Decorating

Meringue powder

Basic sets of food coloring

  • Link for basic set of Wilton colors
  • I’d recommend these over Wilton if budget allows and you instead to decorate more–better quality colors, bottles and larger amounts of color:
    • Chefmaster – small bottles OR large bottles
      • **I’m newly obsessed with Chefmaster and highly recommend getting the large bottle set (you can mix just about any color you need from them!) or the small bottles if you prefer more premade colors
      • *You CAN use Chefmaster Bakers Rose (pink) with my lemon royal icing!!
    • Link for basic set of Americolor
      • Please note: you cannot use Americolor pinks with my lemon royal icing
    • Artisan Accents (I’ve never used these but it’s reputable brand loved by others I know!)

Water source for thinning icing

  • Basic: trickle from the tap 😉
  • Splurge: (make sure to ONLY ever use water in these!)

General

  1. The dehydrator that I use: https://amzn.to/3pzZf32
  2. The projector that I use: I own both of these projectors. I first owned the Pico and purchased the Bluetooth as an upgrade. If budget is a concern, the Pico gets the job done (just make sure that you’re plugging it in correctly!). Otherwise, I recommend the Bluetooth – it has a better/brighter image and connects via Bluetooth.
    1. 1) https://amzn.to/3348i24 (affiliate link) – Pico
    2. 2) https://amzn.to/2URI0dV (affiliate link) – Bluetooth
      1. I believe one or both of these projectors are sold out on Amazon. I’ve never personally used the following projectors, but I know people that use them and like them!

  10. Favorite edible markers for sketching designs directly on cookies: https://amzn.to/3QI7hCE
  11. Larger KitchenAid stand mixer (this is 6 quarts and my favorite because it fits a double batch of dough easily – standard is 5 quarts): https://amzn.to/3K8vKP2

HEAT SEALER – Amazon option

This sounds much fancier than it is. Buying flat bags made to use with a heat sealer will make your life SO much easier. I’m cheap so I bought the one that does not automatically cut the bag.

Color Solution

Paint Brush Set 

Sterling Pearls (metallic dusts like gold)

DiamonDust (edible glitter!!)

Elite color (powdered food coloring for painting and dry dusting)

Master Elites (highly pigmented powders for coloring icing…a MUST for red and black!!)

***Please note: my LEMON royal icing recipe does NOT work with all of the Master Elite colors due to the acidity of the lemon juice — a VANILLA (non-lemon) recipe is best used for the Master Elite pinks, otherwise I use all of their other colors with my lemon recipe (I use Wilton pink with my lemon recipe)
