what can i write names on biscuits with?
|
|
| Hmmm.... not using icing really limits your options. How about scribing the name into the cookie dough before baking? Since most dog biscuit recipes shouldn't puff up when baking, the lettering may still be legible when they leave the oven.
You could wrap in cellophane and write names on with metallic marking pens. Or, make up small name tags and wrap around the biscuit with colored string. |

food doodler pens They are like magic markers for food, maybe something like that would work, I've personally never used them. |
| Going off pp's suggestion, wilton has cutters with letters of the alphabet that you can press in before baking. |
| You could melt carob chips and pipe them onto the biscuits... |
| i tried melting doggie chocolate drops today but they puffed up and didnt liquify. i dont really want to write the names on them before i cook as i will have to do all the batch with names.
would it be so wrong to use icicng sugar as it will only be such a small amount? ill have a look for the pens too tomorrow ill get some carab drops and try melting them. i have carab powder but i am not sure what to do with it. tried it in the biscuits and they were horrible, dogs didnt like them either! 
thanks everyone for your suggestions, keep em coming! ive got dog stockings with toys, chews and biscuits for the regulars, smaller ones for new dogs with expensive hair cuts and the bones are for all them that come out of the woodwork, who only get their dog groomed at christmas, or cant get in where they normally go. ive only been going a few months but i aim to keep any newcomers! |
| unless their names are like Humphrey H. Scuttlebut I doubt if the small amount of icing is a problem - and it can be scraped off. |

Just How BIG are these cookies!! 
I personally think if these are for 'emergency' customers that you hadn't planned on giving gifts to - make the cookies plain and have them in sellophane bags that you can label with their names - maybe on a bone shaped tag? I'd use you again as a customer if I lived closer and got cookies for my dogs at Christmas  |

A small amount of sugar would be okay. Some artificial sweeteners (like sorbitol) can be toxic. |
| going to go with the icing as like you said it can be scraped off, but may i ask as i dont really do much cake cooking. do i mix it with yogurt or just water?
i will be putting them in all the stockings too, not just for the new comers. the biscuits are about 6" long, ive got paw prints too. i make them every week, they go down well! i just change the flavours every now and again, i do peanut butter, carab, and beef. |
| i would use an already tubed icing with a writing tip - much easier and less messy. |
| I am not a cook so if this is a really dumb idea, please excuse me, but could you just use flour and water to make a paste and put that through an icing tube? That would omit all the sugar and dairy. |
| hmmm.. another good idea! going to do the tubes of icing sugar, that way i can write on it when the dog first comes it and it will be set when it goes out!
thanks everyone x |

jill thats not a bad idea...but i would make more of a rue...flour and butter...heated in a pan to make a paste and cook out some of the flour taste and add some food color....use a piping bag..... |
Cream cheese might work  |

yea i was thinking ez cheese |
if you make the flour pastey stuff maybe you could mix in some liver sprinkles or mix instant potato mash with either carob or liver sprinkles or use yoghurt and gelatine powder.....  |
