Can I put NFSC w/antonias icing on them in the freezer or fridge to dry quicker or will it crack?

Thanks!

Alot of CCer's seem to use a low wattage lamp or fan to help speed up the drying process.

I've frozen them after they were decorated, but never to dry.

I use those stacking cooling racks or (any other available space, usually a table) in front of a regular fan. Works great for me!

cookiemookie,

I have been trying to get someone to answer me.
You said that you have frozen cookies after decorated. Can I freeze NSFC covered in fondant??

TIA

Fondant on cookies freezes fine. You do need to be aware of possible condensation. It will evaporate, but if you have bright colors, they can cause color to bleed.

Otherwise, they are perfect from the freezer.

After you decorate them, how do you cover them to freeze them? Are they OK in airtight containers? I am making some for Friday and would love to go ahead and bake/decorate them. If I did them today or tomorrow and froze them until Friday morning, would they thaw by Friday afternoon and still taste and look fresh?

Sorry to "jump in" on someone else's post!

I made these painted cookies, NFSC with antonia's royal and then once they were dry I painted on them with americolor gels...then laid them on a sheet of foam core covered in parchment paper between each layer of cookies and then wrapped the whole thing in plastic wrap and then heavy duty foil......I froze them for about 3 weeks and then when I needed them I pulled them out stuck em' on top of the fridge (3 young kids lol) and left them there for almost an entire day before unwrapping and boxing them and they were perfect......they weren't sticky none of the colors ran they looked exactlly like they do in the photo!!! I was worried that they might be tacky but they weren't

BEAUTIFUL COOKIES! Thanks very much for your response.

I'm sorry I didn't get to your question sooner. I ended up in the ER yesterday w/blood pressure issues. All is well now.

I haven't done many cookies with fondant so I never froze them.

I mainly use Antonia's icing, which freezes well when on cookies.

Hope you get the answer you need. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
