I flooded a cookie shocking pink, let it dry. Then airbrushed it with pink sheen. After that had dried wrote on it with white piping. After that was completely dry, I kept it in cello bags in an airtight box. When I opened the box today to wrap and put away in a box, the pink had run onto the white (lettering).
Why has that happened. I have to now re make most of them and am worried it will happen again.
Please help.

moisture contact is usually the culprit...Either 1.) try drying the base pink coat for 24 hours or 2.) stiffen your white so it has less water in it and let that air dry outside of the container for at least 6 hours before you package up into baggies and store (you want to make sure the surface of the two colors is completely dry...even though they appear dry, they usually need a little time.
Bleeding is always frustrating!! Best of luck!
Thank you so much! Just making a new lot today. I think, I bagged them too fast.
On this topic - I am about to embark on making 150 nurses caps - white RI on the cap and red cross RI transfers. My plan was to drop the red cross RI transfer into the white icing while wet. Do you think the red will bleed into the white? Should I let the white icing dry and then just "glue" the red crosses on later?

can you do a test? Do you colour your white icing white? I find have less bleeding then but red on white could still be a problem, I would make all my transfers and do a test
