THANK YOU!!! Your video just solved several of my frustrating problems!!!

[@RockCityCookies]

YAY! That’s the best!! I’m so glad it helped!!!

[@tammycomeau9993]

Just a hobby cookier here but I've really been enjoying your videos. I haven't even experienced rippling of the icing yet. It's so weird, the last couple sets of cookies I did turned out quite nice and I was feeling encouraged and then the last two were a disaster! Had colour bleeding and the denting plus I over flooded and had issues with consistency. A general mess! I can't imagine making cookies as a business, having a timeline and then having one or more of these issues come up. Maybe you could make a video and tell a few horror stories lol??

[@margarettaylor2305]

Thank you I was wondering why my cookies rippled I thought maybe it was the red frosting or over-saturating .
