This may seem totally silly but I haven't done the whole beautiful cookie thing Yet, but was wondering when you are making a cookie boquet how you get them to stay where you put them to get that layered effect? Silly huh?

I've used styrofoam in the past, but I'm sure some other more brilliant CC member will have an even better idea. No such thing as a stupid question here either!

Styrofoam? I thought of that but then I though too, are there different size sticks you can use?

I always use floral foam!!1 Just stick the cookies in to different depths......but I"ve also heard people say that they use those foam noodle things that you use as pool floaties...evidentally they work great!!! They're usually like 2 bucks each at dollar stores in the summer time and one of them is enough for like 10 flower pots!!! I haven't ever used it myself though.
