Sugar cookies: how to learn this skill and build a profitable cookie business
Sugar cookies. This is your home to learn how to make professional sugar cookies with royal icing and other mediums.
You've been tiptoeing around the perimeter for a while now. I know, I did for an entire year! I had no confidence in my work. Besides that, I was on my own. Back in the day, about a baker's dozen years ago, there were zero sites for cookie-ing. I had to teach myself every step of the way, with no classes!
Your advantage? You have WeCookier's to show you every step. For free!

 "When I started sugar cookie decorating nearly a decade ago, there was no where to turn to learn the art. I was determined to become a pro so I could help others. That's why WeCookiers exist." |
sugar cookies...You are about to change your life
Simply put, you need to be paid as an artist. This is art. So price accordingly. I will show you a simple formula for how to Price for Decorated Sugar Cookies, along with a short worksheet.
After having a firm grasp on decorating, the desire to start your own sugar cookie business will ‘flood’ the mind, whether it’s full-time or part-time.
I’ve spent the last (about) baker's dozen years being a professional cookier, along with selling thousands and thousands of decorated sugar cookies, quite literally.

1,000 cookies for the global unveiling banquet for Pisces VI, the world's deepest diving submarine, which was featured on National Geographic.Believe me, there is nothing quite like making that first work of art and having someone hand you money for it. That one time will spur you on to more greatness.
As you journey with me, learn how to...

· promote that business in the early days
· run a smooth business

Wait! Possible roadblocks in decorating sugar cookies as a business
WARNING!
Decorating sugar cookies is fabulously addicting, but...
...just when you thought this would be a cake cookie walk...There are some important factors to take into consideration.
For instance:
- Are there cottage laws?
- Is a commercial kitchen needed?
- What about sales tax?
- Are there tax liabilities?
- Are there copyright laws?
Cottage laws imageDon’t let these items snatch your dream away.
Knowing answers to questions like these will ease your mind.
There are guidelines for help along the way.
I will have loads of information as well as answer important questions like these, though I'm no tax expert.
Know also that sugar cookie-ing can be quite expensive. There’s simply no end to what neat gadgets to buy, whether they are just fun or will save some serious time in the kitchen.
You won’t need a lot to get started, thankfully.
Just the basics, like a toothpick instead of an icing scribe tool/icing needle tool. Even using a napkin or paper towel on a smooth surface can take the place of a cookie turntable. There are lots of shortcuts!
A must is knowing the piping tips for cookies to use. There are 6 nozzles you will need. These will give you the ability to do practically anything.
The longer you decorate sugar cookies, the more tools you want. That also is addictive!
