HI all, in a couple of weeks I will be travelling to see family and have been asked to make some cookies for my nieces 10th Birthday while I am there. Just wondering for those of you that travel to teach or travelled and done cookies what are your essential items that you don't leave home without? Aside from the basic must have's (ie; the cookie cutter in the shape I am doing) what are some of the tools you can never 'make do' without? What are some of the things that you have taken that you really didn't need? I will be driving so can take a small box of tools. Just wondering if I may be forgetting something in putting my list together, any advice would be great. Thanks

Hi, I travel with a full suitcase of tools when traveling for classes, everything from trussing needles and paint brushes to stencils and wafer paper and rubber stamps. But I'm typically teaching at least 10 different techniques per class, so my situation isn't at all analogous to this. If traveling with the intent to decorate something very specific on the other end, I'd probably map out the cookie designs before leaving and then list off everything needed to make them; then bring just those things that I knew I couldn't easily find on the other end and which were required specifically for those designs. Or, better yet, I'd make the cookies before leaving and travel with them so I could fully enjoy family while there. But that's me.

We have an average 3 1/2 drive to family where I usually do cookies for them.  In addition to Julia's list I make up my icing in advance too.  I may or may not tint it until I get there but it's mixed and ready to go.  I usually have extra cookies and supplies so the kids can try their hand at decorating too.
