How soon after flooding can I add details to cookies?
I'm going to be doing project-based work at a bakery, but my available time is very limited as i am working around a full-time job. Is it possible to decorate cookies from start to finish in a single day?

It depends on the detail. I normally let it crust.
FYI bleeding seems to happen when the icings are different consistencies
The answer completely depends on your cookie design and the techniques you're using. For instance, if you want to stencil with royal icing on a topcoat, I'd let the topcoat dry all the way through, ideally overnight. If you just want to pipe a few details on top (which don't require the application of lots of pressure, the way stenciling can), then you can let the icing crust and proceed more quickly.
