@@LittleCookieCo Thank you so much! Yes, I have the Mr & Mrs.Cutter, but have not attempted to use it yet. After watching your video, I'll give it a try now! Thanks, again.
Actually i want to start my sugar cookies business here, and need more guidelines for about these cookies ,for example how to store for long etc, i ll be thankful to you if you made any video on this please share
I enjoy videos like this, but often when I see just a few thumbs down I wonder if it is people's little kids accidentally doing it. I have let my kids watch videos on my phone (and yes they do like decorating tutorials, because sweets!) and more than once I have noticed they did a thumbs up or down just messing with the screen. I have even accidentally done it (once while falling asleep watching 😆), and then fixed it when I noticed. I know people are grumpy too, but just thought I would add that it may be random user error. Because who would actually dislike this?! 😉😄 Like everyone said, great work!
I’ve been decorating cookies for 3 years. Lettering is hands down the most difficult thing to master. This is a great tutorial, I think people are giving it a thumbs down because they probably thought it would be lettering without a projector...something most people can’t do. If people are looking to letter on cookies without a projector, you can air brush the words using a stencil and trace that with icing. The thing I’ve learned about lettering is that it’s easily learned but difficult to master..it boils down to practice practice practice...it’s muscle memory.
I didn't give it a thumbs down but when I came here to learn ...I came to learn how not to make them all lumpy like I keep seeing in my beginners groups. But I saw that hers were lumpy too so I was about to leave and then I saw a comment that caught my eye. So here I am lol I just thought someone teaching would know how to make the letters not all lumpy. I'm gonna watch her video now to see...maybe she is comparing them to the right way but the initial pic shows lumpy bubble lettering.
It takes practice and the right consistency. Sometimes when I'm filming there is so much going on to make sure that I have the right angle or focus and I can't decorate the cookies like I do when I'm not filming. So sometimes it starts settling or drying before I can finish. It's not always perfect but it teaches you how to do it. You can see if you look at my instagram there is much better work there but sometimes while filming there are other factors that make it not so perfect. That being said, nothing wrong with it, there's always room for improvement.
@@LittleCookieCo I totally understand and your tutorial is great but honestly had I not glanced at this post I would have left before even giving it a chance...only because the problem I'm trying to solve is NOT having lumpy letters. I'm saying this very respectfully...I know it's hard to know the tone of someone's comments...your tutorial is too good to have the lumpy letters as the first thing people see. I say this with total love and support ❤
Thank you!! And I get it. As cookiers we have very specific problems we need to solve, I've been there too. For me when I have lumpy letters its because my flood was too thick and I couldn't jiggle it enough to smoothe it out. If you have this issue it's best to do one letter at a time and jiggle it with a scribe to smoothe it out before it starts drying. Or you can thin your icing down a touch which will make it smoother. It's a fine line between making it too loose and risk craters or too thick and and having it lumpy but you find the perfect consistency with practice and trial and error. Also, the more flood you fill the letter with the easier I find it is to smoothe out. But that's raise with bigger letters, sometimes with really small ones you can't overfill too much. Hopefully that helps and when I make another lettering tutorial I'll keep your comment in mind 🥰 best of luck!!
I just got my pico projector in the mail today and did some practicing. I'm so glad you mentioned that on Instagram, the videos are sped up because when I was practicing I had to keep reminding myself that we rarely see these videos done in real-time and me moving painfully slow was normal. I found my biggest challenge was making sure that my icing was the right consistency. Nonetheless, thanks for the tutorial! I found it super helpful!
Yay!! A projector is my best tool! I use it for a lot of things and not just writing. It helps so much with making all your cookies look uniform. And yes, its hard to remember but go slow so you have more control, no one can decorate cookies that fast in real life haha. And yes consistency comes with practice and you find what works best for you! Glad you found it helpful 😊
I don't like to share my projector because its a terrible one! I don't want people to buy it just because I use. It gives me so many problems (and I've heard the same from other cookiers). I've heard good things about the following projectors from other cookiers though if you need a recommendation. www.amazon.com/PTVDISPLAY-Portable-Projector-Projectors-Bluetooth/dp/B075CVRJPK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ptvdisplay%2Bportable%2Bmini%2Bprojector&qid=1602717309&sprefix=ptvdispla&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1 www.amazon.com/dp/B07HNX276T/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07HNX276T&pd_rd_w=nqMjp&pf_rd_p=314dc82c-95a3-40be-8fca-60eca231e2ca&pd_rd_wg=uzkSt&pf_rd_r=S57FB0FBYPT6W3QDMQ1Q&pd_rd_r=219d2c68-2142-46ac-8282-cdd4b75aece3&smid=A15W14ZP5JJQK5&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE4UUxBT08wSEVFSlQmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAyMjgyOTgzNjFWRzZaVktIREMzJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA5MTMzMjQyQ043TDg0SUJHSkdDJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfZGV0YWlsX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
This video has been one I keep coming back to! So so so incredibly helpful. And I love that you show angled close ups, my cookies aren’t perfect yet but they look similar to your Mr & Mrs one and it’s made me feel a lot more confident knowing such a professional still has tiny little imperfections! Yours are “perfect” in my eyes and I’m sure your clients too
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰 this is why I make these videos. I feel as cookiers we constantly compare ourselves and we see the most amazing cookies all day every day. But we forget that most people don't and they're happy with our talents (and mine are far from perfect) but people still enjoy them. There's days they look better and days where things just don't go right but it's realizing what's worth fussing over and what's worth letting go cause in the grand scheme of things no one will notice those imperfectios I assure you. Wishing you the best in your cookie journey 🥰
I don't have a projector so my hopes of writing or decorating a cookie have been dashed but oh what a joy to watch the amazing job you did on these cookies. So totally lovely!
Thank you! There is an app called DaVinci eye or artists eye, it was free when I used to use it (one is android the other apple) and it lets you super impose the words on your camera, so you basically put your phone camera on the cookie and look at the screen to see the letters. Its not perfect but I used to write like that when I didn't have a projector. First I'd write with an edible marker, then pipe over it. Give it a try!
Its an aaxa pico projector, however I don't necessarily recommend it as i do have issues with mine. I've heard good things about the PTV Display mini and the AKASO, but I haven't used them personally.
Hi I think your videos are superb. I've been doing cookies for a few months and still have consistency challenges. You are showing a lot about that and it helps!!!
Thank you so much!! It takes a lot of practice feeling what consistency you are comfortable with but sometimes it helps to have some visuals too! Glad to help!
You're very welcome! Social media is really deceitful because it never shows you in real time, and most people think it has to be done that fast, and that makes it a lot harder to write well!
I don't know if you will ever have time to read all the positive comments on your tutorial but I was fascinated. I have only been doing cookies for 3-4 months now and I am 76. But you make it look so easy. Yet, you practice. Thank God! Now I don't feel so bad.
Never feel bad, social media gives us such a false view of things, but I definitely practice and do it until I feel good about it and then do it a couple times more!
I get them from all different places, sometimes from Microsoft word, dafont.com, myfont.com, 1001freefronts.com, fontspace.com or from invitations and things like that! The Mr. & Mrs. came with the cutter from Bobbi's cutters. I don't remember the exact fonts as I don't have them saved.
I love that i found this page, Im just starting to get orders and make a business, so thank you for taking your time to make these videos, its very helpful
Thank you so much! This was so helpful! I'm trying to learn how to decorate and bake cookies (which I've never done in my life until now!😲) And I've got 4 days to do this! I bought a stand mixer and all the supplies, so we shall see how it goes! I'm doing this for my oldest daughter's friend who couldn't find a baker to bake her cookies for her gender reveal. "Oh that looks easy, I can do that for you honey!" I say, and then I try my first cookie and the icing was so thin it just fell off of it.🤦🏼♀️😆 Thanks again!
You're welcome! And don't worry we all did the same thing. We all thought it looked so easy until we tried. They take a little practice to get the hang of, but you'll make amazing cookies I'm sure!!
Thank you for doing this in real time, your right, when you see the video’s that are sped up, its deceptive and also makes it much harder to see the true technique that is required. I’ve been decorating cookies for a few years now as a small business, and it actually shows the length of time it takes to actually decorate. Much thanks for keeping it real, and informative, your amazing.
Thank you! I too forget sometimes that everything is sped up on social media and think maybe I'm just too slow or not that good, but its nice to see real time to remind ourselves that cookie decorating really takes that long!!
I'm so glad I came across this video!! I always struggle with consistency but you've just given me the tip I was needing!! Used it today and things turned out so good!
You teaching style is wonderful. You explain everything super well and give clear examples. Please do more if you have the time. I wi share your channel everywhere I can and I'm sure many others will too. You deserve to be popular.
Thank you so much, its very kind of you. I try my best! I remember it being a struggle in the beginning and so hopefully my videos will make it easier for some ❤
This video saved my life! You are definitely one of my favs to follow. I'm getting my cookie business going and your videos are always so helpful! Thank you!!!
So glad you enjoy the videos! This is the one I use, however I know there are newer and better ones out there (mainly cordless which is a bonus). I've heard good things about the akaso projector which you can search on amazon. But here is the one I currently use www.amazon.ca/AAXA-Technologies-KP-101-01-Projector-built/dp/B005TAXDPK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=aaxa+pico+projector&qid=1600361187&sprefix=aaxa&sr=8-3
I have an android so I am not much help and it took me a while to get it working. But there is some kind of cable you need to buy I believe. There are some Facebook groups for cookiers and I know there have been lots of people with the same problem that have gotten help there. One group is called anything goes cookies, I'm sure someone would be able to help you or you can search as well for the posts!
Oh my God… wow that’s some hard work and very time consuming. I will happily pay for a professional to do this for me. But really thumbs up for the professionals who loves to do this. I find them beautiful, wanted to learn and I sure I can do it. Congrats, beautiful work and love the explanation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much! It is a lot of work and very time consuming, but if you enjoy it , it can be very therapeutic sometimes and relaxing too! There are days where I love it and days where I'm just not into it because I don't have the time hehe.
No, it's just a regular projector but when I bought it most cookiers were using this one. I've linked it below, but you can really use any small projector. This one is a bit dated now. I've heard good things about the akaso one as well. www.amazon.ca/AAXA-Technologies-KP-101-01-Projector-built/dp/B005TAXDPK/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=aaxa+pico+projector&qid=1601092511&sprefix=aaxa+&sr=8-5
Thank you! The "one" I don't remember i think it may have been a google image search of "one" but not sure. The "cheers" is similar if not the same as Baskerville Old Face font from Microsoft Word!
Thanks! I use an aaxa pico but it has lots of issues. I heard this one was good www.amazon.com/PTVDISPLAY-Portable-Projector-Projectors-Bluetooth/dp/B075CVRJPK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ptvdisplay%2Bportable%2Bmini%2Bprojector&qid=1602717309&sprefix=ptvdispla&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1
I know! They're not cheap. I'm in Canada so they're even more expensive than for people in the US. There are probably cheaper options too, I just don't know much about projectors to know which are good. However, if you're running a cookie business, it is such a good investment, it really helps a ton!
@@LittleCookieCo I’m in New Zealand so our dollar against the USD is even worse! I don’t have a business just a newbie at cookie decorating and doing them as gifts for friends and family
I started without one, I only bought it once I made enough in sales!! There are ways around it though not as good. You can download an app called DaVinci eye or artists eye (one is for Apple the other for Android, although the Android version never worked great for me) and it super imposes the image on your camera screen, so you look at your cookie through your phone and can trace the image on your screen. Its hard to describe but it gets the job done. Or you can look up the camera lucid app as well which is similar. And I also have a tutorial on how to copy things onto a cookie without a projector. I've also used this method a lot of times and its easy ruclips.net/video/jUtNr51v_Ys/видео.html
Wow! Your explanation is spot on! Thank you! I hope to dive into the cookie world very soon. If I enjoy, I’ll invest in a projector. I feel like it might be necessary right from the start, but it also seems to be a pretty big investment 😜
Thank you!! You don't necessarily need a projector, however it does help a lot. But I didn't have one and found other ways to trace onto my cookies. There is an app I used years (not sure if its still a thing) DaVinci eye or artists eye (one for Android one for apple) and you super impose the picture on your camera and you draw on the cookie as you at your phone through the camera. Hard to explain but I did a lot using that. I've also done this method a lot in the beginning too which I have a video on: ruclips.net/video/kDF_DrNRRVA/видео.html

I'll link mine but it is complicated to set up as well. I needed to buy a google chromecast and another chord to connect it to my phone. And not sure I'd even know how to set it up again. Sometimes it freezes or disconnects on me which is really frustrating when I'm mid cookie. If I was still doing orders I'd spring for a better one but right now I'm just doing it for RUclips and for fun so I can deal with it. www.amazon.ca/AAXA-Technologies-KP-101-01-Projector-built/dp/B005TAXDPK/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=aaxa+pico+projector&qid=1601092511&sprefix=aaxa+&sr=8-5
@@joycedidonato7210 the second one linked is the one I recently purchased to replace the same pico she has. The pico has too many issues and I bought the recent one after seeing some cookies in the reviews. It’s way better so far! Hope this helps!
Can you please let me know how you setup the projector when you’re doing the cookie. I really want to learn you techniques. It harder for me to write on cookies. I love Your method to practice. You are a really good teacher
What a great tutorial and while I may not get a projector, I thought the use of that was absolutely brilliant. N thanks for sharing your amazing talent and skills.
I took my first cookie decorating class a couple of days ago and have enjoyed watching your videos. Thank you so much for all your great tips. I love watching you decorate. Do you have to buy two different bags for the piping and the flooding when you decorate cookies? I noticed two different bags in your description.
Thanks so much of watching! And no, I use the same bags for my outline and my flood icing. I just have a couple of options of bags as I've used both and sometimes when I can't get one I'll get the other. And also, just to give people more than one option!
So glad it helped!!! This is my icing recipe, if your writing then don't add too much water. Just enough to get it all to come together. Most of the time your looking to get a soft peak for writing so if you lift your spoon up, the icing peak is up but curls a little bit. Right before I write on the cookies in this video, I show the consistency. ruclips.net/video/L5mVKZnTqac/видео.html
Amazing video .. very details. I occasionally make cookies for friends and family.. all your tips are synced with mine .. just wished I had found your videos sooner .. would had saved me times😀❤️❤️.
Thanks for your very detailed videos. I notice you write the message on parchment and put it under the cookie. You then use a light projector so you can see the message highlighted on the cookie. Can you tell me which projector you use. Many thanks. Xx 💕💕
You're welcome! I usually make sure I have the right size, so I'll shine it on my cookie and then I'll practice with that size on parchment paper. Then when I'm ready I'll shine it on my cookie and then pipe for real. I've recently upgraded my projector to this one here ruclips.net/video/Cix3XOYJhG8/видео.html
Followed your tutorial and I was amazed at the results. The hardest part was getting my Cricut to cut the stencil right but once I had it, adding the letters to the cookies was a breeze!!
Lady you’re good. I’ve practiced & practiced over the years. I’m not too bad but not this good. I will try the other hand to steady writing. I can’t get grip w same thickness for each letter.
Aww thank you so much! You have to find what works best for you and go with it! If you feel comfortable doing it a certain way and it gets you better results then stick with that! I never know if it's the right way but I try to make it work as best I can! And hopefully it will help you too 🥰 best of luck!!
Thank you! This is what holds my projector www.amazon.com/LimoStudio-Camera-Weight-Tripod-AGG1184/dp/B00F8OSR8K/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=limostudio+17%22+mini+tripod+table+top&qid=1619940988&sprefix=limostudio+17&sr=8-4
Just showing different ways and techniques. Sometimes people don't like the look of pressure piping as it's not always super smoothe. And when I have very thin lines I like to use the outline and fill method because if I use the same bag for pressure piping as the thin lines sometimes they end up too thick. It's all personal preference
You have small piping bags. Where do you get them? Do you use a thicker consistency for outlining and then thinner for flooding? Do you save and reuse your leftover icing? Do you use meringue powder or egg whites? Lots of questions
I actually buy the big bags and cut them down after I tie them! That way they don't get in the way if I'm filming, and now I'm used to doing that. I find its cheaper just to buy 1 size instead of buying big and small bags. I use 2 consistencies (I am working on a video for that) but in my royal icing video at the end I show how I make the consistencies. And yes, I always freeze leftover icing and I use meringue powder for my icing 😊 I have tons of info on my channel and have a bunch more tips coming soon 🥰 this is the video for my royal icing which shows the consistencies at the end ruclips.net/video/L5mVKZnTqac/видео.html
I try to face the seam down in the middle towards the cookie. Sometimes the seam creates a line when your piping so I try to always face it down to hide it.

Thank you so much!! You must watch this one if you enjoyed the leaves, I go a bit further in depth at the end of the video on them 😊 m.ruclips.net/video/vjv6-sNfvv4/видео.html
Hi, thanks for an amazing tutorial, I learnt so so much. Would you mind answering a question for me, do you need to wait for the base icing that you flooded the cookie with to be completely dry before piping letters on? Or just crusted over, say an hour or so after flooding...specifically to prevent cratering in the letters. Thanks for your time.
Thank you! And I always try to pipe the next layer when the first layer is just crusted over. When the bottom layer is fully dry, you have a bigger chance of getting craters so I try to do the next later as soon as I can, especially if I know there my be small areas that might crater!
I use an aaxa pico, however I have tons of issues with it so I don't recommend it. I'll link one below that I've heard good things about. To find fonts, you can get them from 1001fonts.com, fontspace.com, dafont.com Microsoft Word, invitations, Google etc. www.amazon.com/PTVDISPLAY-Portable-Projector-Projectors-Bluetooth/dp/B075CVRJPK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ptvdisplay%2Bportable%2Bmini%2Bprojector&qid=1602717309&sprefix=ptvdispla&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1
@@LittleCookieCo thank you for being so honest on your review. I am so grateful for all the knowledge you share with us and am happy to say my very first time decorating cookies got rave reviews from my neighbors! I wouldn’t have had the confidence to even attempt this without your help. I do have another question tho. When piping my outline, I had a hard time at the end...I kept getting a spike/lift. It stood up and almost resembled a Hershey’s Kiss. HELP
I'm so happy to know you gave them a try!! And sounds like they were a success!! Ans with every cookie you do, you'll improve a tiny bit and before you know it you'll be a pro! That little peak happens to me sometimes too when it does, I use my scribe to push it down or when you finish piping, just before you get to the end you let go of the pressure on the bag and try touching down and then move the piping bag a touch along the line as you lift up. This will make that little peak spread out a bit instead of stand straight up. But the scribe is the easiest and happens to me too sometimes!
Thank you so much! If you make a mistake you'd have to scrape it off quickly before it starts drying. If the colour is dark it may leave a mark though! I make extras normally just in case!
Thanks! My projector isn't very good it has a lot of problems but this one has had really good reviews from cookiers.

Great Tutorial. I am really enjoying your instruction. I teach cake decorating, (cookie, candy. . . ) and I too always tell students that I practice Icing consistency on a board every time - no matter how many times I have done something. It is great to hear the affirmation. I don't do too many things for sale, as I love teaching and I am always looking to learn. . . I love your videos. For some reason, maybe because I have been doing cakes for so long I am excited about going back to cookies for a while. . .your videos have truly been inspirational. I am interested in the projector segment. . . been looking at if for a while. Will look at several options, again since I don't really "Sell" more of a hobby then friends or friends of friends may order then I challenge myself. Thank you again for such great instructions.
I love making cakes too but I make them only for special occasions once in a while. I feel like cookies are fun in a different way. A projector helps a lot especially if you start doing cookies often. I use it for everything not just writing so it comes in handy a lot!
Hi!, I'm also starting a sugar cookie business, and was looking for a good projector to use for lettering and such, just wondering where you got yours and maybe which ones you recommend!!! Thank you so much, and I love the tutorial! also saw in your intro that you had a beautiful and bold gold dust!! Wondering where you got that also...... Thanks!

Love your content! 😍 I do have a question, What camera do you use for your videos? I would love to start a channel but I’m unsure what camera would be great!? Thank you!
Wonderful video. Could you name the fonts you use? Thanks.
Hi! I don't remember the exact fonts of all of them, but here are some similar ones if not the same:
One - Autery, dafont.com
Cheers - Baskerville Old Face, Microsoft Word
Congrats - Flanella, Auto Signature, High Summit all from Dafont.com
Happy - Calibri, Microsoft Word
Birthday - Autery, dafont.com
Mr. & Mrs. - the font comes with the cutters, search Bobbi's Cutters on instagram or Etsy
@@LittleCookieCo Thank you so much! Yes, I have the Mr & Mrs.Cutter, but have not attempted to use it yet. After watching your video, I'll give it a try now! Thanks, again.
Yay! I love her cutters, my absolute favorite word cutters 🥰
Sorry,i want to ask ,do you have any Facebook page or group,
Actually i want to start my sugar cookies business here, and need more guidelines for about these cookies ,for example how to store for long etc, i ll be thankful to you if you made any video on this please share
Whoever gave the thumbs down, gets a thumbs down. This girl did an amazing job with these thorough explanations 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much ❤❤
Thank you so much!! ❤
I enjoy videos like this, but often when I see just a few thumbs down I wonder if it is people's little kids accidentally doing it. I have let my kids watch videos on my phone (and yes they do like decorating tutorials, because sweets!) and more than once I have noticed they did a thumbs up or down just messing with the screen. I have even accidentally done it (once while falling asleep watching 😆), and then fixed it when I noticed. I know people are grumpy too, but just thought I would add that it may be random user error. Because who would actually dislike this?! 😉😄
Like everyone said, great work!
🤣🤣 I think we've all pushed something accidentally!!
@@marieparker5576 i agree😉
I’ve been decorating cookies for 3 years. Lettering is hands down the most difficult thing to master. This is a great tutorial, I think people are giving it a thumbs down because they probably thought it would be lettering without a projector...something most people can’t do.
If people are looking to letter on cookies without a projector, you can air brush the words using a stencil and trace that with icing. The thing I’ve learned about lettering is that it’s easily learned but difficult to master..it boils down to practice practice practice...it’s muscle memory.
Thank you, and yes, it definitely takes a lot.of practice!
I didn't give it a thumbs down but when I came here to learn ...I came to learn how not to make them all lumpy like I keep seeing in my beginners groups. But I saw that hers were lumpy too so I was about to leave and then I saw a comment that caught my eye. So here I am lol I just thought someone teaching would know how to make the letters not all lumpy. I'm gonna watch her video now to see...maybe she is comparing them to the right way but the initial pic shows lumpy bubble lettering.
It takes practice and the right consistency. Sometimes when I'm filming there is so much going on to make sure that I have the right angle or focus and I can't decorate the cookies like I do when I'm not filming. So sometimes it starts settling or drying before I can finish. It's not always perfect but it teaches you how to do it. You can see if you look at my instagram there is much better work there but sometimes while filming there are other factors that make it not so perfect. That being said, nothing wrong with it, there's always room for improvement.
@@LittleCookieCo I totally understand and your tutorial is great but honestly had I not glanced at this post I would have left before even giving it a chance...only because the problem I'm trying to solve is NOT having lumpy letters. I'm saying this very respectfully...I know it's hard to know the tone of someone's comments...your tutorial is too good to have the lumpy letters as the first thing people see. I say this with total love and support ❤
Thank you!! And I get it. As cookiers we have very specific problems we need to solve, I've been there too. For me when I have lumpy letters its because my flood was too thick and I couldn't jiggle it enough to smoothe it out. If you have this issue it's best to do one letter at a time and jiggle it with a scribe to smoothe it out before it starts drying. Or you can thin your icing down a touch which will make it smoother. It's a fine line between making it too loose and risk craters or too thick and and having it lumpy but you find the perfect consistency with practice and trial and error. Also, the more flood you fill the letter with the easier I find it is to smoothe out. But that's raise with bigger letters, sometimes with really small ones you can't overfill too much. Hopefully that helps and when I make another lettering tutorial I'll keep your comment in mind 🥰 best of luck!!
I am a retired teacher of 30 years. Kudos to you for a concise, easy to understand explanation. Wonderful job!
Thank you so much, that means a lot coming from 🥰🥰
I love how you take the time to like and reply to all the comments! Your AMAZING!!!
Aww thanks!!! 🥰 I'm grateful for ever view and every comment and so I try to reply as much as I can ❤
@@LittleCookieCo I agree with Zahra Naqvi absolutely true and
yes you are amazing
Thank you so much!!
THIS IS THE BEST!!! Lettering is one of the hardest things that I have yet to achieve. This video is very on spot! Thank you bunches!
Thank you so much!
I just got my pico projector in the mail today and did some practicing. I'm so glad you mentioned that on Instagram, the videos are sped up because when I was practicing I had to keep reminding myself that we rarely see these videos done in real-time and me moving painfully slow was normal. I found my biggest challenge was making sure that my icing was the right consistency. Nonetheless, thanks for the tutorial! I found it super helpful!
Yay!! A projector is my best tool! I use it for a lot of things and not just writing. It helps so much with making all your cookies look uniform. And yes, its hard to remember but go slow so you have more control, no one can decorate cookies that fast in real life haha. And yes consistency comes with practice and you find what works best for you! Glad you found it helpful 😊
Can you provide a link to which projector to use?
I don't like to share my projector because its a terrible one! I don't want people to buy it just because I use. It gives me so many problems (and I've heard the same from other cookiers). I've heard good things about the following projectors from other cookiers though if you need a recommendation.

The fact that you don't need a piping tip is amazing! Will try this! Thank you!
It's so much better, less clean up and you can make the tip any size that works for you!!
These were so beautiful! I’m an absolute beginner, only ever decorated a cookie with a knife, but I couldn’t resist watching this! You’re so skilled!
Aww thank you so much! Always helps to have the right tools and a lot of practice, I'd be nothing without those hehe 😊❤
This video has been one I keep coming back to! So so so incredibly helpful. And I love that you show angled close ups, my cookies aren’t perfect yet but they look similar to your Mr & Mrs one and it’s made me feel a lot more confident knowing such a professional still has tiny little imperfections! Yours are “perfect” in my eyes and I’m sure your clients too
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰 this is why I make these videos. I feel as cookiers we constantly compare ourselves and we see the most amazing cookies all day every day. But we forget that most people don't and they're happy with our talents (and mine are far from perfect) but people still enjoy them. There's days they look better and days where things just don't go right but it's realizing what's worth fussing over and what's worth letting go cause in the grand scheme of things no one will notice those imperfectios I assure you. Wishing you the best in your cookie journey 🥰
I kid you not …. you have the best tutorials on youtube. You are the best!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
I don't have a projector so my hopes of writing or decorating a cookie have been dashed but oh what a joy to watch the amazing job you did on these cookies. So totally lovely!
Thank you! There is an app called DaVinci eye or artists eye, it was free when I used to use it (one is android the other apple) and it lets you super impose the words on your camera, so you basically put your phone camera on the cookie and look at the screen to see the letters. Its not perfect but I used to write like that when I didn't have a projector. First I'd write with an edible marker, then pipe over it. Give it a try!
@@LittleCookieCo What kind of projector is it
Its an aaxa pico projector, however I don't necessarily recommend it as i do have issues with mine. I've heard good things about the PTV Display mini and the AKASO, but I haven't used them personally.
This is probably the most beneficial video I've watched on RUclips.
Thank you so much ♥️♥️
For projector recommendations please see the description below the video for links!
Wow, how beautiful you teach, how delicate and careful I never imagined I could learn a thousand thanks, God continue blessing you ♥️

Thank you so much, that really means a lot!
Thank you for sharing and explaining when you are decorating the cookies. I love your videos, I wish there were more people like you. Good luck

Hi I think your videos are superb. I've been doing cookies for a few months and still have consistency challenges. You are showing a lot about that and it helps!!!
Thank you so much!! It takes a lot of practice feeling what consistency you are comfortable with but sometimes it helps to have some visuals too! Glad to help!
Thank you very much - your tutorial was very helpful! I appreciate that it was in real time rather than sped up. Much easier to see the technique.
You're very welcome! Social media is really deceitful because it never shows you in real time, and most people think it has to be done that fast, and that makes it a lot harder to write well!
Anyone who can do this impresses me. Decorating is not my strong point. This video is super helpful though!
I don't know if you will ever have time to read all the positive comments on your tutorial but I was fascinated. I have only been doing cookies for 3-4 months now and I am 76. But you make it look so easy. Yet, you practice. Thank God! Now I don't feel so bad.
Never feel bad, social media gives us such a false view of things, but I definitely practice and do it until I feel good about it and then do it a couple times more!
@LittleCookieCo thanks so very much for responding and the wonderful words of confidence. God bless you.
Thank you and God Bless as well 🥰
Thank you for this tutorial! Great explanation of icing consistency and timing. Would you please share the names of the fonts you used?
I get them from all different places, sometimes from Microsoft word, dafont.com, myfont.com, 1001freefronts.com, fontspace.com or from invitations and things like that! The Mr. & Mrs. came with the cutter from Bobbi's cutters. I don't remember the exact fonts as I don't have them saved.

Thank you so much! This was so helpful! I'm trying to learn how to decorate and bake cookies (which I've never done in my life until now!😲) And I've got 4 days to do this! I bought a stand mixer and all the supplies, so we shall see how it goes! I'm doing this for my oldest daughter's friend who couldn't find a baker to bake her cookies for her gender reveal. "Oh that looks easy, I can do that for you honey!" I say, and then I try my first cookie and the icing was so thin it just fell off of it.🤦🏼♀️😆 Thanks again!
You're welcome! And don't worry we all did the same thing. We all thought it looked so easy until we tried. They take a little practice to get the hang of, but you'll make amazing cookies I'm sure!!

Thank you for doing this in real time, your right, when you see the video’s that are sped up, its deceptive and also makes it much harder to see the true technique that is required. I’ve been decorating cookies for a few years now as a small business, and it actually shows the length of time it takes to actually decorate. Much thanks for keeping it real, and informative, your amazing.
Thank you! I too forget sometimes that everything is sped up on social media and think maybe I'm just too slow or not that good, but its nice to see real time to remind ourselves that cookie decorating really takes that long!!
You did a great job of explaining everything that you did. Beautiful work!😄
Thank you so much ❤❤
I'm so glad I came across this video!! I always struggle with consistency but you've just given me the tip I was needing!! Used it today and things turned out so good!

Is this projector specific for cookies? Where can I purchase it? Great video. New Subscriber
No, it's just a regular projector but when I bought it most cookiers were using this one. I've linked it below, but you can really use any small projector. This one is a bit dated now. I've heard good things about the akaso one as well.

@@LittleCookieCo I saw the price and almost fainted!
I know! They're not cheap. I'm in Canada so they're even more expensive than for people in the US. There are probably cheaper options too, I just don't know much about projectors to know which are good. However, if you're running a cookie business, it is such a good investment, it really helps a ton!
@@LittleCookieCo I’m in New Zealand so our dollar against the USD is even worse! I don’t have a business just a newbie at cookie decorating and doing them as gifts for friends and family
I started without one, I only bought it once I made enough in sales!! There are ways around it though not as good. You can download an app called DaVinci eye or artists eye (one is for Apple the other for Android, although the Android version never worked great for me) and it super imposes the image on your camera screen, so you look at your cookie through your phone and can trace the image on your screen. Its hard to describe but it gets the job done. Or you can look up the camera lucid app as well which is similar. And I also have a tutorial on how to copy things onto a cookie without a projector. I've also used this method a lot of times and its easy
ruclips.net/video/jUtNr51v_Ys/видео.html
Wow! Your explanation is spot on! Thank you! I hope to dive into the cookie world very soon. If I enjoy, I’ll invest in a projector. I feel like it might be necessary right from the start, but it also seems to be a pretty big investment 😜
Thank you!! You don't necessarily need a projector, however it does help a lot. But I didn't have one and found other ways to trace onto my cookies. There is an app I used years (not sure if its still a thing) DaVinci eye or artists eye (one for Android one for apple) and you super impose the picture on your camera and you draw on the cookie as you at your phone through the camera. Hard to explain but I did a lot using that. I've also done this method a lot in the beginning too which I have a video on:

@@LittleCookieCo The projectors on the links look confusing! Yours looks as though it's so easy. :(
I'll link mine but it is complicated to set up as well. I needed to buy a google chromecast and another chord to connect it to my phone. And not sure I'd even know how to set it up again. Sometimes it freezes or disconnects on me which is really frustrating when I'm mid cookie. If I was still doing orders I'd spring for a better one but right now I'm just doing it for RUclips and for fun so I can deal with it.

@@joycedidonato7210 the second one linked is the one I recently purchased to replace the same pico she has. The pico has too many issues and I bought the recent one after seeing some cookies in the reviews. It’s way better so far! Hope this helps!
So good to know this thank you!!
What an amazing tutorial. Sugarcookies are a labour of love
Thank you! And yes they sure are!
This is great! Do you hold your breath the whole time like I do? LOL
🤣🤣🤣 yessss!!!! All the time!!!
Can you please let me know how you setup the projector when you’re doing the cookie. I really want to learn you techniques. It harder for me to write on cookies. I love Your method to practice.
You are a really good teacher
Thank you so much! I plan on doing a tutorial one day, however the projector I use is not very good so I want to wait until I get a new one!
@@LittleCookieCo Thank you. I cannot wait for that. However thanks again for your reply
The one I use is so complicated to set up as well haha. But I hear the new ones are wireless so hoping it will be much better and easier to teach ❤
Wow! This tutorial is just what I needed to see! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you 🥰
Excellent video! I’m just starting to write on my cookies and it is hard! You are always very encouraging! Thank you!
Thank you! It will get better every time so keep at it! Before you know it, you'll be a pro!
😮 love to watch the steady hand.
I struggle with writing on cookies and this was SO helpful! Thank you so much for this!
I'm so happy it helped!! Keep practicing and it will be so much easier ♥️♥️
What a great tutorial and while I may not get a projector, I thought the use of that was absolutely brilliant. N thanks for sharing your amazing talent and skills.
Thank you so much ❤❤
Please share the food coloring you use! Or show how to make various pastel colors. 💕 I love it!
I use Americolor get colours! I do plan on doing a video on it, it's on my list 😊
@@LittleCookieCo please do!! I can never get the colours right.
I took my first cookie decorating class a couple of days ago and have enjoyed watching your videos. Thank you so much for all your great tips. I love watching you decorate. Do you have to buy two different bags for the piping and the flooding when you decorate cookies? I noticed two different bags in your description.
Thanks so much of watching! And no, I use the same bags for my outline and my flood icing. I just have a couple of options of bags as I've used both and sometimes when I can't get one I'll get the other. And also, just to give people more than one option!
Beautiful explanation throughout, thank you for sharing all your tips.
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
love this it’s a hugeeee help!! Could you share an icing recipe for doing words snd how to get the best consistency that’s my biggest issue! Thanks!
So glad it helped!!! This is my icing recipe, if your writing then don't add too much water. Just enough to get it all to come together. Most of the time your looking to get a soft peak for writing so if you lift your spoon up, the icing peak is up but curls a little bit. Right before I write on the cookies in this video, I show the consistency.

Amazing video .. very details. I occasionally make cookies for friends and family.. all your tips are synced with mine .. just wished I had found your videos sooner .. would had saved me times😀❤️❤️.
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for your very detailed videos. I notice you write the message on parchment and put it under the cookie. You then use a light projector so you can see the message highlighted on the cookie. Can you tell me which projector you use. Many thanks. Xx 💕💕
You're welcome! I usually make sure I have the right size, so I'll shine it on my cookie and then I'll practice with that size on parchment paper. Then when I'm ready I'll shine it on my cookie and then pipe for real. I've recently upgraded my projector to this one here ruclips.net/video/Cix3XOYJhG8/видео.html
Followed your tutorial and I was amazed at the results. The hardest part was getting my Cricut to cut the stencil right but once I had it, adding the letters to the cookies was a breeze!!
Yay!! Love to hear that 🥰
Lady you’re good. I’ve practiced & practiced over the years. I’m not too bad but not this good. I will try the other hand to steady writing.
I can’t get grip w same thickness for each letter.
Aww thank you so much! You have to find what works best for you and go with it! If you feel comfortable doing it a certain way and it gets you better results then stick with that! I never know if it's the right way but I try to make it work as best I can! And hopefully it will help you too 🥰 best of luck!!
This is amazing! How are you able to aim the projector downward to place the cookie for tracing?
Thank you! This is what holds my projector

Thank you 🥰🥰
I am not sure if I am missing something but why didn't you use pressure piping with the cheers cookie also?
Just showing different ways and techniques. Sometimes people don't like the look of pressure piping as it's not always super smoothe. And when I have very thin lines I like to use the outline and fill method because if I use the same bag for pressure piping as the thin lines sometimes they end up too thick. It's all personal preference
@@LittleCookieCo I understand. Thank you for the response
You have small piping bags. Where do you get them? Do you use a thicker consistency for outlining and then thinner for flooding? Do you save and reuse your leftover icing? Do you use meringue powder or egg whites? Lots of questions
I actually buy the big bags and cut them down after I tie them! That way they don't get in the way if I'm filming, and now I'm used to doing that. I find its cheaper just to buy 1 size instead of buying big and small bags. I use 2 consistencies (I am working on a video for that) but in my royal icing video at the end I show how I make the consistencies. And yes, I always freeze leftover icing and I use meringue powder for my icing 😊 I have tons of info on my channel and have a bunch more tips coming soon 🥰 this is the video for my royal icing which shows the consistencies at the end ruclips.net/video/L5mVKZnTqac/видео.html
@@LittleCookieCo thanks so much!!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much this was so helpful!!!!! I have a question..I know you cut the bag w seam up, when you pipe which way does the seam face?
I try to face the seam down in the middle towards the cookie. Sometimes the seam creates a line when your piping so I try to always face it down to hide it.
Little Cookie Co thank you!!!!
She is great! I wonder which projector she used?

I wouldn't necessarily recommend the one I have as there are better and newer ones, but id you look up the akaso projector I've heard good things about it!
What kind of projector do you have? Thank you. Beautiful work.
This is a great video! I also watched your tipless bag video and my mouth was hanging open when you piped the petals and leaves
Thank you so much!! You must watch this one if you enjoyed the leaves, I go a bit further in depth at the end of the video on them 😊

You do a great job. Thank you for sharing. What kind of projector are you using?
Thank you so much! If you look at the first comment I have some links pinned as a response for the projector 😊
Hi, thanks for an amazing tutorial, I learnt so so much. Would you mind answering a question for me, do you need to wait for the base icing that you flooded the cookie with to be completely dry before piping letters on? Or just crusted over, say an hour or so after flooding...specifically to prevent cratering in the letters. Thanks for your time.
Thank you! And I always try to pipe the next layer when the first layer is just crusted over. When the bottom layer is fully dry, you have a bigger chance of getting craters so I try to do the next later as soon as I can, especially if I know there my be small areas that might crater!
Good evening, I have two questions. First, what projector do you use. And second, where do you find your font?
Thank so much...love your videos
I use an aaxa pico, however I have tons of issues with it so I don't recommend it. I'll link one below that I've heard good things about. To find fonts, you can get them from 1001fonts.com, fontspace.com, dafont.com Microsoft Word, invitations, Google etc.

@@LittleCookieCo thank you for being so honest on your review. I am so grateful for all the knowledge you share with us and am happy to say my very first time decorating cookies got rave reviews from my neighbors! I wouldn’t have had the confidence to even attempt this without your help. I do have another question tho. When piping my outline, I had a hard time at the end...I kept getting a spike/lift. It stood up and almost resembled a Hershey’s Kiss. HELP
I'm so happy to know you gave them a try!! And sounds like they were a success!! Ans with every cookie you do, you'll improve a tiny bit and before you know it you'll be a pro! That little peak happens to me sometimes too when it does, I use my scribe to push it down or when you finish piping, just before you get to the end you let go of the pressure on the bag and try touching down and then move the piping bag a touch along the line as you lift up. This will make that little peak spread out a bit instead of stand straight up. But the scribe is the easiest and happens to me too sometimes!
Very helpful video haven't finished the video yet couldn't wait till the end to say thank you... but what if you do a mistake on the coockies?
Thank you so much! If you make a mistake you'd have to scrape it off quickly before it starts drying. If the colour is dark it may leave a mark though! I make extras normally just in case!
Great video! Would love to know what kind of projector you use and easel? Thanks!
Thanks! My projector isn't very good it has a lot of problems but this one has had really good reviews from cookiers. I'll link that one and the stand I use but not sure if it works with that projector so you'd just have to check.

Great Tutorial. I am really enjoying your instruction. I teach cake decorating, (cookie, candy. . . ) and I too always tell students that I practice Icing consistency on a board every time - no matter how many times I have done something. It is great to hear the affirmation. I don't do too many things for sale, as I love teaching and I am always looking to learn. . . I love your videos. For some reason, maybe because I have been doing cakes for so long I am excited about going back to cookies for a while. . .your videos have truly been inspirational.
I am interested in the projector segment. . . been looking at if for a while. Will look at several options, again since I don't really "Sell" more of a hobby then friends or friends of friends may order then I challenge myself. Thank you again for such great instructions.
I love making cakes too but I make them only for special occasions once in a while. I feel like cookies are fun in a different way. A projector helps a lot especially if you start doing cookies often. I use it for everything not just writing so it comes in handy a lot!
Would love to see your projector setup. Very nice work.
Thank you! I do have a video in that too 😊 ruclips.net/video/IWE0N73Oe2g/видео.html
