I have a Wilton cookie tree kit- it's ancient, but never used it to make a tree. Well I now have 2 orders for these!
Are there any ticks to assembling it?
Do you use the recipes provided?
Are the cookies dipped into the icing- coated on both sides or does the icing just run over the sides?
Help?!

The options are endless. You can use your regular sugar cookie recipe, but the Wilton was formulated to make enough dough for the whole tree.

You can add or subtract layers to make it taller or shorter (I would go shorter, unless they specified how tall and how many cookies.)

You can dip the cookies and let them drip, but I found it was easy to build the tree with plain cookies and royal icing glue to stack them. Once the tree was set ( couple of hours?) I used royal to drizzle, then used sugars or sprinkles to decorate. you could also sugar the cookies in green before you bake them.

Depends on how much time, how much you are charging, and whether or not you are matching a photo. good luck.

Thanks so much for all the info!
I thought I'd try to match the picture on the box cover- iced in green royal with 'snow' and little candy ornaments on the branch ends. I may cut a cookies or two out if you can't tell. I'm only charging $25 per tree.
