My sisiters MIL asked if I wanted to make some cookie bouquets to sale at Burgin Days. But she said they would be outside on booth. How long would they last in the sun or should I try to cover them in MMF? Which would last longer?

Were you planning on covering the cookies in BC or royal? I have had royal in the California sun for hours, and the only problem was maybe a little fading of the colors.

I'd worry about BC melting if it is hot.

I've nver covered cookies in MMF. Do you stick it on with BC?

Yes royal icing. I don't know about the mmf either I have not tried it yet! Thanks though!!

I really don't have much of an answer. but had to comment on your signature. GET IN MY BELLY. My DD who is 4 say's this all the time because of her lovely dad teaching her. She grabs her belly and say's it with a deep voice and drags out beelllyy.

How funny that is so cute!! Someone else really liked it and said they would say it all the time when that movie came out!! I have always said it and thought it was approriate to cakes!!!

I have used royal icing (Alice's Icing as it does not dry as hard), buttercream (crusting), rolled buttercream and MMF to cover cookies and have sold them for years at our annual picnic. I did not have a problem with any of the icings melting....and I was worried about the buttercream....but it did just fine! I say make some as a test and put them outside and see how they do!
