Welcome to Sugar Dot Surveys! Every other month or so, I post a survey to gather your input on a specific cookie or business topic. Once the survey ends, I compile the results and write a summary post here on Cookie Connection. (You can read my previous surveys and recaps here.)
There's so much that we can learn from each other!
Let's talk about royal icing ingredients. What are your favorite brands of meringue powder and powdered sugar? Are you brand-loyal - never deviating from that tried-and-true brand of sugar or meringue powder? Or do you shop by convenience, picking up whatever's available in whatever store you're in? Or are you looking for a bargain? If it's cheap or on sale, you'll take it. Do tell!
Please share this survey with your cookie friends so that we can get input from as many cookiers as possible! I plan to start compiling results in early March, shortly after CookieCon, so be sure to answer this survey by March 1. (Who knows? If these results turn out to be especially intriguing, I may ask the same questions about cookie ingredients in my next survey!)
ALSO:
(1) DUE TO THE PROPRIETARY NATURE OF SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS, WE WILL NOT MAKE SPECIFIC SURVEY RESULTS PUBLIC. YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE RECAP FOR RESULTS IN AGGREGATE FORM.
(2) PLEASE TAKE THE SURVEY EVEN IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE US. YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE OPTION TO ADD THE BRANDS YOU USE IF YOU DON'T SEE THEM LISTED. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM EVERYONE!
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS (PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU TAKE THE SURVEY!)
(1) Open-ended (aka fill-in-the-blank or "Other") responses below are limited to 255 characters. If you run out of space on any question, feel free to elaborate in the comments area under this survey, but please identify the question (by number) to which you're responding.
(2) Unfortunately, our survey software will not allow you to skip questions. You must answer every one, or the system won't accept any of your responses. Choose the answer that best fits. Thanks!
Let's get started!
ADDENDUM (March 20, 2020): Read the recap article summarizing these survey results here.
