! I think these particular piping bags do better with buttercream
Lmao I was just stalking your page!! Love you Ashley 💙
Hehe love that!! 🥰💕
Good job. It’ looks beautiful and delicious 😍
Thank you, Betty!
❤can you tell me the projector name?
You are such a amazing Baker 👩🍳 Chef 👏👏👏👏
hi, what oven are you using?
Is it meringue powder you added to the mix
Yes it is!
Do you have to sift your sugar?
I've made this recipe and it's perfect!!
So glad it worked out for you!
Beautiful
Those cookies are so elegant and beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much!
Great job!!
That's a lot and they are very beautiful!
Thank you so much! :)
What turner did you use for your cookies. I have a cookie turner but it doesn’t turn smoothly
One of my subscribers gave it to me actually! I think she got it off of Amazon 🥰
After learning how much piping was involved, I’m sure your hand must have been aching well before you finished. And not a peep about the pain? Or do I just have weak hands?
How far in advance did you make these cookies? I'm curious to know because I'm worried about my cookies getting stale before I give them out
We've done cookie orders in the thousands where it needs to be left out for up to 5 days and I didn't notice any compromise in flavour or texture. They're a pretty resilient cookie! If you're worried though you can always make them and once they're fully decorated and dried you can freeze them without worry as well.
Ashleigh please tell me how to freeze the cookies once they’re done and decorated. I’m planning to make 300 fondant topped wedding cookies for my daughters wedding
Love your oven!
Me too! Thank you!
The icing sugar is confectioners sugar right?
Yes 🥰
They turned out beautiful 😍
Thank you, Lisa!
My mom wants to do cookies just like yours for my brother’s wedding! Where did you purchase the projector and what font did you use for the G? Thank you so much.
Would a fondant G have been easier/faster?
Definitely, but a lot of people dislike the taste of fondant on cookies unfortunately!
So beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
Hi! I used to make over 150 sugar cookies like yous with more than 5 different models like minions, bubbling cauldrons, 3d designs hours and hours for bake sales at my son school and we only charge $1 maximum in Montreal. . If this year we are aloud to do bake sales again I will charge $3
Great tips and the cookies look amazing!!
Thanks so much, Karen! 💕🥰
Great job! Beautiful work!
Thanks so much, Viki! 💕
I am not sure if you have done a Friday fails cookie video, but if not that might be helpful. Perhaps one on what to do after making cookies, how to store, how to pack etc. Can't find any good videos on yt like that. I am so afraid of them becoming soft while standing out bec it has happened to me before
I think I've done something like that (sometimes it gets tricky to remember which video subject areas I've covered haha). So the way that I prevent them from getting too soft after thawing is to place a piece of paper towel into the container as they thaw. It helps absorb things a little bit and if you're really worried, you can also place them in the oven at 175 degrees F for about 10 minutes, take them out and let them rest and they'll be in the same condition as when you first originally decorated them!
Just a question.. Did you send those in boxes without putting them in celephane wrappers?..will they not go stale or soggy as they are not sealed?
These particular cookies were getting packaged up fairly soon after I gave them to my friend. However, when I ran a cookie business, individual packaging was an added cost and was a choice for the customer. I find my cookies do pretty well left unsealed. I did an experiment where I left it completely uncovered for 5 days and still wasn’t able to detect a difference.
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe Thank you. I think I should do the same and experiment now that the weather has changed again. Thank you for your tips and trick's.. They are very helpful🤗
You are amazing......
Proudly Canadian eh lol 😆 ❤🍁💋
Excellent video thanks
You’re welcome! 🥰💕
Hello. I am new to making these cookies. What size piping bags do you use for the Royal icing?
For cookies I like to use a regular sized piping bag (not jumbo or extra small). I also prefer tipless if I’m not doing anything that requires a specific piped texture
Would you mind to tell me what you would price an order of 150 Christmas cookies?
So glad you used your new cookie stand, I hope it made that alot faster for you on that order. And sorry that bag busted.... Oops 😬... But of course the cookies were fabulous.... 💜💜 Them....
Oh it surely did speed things up! Especially for that border portion. All good about the bags-I think I just overfilled and squeezed too hard 😂😂
It was nice to see you working on the video again.... Missed ya.. but I am working on some of your tips.. thanks a million...
Omg not long ago I made 120 butterfly cookies it had 2 color with gold and they where individually wrapped and I charged $480 I so under charged for the cookies and it took a long time to pipe and decorate, I need to get better on changing 😫
Been there, my friend. The more experiences you have like that--the better you get at charging properly!! :)
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe yea that’s true
Hey Ashley. Love the video!! Yourgreat as always
Thanks so much, Jemi!
