There are 2 auctions/fundraisers in town this weekend. One for a mom of 3 who has cancer and another for 2 policemen that recently lost their houses due to flooding. I was thinking of donating a platter or 2 to each auction. My problem is I am new to cookie decorating and I wonder if my cookies will be good enough. I was going to use NFSC and Antonia's Icing, however my decorating skills are basic. Should I attempt this knowing the cookies will taste good but look so-so? Should I put my name on the platter or list ingredients? I've never done anything like this before. TIA icon_smile.gif

Just keep the decorations simple. You could do fall leaves and just plain ice them and add some coarse sugar sprinkles.

They will look as good as they taste.

A nice donation-they won't be too picky.

Definitely do it and put your name on it. People have become afraid of not knowing the origin of their food and justly so. Have fun with them! You will be fine.

Go for it! I'm doing the same thing for a man with cancer that cannot pay for his treatment. A friend is doing a golf tournament fundraiser with a silent auction and I'm donating a cheesecake. Your cookies will be a nice change from the usual stuff they get I bet.

Don't forget to post pictures! icon_smile.gif
