Liz, I make buttercream frosting for my cupcakes using Shortening and Cream Cheese Emulsion from LorAnns. In my opinion and my customers it tastes like cream cheese frosting. I’m not sure what your recipe is but could you use say powdered sugar, the cream cheese emulsion and water to make the icing? Or something like that. By the way, it smells horrible when you open the bottle but actually tastes could once it’s made.
Hi! New to the group but here’s my take on a Cookie Business. I started my company last December with a Class A CFL making drop cookies, bundt cakes, cupcakes, and breads. I didn’t start doing custom cookies until February for Valentine’s Day. At the time I was doing a weekly Farmers Market but wasn’t doing all the great. Anyone can make what I was making at for less than what I was charging. But custom cookies, not everyone can do those. However, not everyone can afford them either and I’m totally fine with that. Now, 75% of my business is custom cookies and I no longer am baking 6 hours on Saturday and sitting for 8 hours at the Farmers Market on Sunday. I got my weekends back! My real job is a Quality Engineer in Aerospace. I stressful job. Everyone hates you because you’re the police officer of the company making sure everyone is abiding by the laws of the company. Cookies on the other hand, everyone loves! Creating and decorating is my stress reliever. It is my therapy. As my one year is coming to a close, I’m seriously considering moving to a Class B. I want to get out there more and I have some interested parties that would like to sell my cookies. Thank you!
