the cookies need to be specified make sure you use large cookies. The frosting in a can did not hold head and became a big mess up the project was a disapointment and wound up in garbage. The directions were not specific enough.

Frosting. A waste of time and money.

I live outside a very small town. Does anybody know if I could get the pastry tips nearby? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
