Would love to see a video of using a heat gun to dry a royal iced cookie. I’m struggling with using my heat gun.

Wonderful helpful video, I also have question about the royal icing transfers and didn’t see any answers to the above questions. I would also like to know because I have not seen this question before, it is if you have to let the cookies dry for some say 24 hours in some cases do the cookies ever get stale from setting out in the open for long periods of time? I have only made cookies for Christmas gifts and immediately after cooling put in air tight containers. Besides the ones we eat for snacks but, those are also kept in a cookie jar or tightly covered. Thank you so much for all this valuable information it has me almost ready to jump into getting the rest of the supplies I will need to try to make beautiful cookies. I also live in high humidity so I will have to experiment a lot like you suggested which is a little scary but, I am going to try this.

Lisa, When you said you dry decorated cookies in front of a heat fan…is that a portable space heater? When I read blogs that suggest drying cookies with a fan, I thought they meant a regular portable cool air fan {so now I use one}. But my cookies do not dry shiny. Why is that? Thank you. I learn so much from your blog.

Hi, I’ve tried making royal icing transfers but have not had much success with them, say only 10%! What should the thickness of the icing be to make them? Whenever I’ve made them, they crack or break when I go to peel them off. I used parchment paper. Does that make a difference? Would the transfers be easier to take off if I stencilled them onto wax paper? I’ve never seen these questions answered with any cookier’s blog. All I’ve ever read is how easy royal icing transfers are easy to do. Thank you.
