Dear Friend,
|
This will sound strange, but... have
you noticed the prices of cookies nowadays?
Not the ones at the supermarket. I
mean the beautiful, custom-decorated ones at the cookie stores that
are popping up everywhere.
Ever since Samantha and I created our
best-selling video books, Cake Decorating Made Easy!
Vol. 1 & 2, we've been getting a ton of emails.
Not only about cakes, but also about custom-decorated cookies.
I had never heard of these before,
but didn't really have time to investigate. Then recently, as luck would
have it, a franchise cookie shop opened up right down the street from
me. So I strolled down to take a look...
...and I almost choked!
I couldn't believe the prices: up to $90 for a simple
cookie bouquet!
What was going on here?
So I called up my partner, Sam, and
asked if she had ever heard about this. She had, of course. She's been
creating custom cookies for years. And yes, people really pay $50-$90
for a custom cookie arrangement.
I reminded her about all the emails
we've been getting about cookies lately. It seemed obvious our cake
decorators would love to learn about these wonderful treats.
So I asked which videos and DVD's I
should recommend to our customers. She thought for a minute, and said,
"There aren't any!"
She explained that although the few
books available were helpful, and some even had good how-to information,
there just aren't any
videos on the subject at all. The fact is it's not a hard skill
to master -- you just need someone to show you how to do it.
As Sam talked, we realized the tremendous
opportunity this presents for our cake community...
She explained that any good cake
decorator already has the tools and skills necessary to make these gorgeous
cookies -- even the expensive cookie bouquets!
All you need is a few tips, a couple of specific
recipes, and someone to show you how it's all done.
So I asked her: "Why don't we make a video book
that teaches our cake community how to create these beautiful bouquets?"
And that's exactly what we've done.

More about that in a moment. But first, you might
be wondering...
"Why Would I Want to Make
Hand-Decorated Cookies?"
First of all, they look incredible
and taste heavenly (especially when you use Sam's recipes).
But there are other reasons too:
- They're perfect for any holiday. You'll never
wonder what to make again, for any special occasion or any special
person.
- Everybody is delighted to receive them. Who doesn't
love cookies?
- They're a lot of fun to make.
- Plus, they're really easy. If you can decorate
a cake, you can make magnificent cookies -- and in less time! No question
about it.
Also cookies are single-serving, less messy to eat
than cakes, have a good shelf life, and even the bouquets are easier
to transport.
Fun Projects for Your Children
or Grandchildren
Many of our readers have told us they're looking
for projects to do with their kids or grandkids. Cookies are always
a welcome choice!

In fact, one popular "cookie boutique" charges $12 per child for a two-hour
cookie-decorating class -- and each child only gets 4 cookies to decorate.
(That's why Sam insisted that our videos show
you how to make over a dozen different designs, using a variety of techniques.
So you can look forward to many days of
happy baking and decorating with your loved ones.)

"Hi Michael! I bought your cookie video books
on Friday and made cookies with my kids on Saturday. It was the
funnest time and the cookies turned out beautifully.
I had my laptop in the kitchen so we all watched
the decorating videos together. My 5 year old LOVED watching it
and then seeing her own cookies...This is the coolest thing I've
bought on the internet since your Cake Decorating video books!"

A Few More Reasons Why Cookies
Are The Perfect Gift
Cookies make wonderful Thank You gifts,
birthday gifts, shower gifts, Get Well gifts... you name it. They're
also perfect for bake sales, fundraisers, and other events.
Plus many people have never seen a
cookie bouquet before! They'll be amazed when they see yours! And people
who have seen these cookies for sale will be impressed with
the value of your gift.
By the way, you might have noticed
that gift baskets these days are outrageously expensive -- even a mere
basket of fruit can cost you $70.
But once you learn to make your own
custom-decorated cookies and cookie baskets, you can give gifts worth
up to $90... that cost you only about $5 to make!
Bargains like this are hard to find,
but you could do this every day if you wanted to. There's just one problem
though...
WARNING:
After You Give a Few Cookies
as Gifts, You Might
Be Overwhelmed with Orders!
If you're already selling cakes, then
you can easily add cookies as an additional menu item. And judging by
the cookie stores that are popping up everywhere, you shouldn't have
any problems selling them by the dozens.
But if you're not selling cakes already,
there's something you should know.
In our experience, once you
give a few of these beautiful, tasty cookies as gifts, people will start
asking you for more.
Remember, most people have never seen
cookies like this before. And those who have, know that the store-made
cookies don't taste as good as home made cookies. So don't be surprised
when they overwhelm you with orders!
In fact, if you've never bought anything
from the cookie stores, you might not realize how important taste is...
Cookies So Good, You Can Sell Them
To Girl Scouts
If you've ever bought from the big
cookie stores -- the ones charging $50-$90 for a bouquet of cookies
-- you'll know two things:
- Their cookies are not only expensive, but also...
- The cookies don't taste home made. Far from it,
in some cases.
It's not hard to figure out why.
I don't have access to their recipes, but it seems
reasonable to assume that the big commercial operations have to make
their dough in large quantities. Maybe even including various chemicals
and preservatives.
All of which can hurt the taste, of course.
Plus the chains make some questionable choices in
their decorating. For example, they commonly use royal icing -- which
looks nice, but is just too hard to bite into.
That's why our cookie videos are like nothing ever
before. In all her years as a cake and cookie decorator, Sam has never
been interested in just making the food look
pretty -- it has to be delicious as well.
That's why her cookies are so popular -- they're
not only beautiful, they taste fantastic!
In fact, the cookies you'll see being made in the
first video were baked in my kitchen. And they were
eaten immediately afterwards by... my Mom!
(We gave her the cookies as part of her 85th birthday
party. She couldn't believe how great they tasted!)

Video Books!
If you've searched for good information
about custom-decorated cookies, then you know it's just not available.

we know, these are the first videos on cookie
decorating on the planet.
You'll see clear demonstrations of

and the easy way to prevent this
Whether you're an experienced baker or have hardly

your dough too thin.

to turn it into a work of art?

Plus, Sam and I have created these videos
especially for you to use at home. That means all ingredients are available
at your local grocery and craft stores, and everything is demonstrated
in a home kitchen. You don't need commercial
tools or appliances.
"Wow!
In typical Sam and Michael fashion, you overdelivered with
your Cookie Decorating Made Easy program.
I'm a baker (and a pretty good one!) but when
it came to replicating those beautiful cookie bouquets that cost
over $50.00 for a bouquet of just six or seven cookies, I was
stumped.
Then after watching the Cookies Made Easy
Videos, the mystery was shattered! Now I know all kinds of little
tips and tricks the professionals use and can
create my own cookie masterpieces for
a fraction of the cost ... and the best part, they were
made with my own hands.
Thanks again for another fabulous
and easy-to-use guide!"

How Much is This Information Worth?
Quite a bit, when you consider that
once you have this information, you can make several cookie bouquets
(worth up to $90) every day.
You might not want to sell your cookies,
but if you did, they can make a great business. That's why it would
normally cost you so much to learn this information from the professionals
currently doing it. (One of the major cookie chains charges $12,500
just for the franchise fee!)
But Sam and I wanted to make these
video books affordable. That's why we're charging only
$47.77 $37.77
-- less than half the cost of one cookie bouquet!
If you place your order today, you
pay only
|
$37.77 for
each volume, or
|
|
only $57.77 for BOTH!
|
How can we charge so little? Because
we can deliver the videos to you electronically, and keep our costs
down. We're passing the savings on to you.
$47.77
$37.77 is a drop in the ocean
compared to the awesome fun you'll have creating (and eating!) gorgeous,
melt-in-your-mouth cookies. Not to mention the ability to make inexpensive,
unique gifts for any occasion.
