Thursday, April 17, 2014. Thinking "Outside of the Cookie". Since opening my Etsy shop. With ClipArt and KK Images, I have been asked numerous times, if I have a coordinating cutter for a particular image. My answer is usually:. If I do, there will be a picture and a link along with the description. However, all images can be placed on an cutter with just a little "thinking outside of the cookie! This is just a little example of what I mean. Here I have 4 various plaque shapes and 4 images from the shop.

I use bags for all my piping icing and bottles for all my flood. I just find it easier to put flood in bottle than in a bag. Vise versa for the piping icing. Kuhn Rikon Deco squirt Bottles:.
