I'm getting ready to tackle Mario cookies for my kiddos birthday and one shape is a yoshi egg and another is a 1up mushroom. When you do cookies with large dots to fill in, do you start with the dot or the outside. I anticipate these dots are too big on the cookie for wet-on-wet, and will be do one, let it dry, do the other. So all knowing Reddit- which comes first? TIA

I would start by lining the outside first and then line your dots. Do the flooding around your dots and then flood your dots last.
I would do wet next to wet. I would outline everything including the dot. Then flood the outside, then the dot. But do the edge of the dot last, you can almost outline it again with your flood icing to make it a neater circle.
As strong colours tend to bleed would it be better to do green first let it dry for a bit then white? I have no clue. Wish I had this answer
Trace this on parchment and make a map when you are first learning this art form! and best advice anyone ever gave and it’s worked perfect- is: the closest or most recently donned) (think- what showed up in the scene first? Sky comes before cloud) a hat placed on the head after the head is born) comes last . So, background first, the face (flesh, flesh contrast, eyes), hat, bubbles, and if you are airbrushing or painting the hat shadow, it would come last).
A question you are asking about the dots- in this case you want puff and height so if lay the whole hat base. Then I’d dehydrate it. Then I’d lay the dots- outlined, yes but the way I flood you don’t see my outline -decide if you want to see yours or not) and I’d make a nice pufffy dot ant get it into the dehydrator.
Use a dehydrator and nice thick flood and you’ll get lots of puff for this cute idea. You’ll love it!
