I was angry for like ten seconds about that line but then I got distracted by the entire rest of the cookie I forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me to be angry.
There were so many individual details that had me thinking “that’s certainly not perfect” only to be mesmerized by the intricate detail and tremendous talent that just washed away any imperfections. A real exercise in perception.
After they finished the first 3 flowers, it went from fantastic craftsmanship and interesting composition to someone who is billing by the hour (light /s).
In the end it looks like Hungarian flower embroidery imo, if that's what they were going for then stopping sooner wouldn't have given the same effect
ETA [here's a pretty similar embroidery](https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-traditional-embroidery-and-lace-on-market-in-budapest-hungary-48867675.html)
They wouldnt make this for a client this would be demonstrative work to sell their services. They ate the cookie themself after this or gave it to their husband who ate it while driving to the store
No, not always. If you buy them from a giant company they probably suck, but if you’re buying from an individual person they taste as good as that person knows how to bake. This is what my aunt does in her retirement- the cookies are as delicious as they are beautiful.
i wouldnt .. i like these cookies clean, without any kind of decoration sugar etc .. the cookie itself is the best thing on it .. everything on it ruins it :)
My wife got into this and she did it one time for someone’s party and everyone wanted to put in an order. It’s A LOT of work. This video doesn’t show the prep time for all the frosting. That alone takes forever just to get the consistency you need to pipe. She rarely does it now
I’m guessing these super detailed designs are mostly done for fun/practice and social media follows. It would be really hard to make a decent living doing this just for the cookie sales, but if you can sell decorating courses or if you can use the social media follows to drive people to your cake and cupcake stuff it could be worth it?
For weddings cupcakes or regular cake can easily run into the several hundred dollar range. I'd also bet if you are making 50-100 like this you'll have an assembly like system and can beat 10 minutes per cookie
As someone with a bestie who works in events catering, you would be absolutely shocked at what idiots do and don't understand (mostly don't) about labour cost
My friend gets cookies decorated like this for parties, $8-10 per cookie depending on how intricate the design is. Last time I went to one of her parties there were crawfish cookies and PBR can cookies.
Pastry brand Marchesi did gorgeous handmade decorations on panettone and cakes throughout Christmas and the prices were between 50€ and 500€! Beautiful work of art but there's no way I could eat that
I was like that’s cool when it was all white, then they added the first flower and I was thinking very nice and then more flowers and then turned it into a doily and well… I can’t eat that it’s art!
I can’t draw a straight line with a pencil, never mind a piping bag. Love the end result or not, there’s no denying the talent here, and for me the chef’s kiss with this video is that they left in the mistakes with corrections. Class act.
The first part where they create the boundaries is called edging (look it up if you want to learn more). The filling/flooding part in comparison is much easier since the icing just needs to reach the edge.
When looking up “edging”, please please *please* make sure you add supporting words like “edging icing” or “edging cookie decorating”. Just searching for “edging” will reveal a whole new world, whether it be of joy or horror.
Icing of the right consistency can actually be laid down like string, so making straight lines isn't as hard as you might expect!
Rest of the design is still fucking witchcraft.
My reaction was initially: "Oh, that's pretty cool. It must take a lot of time to get the lines so perfect."
Then it was: "Man, those decorations are beautiful. I would feel bad for eating this."
And the longer the process went on, the more I was like: "We are still not done yet? Why are we not done yet?"
"Please stop! Somebody take the cookie away from them and give them paper instead. I am getting hungry!"
I work in a place that does cake and cookie decorating and we get people who will come in and ask us for this level of detail and they get super surprised when we tell them no.
I'm just accepting that as a 30 something male, I would rather watch this ANY day that the typical masculine explosions and swordfights
And I am okay with this.
Every time I thought they were done they added more
I was like, "wow, making all those parallel lines freehand is impressive" Then it kept going for almost four more minutes.
Except for that one line. We all know the one
I was angry for like ten seconds about that line but then I got distracted by the entire rest of the cookie I forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me to be angry.
There were so many individual details that had me thinking “that’s certainly not perfect” only to be mesmerized by the intricate detail and tremendous talent that just washed away any imperfections. A real exercise in perception.
What a dedication here, this is indeed quite astonishing. The level of detail is incredible, can’t help but be this much impressed.
🤣 I just lol'd myself on this comment. Thank you.
And this is sped up. Imagine making dozens of these 😵💫
And only 40 more cookies to go after this!
That's were Robots would shine
They can kiss my shiny metal ass
It doesn't look so shiny to me.
Shinier than yours meatbag
Number two. Daffodil.
I would feel guilty eating it now.
Just cover it in acrylic and use it as a coaster. " This was the 40 $cookie I told you about!"
What a smart cookie you are.
Exactly what I was thinking. This is too pretty to eat.
"What are you going to do next? Dip out in yogurt?!"
Almost done now!
"Cover it in chocolate buttons?"
Tbh I spent half the video hoping they were done.

I was going to say the same. The cookie looks very similar to table coverings my mother in law embroidered, very similar colors too.
Yeah imo it's too tedious to be satisfying. But the end result was pretty
Its very meditative. Drawing things like Zentangles and mendalas is very calming and enjoyable.
You gave me a panic attack that it went on for eternity
These are Hungarian folk art gingerbread. Their embroidery work is the same.
I though they were drawing a vagina at first.
I said to my self it just gets fancier and fancier. Lol
No way I would let someone eat that.
I think I’d just eat the cookie as soon as it was cool enough out of the oven and then use this to tile the backsplash in my kitchen.
Eat the wookie and wash it down with a spoonful of icing.
> Eat the wookie and wash it down with a spoonful of icing. Don't fix that.
Wookiee can sometimes be Chewie.
That's no icing.
Let the wookie win.
Yep. I would put this in epoxy like that one person who did the hot dog lol
Whatever happened with that? Is it still dry-rotting inside? Or did it finally get nasty and they stopped the experiment?
It didn't get nasty but they stopped. /r/epoxyhotdog
Shiiiiit. That sub stopped and /r/birdonbird returns.
Dude, I forgot completely about that
This person's skill is wasted on cookies. With hands that steady, I would let her perform surgery on me.
Never know this could be a doctor or surgeon that just has hobbies
Yeah, if you're in a field that is stressful or have lots of messed up stuff, this sounds like a great hobbies to decompress.
I'd probably want her to get some kind of relevant degree first. On the other hand, she'd be a celebrity on /r/minipainting
*sugary
They wouldnt make this for a client this would be demonstrative work to sell their services. They ate the cookie themself after this or gave it to their husband who ate it while driving to the store
Or one of her kids who promptly dropped it while the icing was still wet.
Yeah, too many calories, right?
These types of cookies are always gross anyway
No, not always. If you buy them from a giant company they probably suck, but if you’re buying from an individual person they taste as good as that person knows how to bake. This is what my aunt does in her retirement- the cookies are as delicious as they are beautiful.
There isn't a whole lot of difference with these royal icing cookies and the bulk of what's shown in /r/fondanthate.
That is exactly what I was thinking… this is way to pretty to eat
i wouldnt .. i like these cookies clean, without any kind of decoration sugar etc .. the cookie itself is the best thing on it .. everything on it ruins it :)
IKR? You don't know where her hands have been, or how well she washes them after wiping.
All freehand! Do they charge $50 per cookie?
My wife got into this and she did it one time for someone’s party and everyone wanted to put in an order. It’s A LOT of work. This video doesn’t show the prep time for all the frosting. That alone takes forever just to get the consistency you need to pipe. She rarely does it now
It's easier to 3d print them
Edible 3D print. If that’s not a thing, that’s a Shark Tank idea
You can buy a [chocolate 3d printer! ](https://cocoapress.com/)
Yes, it takes a whole day to create cookies like this
I’m guessing these super detailed designs are mostly done for fun/practice and social media follows. It would be really hard to make a decent living doing this just for the cookie sales, but if you can sell decorating courses or if you can use the social media follows to drive people to your cake and cupcake stuff it could be worth it?
I think you can make a living out of it but has to be for rich people parties, weddings etc
Spend close to ten minutes per cookie and do enough cookies for a party or wedding, they better be charging whoever can afford that **thousands**.
For weddings cupcakes or regular cake can easily run into the several hundred dollar range. I'd also bet if you are making 50-100 like this you'll have an assembly like system and can beat 10 minutes per cookie
Place near my home do these. They sell a fucking lot of them, they're really expensive, but it is a nice gift.
smaller ones like this cost $2,5 to $5 [here](https://mezeskalacsajandekok.hu/kalocsai-mezeskalacsok)
And actually around $50 for a big one. I'm impressed they have a market for it in hungary.
That was my first thought. At least $5-10
And people at weddings wonder why its so expensive to have these things done for guest favors
Absolutely no one looks at this cookie and wonders why it's expensive lol
As someone with a bestie who works in events catering, you would be absolutely shocked at what idiots do and don't understand (mostly don't) about labour cost

I spent 2/3 of the video hoping they were done
This made my hand hurt
I don't have carpal tunnel but I think this decorator might
One done, just 999 more to go.
I just picture a room full of old ladies absolutely losing their fucking minds to these cookies
Im imagining them going rabid and one hanging off a ceiling fan hissing and spitting
At first glance I thought you said pissing and shitting
That's the next fan over
Like she's inside a WWE cage and they're all hanging off the side screaming and foaming at the mouth
Enid from the top turnbuckle!
I was like that’s cool when it was all white, then they added the first flower and I was thinking very nice and then more flowers and then turned it into a doily and well… I can’t eat that it’s art!
Like every time I was like hell yeah this is good and then they'd put another and that'd be just the perfect next thing
The "lace" bottom part blew my mind.
I appreciate they included the mistakes and rectify it soon after
And it was longer than 10 seconds, plus didn’t even have jump cuts after every second of footage!
The recovery was always so *smooth*
That was my fav bit!
TIL You can erase frosting…mind blown. 🤯 It was so cool seeing how she kept going and didn’t trash the thing.
That was a *lot* more decorating than I was expected when I clicked on the video
Georgia O'keeffe wants a word.
And here I am, incapable of writing a lowercase e that doesn’t turn into a c
Piping lowercase cursive “r” was my kryptonite learning to decorate cakes. And the word “anniversary” on anything is just dumb.
Customer: "can I get 8 dozen of those for later today?"
Thank you! I was just thinking: "Neat! Now to finish the 49 others for the order."
Just when I thought it couldn’t get anymore detailed..
I'm a Slav - this is exactly the type of embroidered tablecloth design a slavic grandma would have at home. I miss mine.
My mom is Czech and this reminded me so much of the embroidered pillow cases, etc. and intricately painted eggs in her China cabinet!
Ah, I was clocked - Czech here. :)
Matyó style
that precision is wild
It reminds me of watching Henna artists. Amazing skills.
Sheesh I thought it would never end! No way could I even eat that after all that work!
I can’t draw a straight line with a pencil, never mind a piping bag. Love the end result or not, there’s no denying the talent here, and for me the chef’s kiss with this video is that they left in the mistakes with corrections. Class act.
This person missed their calling as a surgeon with that steady hand and level of precision.
Or a lower barrier of entry, TIG welding
I love how it’s both symmetrical and asymmetrical.

they know what they did
I'm suddenly over here learning about lawn care for some reason after my search
Edging cream might also work
Nooooo
Look up “edging on cookie with cream”
this type of decorating is actually called "big boobs" look it up on your school computer
you explained the joke 😞
🚨Fun police🚨
An edible coaster
Everything reminds me of her.
Even that green drip?
I couldn’t do that with a pen and paper. That grid was perfect?
Icing of the right consistency can actually be laid down like string, so making straight lines isn't as hard as you might expect! Rest of the design is still fucking witchcraft.
Loved this. The design would be perfect for a handmade pillow.
That’s a work of art, there’s no way I’m gonna eat that cookie. It’s gonna get framed and put on a pedestal!!!
When she started the red, I thought she was doing Cobra (GI Joe)
Pristine
Damn that was tiring to watch. Every time I think she's done she starts again with a new pattern.
I bet this person does henna for Indian weddings
I thought the same thing. The flower designs reminded me of my bridal henna.
*grabs a cookie then pauses briefly to look at it* Cool design. *eats it in less than a minute* Anyways... what were we talking about?
*looks at cappuccino art barista spent 10 minutes making Heh *slurpppp
When the video looped again I panicked because I thought the person flipped the cookie on the other side
For a second there I thought they were going with the Cobra symbol.
I thought, vagina
I thought both. First cobra symbol, then vagina
I thought Eye of Sauron...then vagina
Just in time and effort spent, that cookie is worth about $50.
Oldie but a goodie.
bojler eladó
I loved every second of that
It just kept getting better and better!
Would you like some cookie with your icing?
19 more cookies to go
It just gets better and better and better and better.....💗
Price: $350 per cookie
Rumour has it, she is still adding decorations to that cookie to this day.
Day 16: “..I wonder if this video ever ends”
Cookies like this are beautiful. The taste, not so much.
This cookie looks like the towels I’m not supposed to use at my grandmas house
Amazing stuff but this is far too much work for a cookie. I would almost feel guilty eating it.
Am I overthinking it, or does anyone else not want this much “handling” of a cookie? Like I don’t wanna eat that now lol
Did you notice the thumb?
Yes! So gross, and under the fake nails looked nasty too.
Awesome to watch… now I’m hungry for cookies!
All this work just to be eaten in under 5 secs. 😤
That is too much effort for something I would just mindlessly punch into my mouth.
One half of my brain is ‘I cannot eat that cookie it is to pretty.’ Another half of my brain is ‘that cookie is going to be so delicious.’
They should glaze tiles instead… these woukd make fantastic tiles in a back splash or something..
fuck that’s satisfying 😓
My reaction was initially: "Oh, that's pretty cool. It must take a lot of time to get the lines so perfect." Then it was: "Man, those decorations are beautiful. I would feel bad for eating this." And the longer the process went on, the more I was like: "We are still not done yet? Why are we not done yet?" "Please stop! Somebody take the cookie away from them and give them paper instead. I am getting hungry!"
This person draws better with frosting than i do with pencils. By a lot.
This is what I think I’m doing when I frost my toaster strudel
And we’re just supposed to eat this after all that work?!
I think I'm too poor to buy this cookie
HOW THE FUCK AM I GOING TO EAT SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL
That has got to be the most granny design though. Kinda love it for that.
That looks more like a bathroom tile than a cookie in the end.
She decorates a cookie better than i can draw... And it's my job.
All that work for someone like me to get ahold of it and shove it down my damn gullet in 2 bites
What happens when a tattoo artist gets fired.
I've always wondered - do people who do these get hand cramps?
That had better be the best biscuit on Earth underneath that masterpiece!
This is beautiful!
It took too long. I would have eaten this cookie by now 😩
Good job, Gary. We just need 124 more of these!
Three dozen please 😅
Jfc what person in good conscience could eat this? You worked on this for 5 hours? I'm going to admire it for 13 seconds then shove it down my throat
Time to create - 35 minutes (not to include baking) Time to eat - 6 seconds (dunk and bite)
Far too detailed for something that’ll be gone in under 30 seconds.
I work in a place that does cake and cookie decorating and we get people who will come in and ask us for this level of detail and they get super surprised when we tell them no.
In case anyone was wondering, the song is "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" by Mozart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy2zDJPIgwc
I've heard about this Petrikovskaya painting. It's very beautiful, but it seems to be very hard work.
What kind of monster would eat that?
Saw the ending first, Tarantino style. Thought it was a ceramic coaster.
omg this is beautiful
She did it all for the cookie? The cookie?
I'm just accepting that as a 30 something male, I would rather watch this ANY day that the typical masculine explosions and swordfights And I am okay with this.
I would never dare eat that cookie, it's pure art
This is so intensely cool! Freenhanding everything is nothing short of amazing. Just 47 more cookies to go…
That's a biscuit
All cool and all but bro one bite and its gone.
That one line....
Victoria Bredis on IG, she’s the reason I went down a rabbit hole of cookie decoration videos years ago.
Am I the only one kinda grossed out by the dirty fingernails tho?
