Decorated 4th of July Cookies

Hello!

I have decorated a new cookie you can try. Nothing big, but cute. In doing so, I went ahead and made you a graphics download for 'Sparks Fly' and a few others.

The 'Sparks Fly' cookie is in the inspiration set below.

Here is the freebie. (I promise. Last issue, I neglected to link the Father's Day sayings. At least I caught it, and I hope you saw the extra email!)

Best Cookie Decorating Tools

Marketing Your Business

1. I'm not all for offering a lot of options. People have a hard enough time making decisions. However, when I started out, I offered a couple of different cookie flavors.

You could offer a few choices, which you could charge a little more for as 'specialty' cookies. Perhaps offer them only a few times a year.

2. If you are confident enough, how about doing a live demonstration for a baking supply place? You could also do it for different fundraising functions.

3. Have you checked with restaurants in your area to see if they will let you sell your cookies by the register or at a food bar? Sometimes donating part of the price to a good cause will encourage sales, too.

Tips and Hacks

1. How to make rose gold Icing color: 1 part gold, 1 part electric pink, 1 part chocolate brown
2. You can help guard against over-saturated black. It sounds strange, but empty all your extra colors into a bowl and mix. This will give you a base color that you can add the black food gel to. ENCO is my go-to for food gels. They are highly concentrated, and you will only need drops instead of tablespoons.

3. To get muted colors, add taupe. To get pastel colors, add ivory.

This section will not always be included, but if something is trending or news in the cookie world, I'll include it here.

Just a quick update on what is still trendy for 2026: anything neutral: baby showers, weddings, etc. Sticking with taupe, champagne, beige, etc., you can't go wrong!
