Hi everyone, I'm working on some practice halloween cookies. For those of you who sell cookies, do you have any areas that are sunk in when you give it to the customer? I currently use a fan and do not have a dehydrator. The only work around I've found so far is to go over all the letters again after it has dried.

Do you poke holes in your base icing before piping your letters? That will help with cratering! It also helps if your icing isn’t 100% dry when you pipe details.
How long are you letting your base icing dry before doing the lettering? I let mine dry for 30 minutes to an hour, and poke holes before flooding the letters and get no craters or sinking. Also make sure the icing you use to fill in the letters is on the thicker side, but still settles to a smooth finish. This may take some trial and error!
If making holes isn’t working, you can put a line down the middle of the lettering, let it dry, then flood around it. That can help sometimes as well.
