Cookie Planning Pages
Tired of the guesswork of how much fondant or royal icing you’ll need for a set?
Have some ‘standard’ sets that you offer?
Like to be organised rather than winging it every time?
Like to not have a heap of left over fondant or royal icing?
These planning pages are for you!
There are 3 different designs - one for painted fondant, one for dyed fondant, and one for royal icing. Print out copies of the one(s) you need, or save them as files with inserted text boxes.
If you’re printing them, there is a margin big enough to allow you to have them bound in a traditional book, or spiral bound. Or you could insert the pages into a display folder (added bonus of that layer of plastic protection while you’re working!). If you are printing them though, print them single sided - use the back to print out and stick pictures of the set, draw designs, or add any other details.
Then, get planning!
Designate your theme.
List the cutters and stamps you’ll need (there is room for 6, but if you need more, just use a second sheet and label them as Part 1, Part 2 etc).
Choose a ‘standard’ number of cookies for the set, such as 6 cookies. (You can expand or reduce the number of cookies as needed).
Do a practice run and work out exactly how much fondant royal icing you’ll need for a ‘standard set’. This means breaking out your scales and weighing your toppings! You could do this by filling the cookie stamps with fondant, then removing and weighing. Or weighing the cookie before decorating, then again afterwards, and working out the difference. For royal icing, you could weight before-and-after, or weight the piping bag before-and-after.
List any embellishments you’d use, such as royal icing transfers or fondant shapes from silicone moulds etc (and work out exactly how much you’ll need for those). You can also list any sprinkles or sprays you would use.
If you’re dying your fondant or royal icing, list the exact dye colours you’d use, and then how much of each royal icing colour or fondant colour you’ll need (far less wastage!). Use the same method as above.
If you’re painting, list the paint colours you need (you can even add in where each paint colour would be used)
Happy plannin!
