How big is this cookie and how long does it take you to decorate it? Also, do you create the cookie as you go or do you sketch out a decorating plan with colors and textures you'll use? I'm probably asking you to reveal a family secret... ; )
Such beautiful designs Diane!!! Love the set . Your work is always so detailed and have such a variety of colors that draw my eye to each and every cookie!

Thank you so much Pip for all of your kind words, always! This cookie is about 3 1/2" long. I used to time myself all of the time when I sold cookies but now I really don't . However, if I had to guess, I would say the details take about 10 minutes as long as all of my icing bags are ready to go. As far as design is concerned, I am mostly an "organic" decorator in that I have some idea in my mind what I want to accomplish but it usually comes to fruition as I go along. RARELY, do I plan out the design, however, on occasion, it is necessary and stresses me out a bit. When I ice the cookie (prior to piping), I make sure I like the overall color scheme on the cookie. I typically just make a few colors that I think would look nice and then when I like that, I ice. The rest come as I go.

Thank you so much Carol! What nice compliments. I do love color, hate to mix them, but I do love color! LOL!
