Using a Fan

Hi everyone - question from a newbie here:

 

I have so many problems with craters and pin holes and it seems no matter what I do, I can't avoid them. Not quite sure what it is I am doing wrong. 

 

With that being said, I've read a lot about people using dehydrators and a few have said they use a fan to help speed the drying process. I've also read that both will help with those issues. 

 

Can you tell me your experiences with this? I have a table top fan and if it helps I am going to start using it today! :-)

 

Where do I place the fan though and on what speed? I have visions of me blowing the wet icing right off the cookies if it's on too high or the fan is too close to the cookies. Also, should the fan be pointing directly down on to the cookies? Not sure if my fan will angle down like that but if that's what it takes, I'll make it work. 

 

I don't want to try it until I see what others "in the know" say about using it.

 

Thanks!

Colleen

Blogging about the ups and downs of learning to decorate cookies keeps it real. The day I stop having fun decorating I will hang up my apron but I don't see that happening for a very long time. I'm on a never ending journey to learn from others more skilled than I am.
