I started this year by teaching myself to decorate sugar cookies, and I ended it by fulfilling a 24 dozen holiday order for Bacardi.
When I was contacted by the executive assistant at my local Bacardi bottling campus to place this order, there was no way I was passing it up. Previously my largest order was 6 dozen, so this felt very big and scary. I had 3 weeks to do it! We settled on 12 dozen Bacardi logos, and 12 dozen of the holiday design that I came up with. I had a schedule and set daily production goals that helped me stay ahead of that schedule. There were definitely some ups and downs and moments of self doubt, but I finished!! I don't say it often but I am so so so so proud of myself for this. It's hard for me to wrap my head around how far I've come in such a short period of time!

Those are gorgeous! Congrats and yes, absolutely feel proud of your work! What do you think were some of the keys to your ability to go from beginner to that level of decorating ability in one year?
You nailed their typeface. Beautiful.
Now I want Coquito.
How long did this take?
Do you use a edible printer? If so which one please?
These look great!
Amazing work! Congratulations!
I can just feel how long all that lettering took you!!
