Lovely cookies, but disco dust is PLASTIC CRAFT GLITTER and not for use on food–that is why containers say “non toxic, for decoration only”. With the disco dust on them, they are rendered inedible.

Disco dust is for use decos that will be removed and discarded or stored.

To keep something edible, edible glitter made from gum arabic, sanding sugar, or gelatin should be used.

In reply to kristen. Kristen, there are no dumb question first of all! Only dumb answers and I may provide a few now and then by mistake! LOL I like the 20 second icing because it is a good consistency for flooding and outlining. If I try to outline with flood icing it runs off the side of the cookie most of the time. If I try to flood with outline icing, the icing is rough and does not have a flat surface. The twenty second icing will allow me to only mix once consistency so it is faster then making flood and outline. Also, when I outline with twenty second icing and flood, the icing has a nice rounded smooth edge instead of a harder outline look. Hope this helps! Those are my reasons but you need to do what works for you:) Have a great day:)

firstly, all of your posts are so helpful and your work is gorgeous!
i understand the concept of 20 second icing and i hope this isnt a dumb question but what makes you decide to outline with 20 sec icing instead of the normally used thicker icing for piping? im still trying to figure out when or why i should use one vs the other for outlining purposes … thank you so much for your time and your blog!
