Amazing video. Thank you for sharing all of those details.
This the most helpful video I’ve seen so far! Thank you!
Awesome! So glad it was helpful for you!
Super helpful! Thank you SO much. I just purchased a pico, cords, and flexible holder-thingie. Excited to bring my cookie decorating to the next level. Thank you!
Yay! Nice to hear thanks! Happy decorating :)
This is perfect - been wondering how to do this to my cookies - thank you
By far best video! From start to finish. Very informative. Thank you!!!!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful for you😊
Absolutely fantastic tutorial! Everything I needed to know in less than ten minutes! :)
Thank you for such a clear well done video!
Great tutorial. How to from start to finish.
Great video! I saw your post on the Cookie Stencil post on FB regarding silk screen/stenciling. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos and help on that site. Thank you. Now I want a Pico. I'm new to cookie decorating. Thanks for sharing!!!
Awww....thank you! I'm so glad they've been helpful :)
Wow this is so cool. Im definitely gunna try this
Thank you sooo much for this video I’m getting my Pico today and I totally needed something like this! 🤗💜🤗
Your welcome! I hope it's been working for you! Happy decorating :)
This is a great opportunity to learn, nice vídeo 😊👍 thank you for sharing; God bless you 🙏💜
I've been doing some research on using pico projectors to decorate cookies. After I saw this video and your use of the Camera Lucida app I got curious and looked into the app. Turns out, the app is a tracing app used by others for cookie decorating. I've decided to forgo the $120+ projector altogether and just use the $6 app to decorate my cookies. Thank you for the video!
MCx10 would love to know how you got on with this app please ?
@@gaillockey2260 I purchased it from the apple app store. You can search Camera Lucida right here on youtube and find videos on how to use it. They also have a website: cameralucidaart.com
Is there an android version? I can't seem to find it. Thanks!!
Great video! Thank you for such detailed information 😊
This was awesome. Thank you.
I’m so glad I decided to watch this for numerous reasons! Thanks for the extra tips. I didn’t know about Dafont and I might check into that phone holder! Also, I’m glad to know that mine isn’t the only one with a wiggly/finicky wire
And the short lived battery!
And I was totally half asleep and got the app wrong! 🤣
Thank you so much perfect tutorial for me as I was very unsure how to go about this process.
So helpful thank you I just ordered mine there’s good and bad reviews on all projectors I just went with this one.thank you for the tips! & I subscribed
I am just getting started in decorating cookies and kept gearing about the Pico and your video was 1 I clicked on...I'm Soooooo happy I did!! You're the first to show how to turn the image around! You have a lovely clear way of demonstrating! I look forwards to getting more tips and tricks from you! Thanks for sharing your gifts with us!!
Christine Shadd thank you 😉 good luck with yours!
This was SUPER helpful, thank you so much :D
Yay! I'm glad😉
I'm going to attempt to make cookies for my daughters birthday. I definitely won't be doing this because this is NOT my lane.. but this was so great to watch!!
Debating on whether to purchase a projector. If and when I do this will really help me with setting it up. Thank you for sharing.
Very good video!
This is awesome
Thank you, very helpful!
Thanks so much! This was very helpful.❤️
Oh good!! I'm glad 😉
This was very helpful thank you!
Oh good! I'm glad!!

Now i want this pico projector lol 🙌🏼❤️
And I got it for Christmas woooo!
Yay! Have fun! Happy decorating 😉
Thank you for sharing!
Sweet Sugar Laine thank you for this informational tutorial. Easy to understand and I got everything working first time from your generosity of sharing. I subscribed and I'm a huge fan. Again thank you so much!!
Thank you😊
So helpful!
Awesome! Glad it helped!
So helpful...thanks
Thank you!
Thanks for this tutorial! One question. Is the power cord you mentioned the black cord with the mini-USB on one end and the 2 USB connectors on the other end? If so, does this get plugged into the boxy USB type plug that comes with the ipad? Thanks!
Thank you.
You did a phenomenal job with this video! I'm just getting onto cookie decorating as a hobby and need some help please.
Could you share your cookie and icing recipes please? I have tried a few and am really discouraged by what I've tried. Also, any suggestions on bags and tints?
Thanks so much for selflessly sharing with me and helping me be more confident 🥰
Thank-you! Good to hear :) I don't share my cookie recipe but I would recommend LiLoa's recipes and Sugarbelles recipes. Sugarbelle's is like a shortbread, really yummy! The icing recipe I use if from the Creative Cookier....google Genie's Dream royal icing recipe.
I use tipless bags either from Grunderfully Delicious or from The Sweet Design Shoppe
I generally use Americolor gel colors or Rainbow Dust Progels, or some of the Master Elite dust colors from The Sugar Arts.
Hopefully this guides you in some good directions :)
Thank you ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
lol doodoo. seriously thought thanks for the tutorial!
What do to resize is copy the image then I paste it onto a Microsoft document. Much easier for me to resize.
Thank you so much for your video. It’s very informative.
Is that the 4” thank you plaque cookie cutter you are using?
Excellent video. Thx
Thank you 😉
This was extremely helpful! I'm brand new to this hobby but am eager and just craving to learn it all! I wondered how the handwriting/words with the raised frosting was done! Where can you purchase your projector and could you list the apps/sites that you mentioned in your tutorial? Thank you so much!
Phonto was the first app she mentioned and Camera Lucinda was the second app. She gets her fonts from Dafont. I hope this helps.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am having a little bit of issues as I am using Android, but you certainly got me started. Could I ask what font you used for the "Thank You"?
Thank you so much for this video! I followed it easily until I got to the hdmi. I order a regular not a mini ;( so now I have to wait to continue until I get the mini... but thanks again it's an awesome video... I also have the same counter top as you do. haha.
I'm so glad it helped you! It took me awhile to get it all figured out so I'm happy to help save some of the trouble and grief for others :)
Hi Meredytdh, I purchased your thank you cutter (Love it!). I have just done freehand so far but am now using my pico. Im actual using my Mac instead of an iPad and I have downloaded a bunch of fonts to pages. What font is your "Thank You" ? Once I know the I can just download the font to use it with your cutter in pages. Thanks
Hey there Cheryl! Sorry, just saw this....the font for this cutter is "Girls are Weird" it's on Dafont.
Sweet Sugar Laine
Whoa, so how do I buy this cutter? Did I miss a link somewhere?
@@angelbynature623 if you would like one message me on my Sweet Sugar Laine FB page....thanks!
Thank you.what consistency do youwtite with
Can you write down the 2nd choice of Micheals that you mentioned?
I have a Google Pixel 2 phone, the Adapter for my Port which is C port but I'm not having luck projecting from my phone. I can use a USB drive and project pictures from there but I want to be able to use these projects
Is the cell phone holder in your description holding the Pico Pocket Projector?
Great Video! Can you tell me the font you are using and is that a special cutter? Really cute!
Hi there, thank-you! .....the font is "Girls are Weird" on Dafont.com .......the cutter is available for purchase on my website www.sugarlainecutters.com
Thank you so much for doing this video. Could you possibly add a link for those edible ink pens that you use on the cookies?
Thank you!
Hey there...the edible pens that I use are the light brown ones from Sugarbelle. You can buy them at Michaels or on Amazon. This link will show the ones that they are. Glad that you enjoyed the video :)
www.amazon.com/American-Crafts-374085-Sugarbelle-Template/dp/B01FV62CH6/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539952804&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=sugarbelle+edible+marker
Can you link everything I’ll need to buy to be able to hook up to my iPad please?
Fantastic video. I'm thing of buying the Pico. Please tell me what size tip was used for piping, I need to practice my piping skills before I make a purchase but I have plenty of time now... Right!
I'm not using tips in the video...I use tipless bags. It would probably be around a size 1 tip. I get my tipless bags from Grunderfully Delicious in California. You can also get them from lots if other sources. Just google "tipless icing bags".
Excellent video... Thnx...
Which is the right consistency for writing? How many seconds would be that? 😉
Lorena Carrizales some one told me to think of the consistency of toothpaste
@sweetsugarlane are you still using the Pico ? If not what are you using now? Thank you for the informative video
Does this also work good for cakes?
Does the mini hdmi connect to a bigger hdmi? I don’t understand the two. Thank you!
It's one cable that has a regular sized HDMI on one end and a mini HDMI in the other end.
This projector gets the job done pretty well. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.
Hi there! I was wondering if the phone mount in your video is still holding up? I've been thinking about getting an Arkon as my first mount. But as you probably already know, theyre $125. but i also heard that they last practically forever. Thoughts on that? :)
Yes! Believe it or not....I still use it all the time😉 I use it and my arkon in conjunction. The arkon holds my phone for filming and the other one holds my pico if I'm needing the projector.
Awesome tutorial! One question why use the projector when you have Lucida, both does the same thing right?
thank-you! Hmmm...you can use the Lucida app I believe to get images onto cookies. However I use it mostly for manipulating my designs (bigger, smaller, rotated) I've never tried the Lucida app on it's own.
The Lucida App is a great app but it doesn't project the image onto the cookie like the Pico does. If you use the tablet stand she has for her Pico you can put it directly over the cookie and decorate it by looking through your tablet, using the camera. It's not hard to do it this way but it does take some time to get use to. That's how i currently use the Lucida App on my ipad.
SOOOO helpful ! thank you , now I will order one . what was that website you used ? for the fonts ? camera .......something ? thanks for a great video !
Camera Lucida....fonts I get from dafont.com
I don't have an iPad, so can I still use?? What do I connect it to?
Great video! I just received the Pico for Christmas and will be experimenting with it. Thanks for the tutorial. I was wondering which app for Camera Lucida you're using...Fino - Camera Lucido (free) or Camera Lucido AR for $.99? The Phonto app is geared towards Aple and I have an Android phone & tablet. I'll have to seek out an app for that portion. Thank you!
Hmmmm...the one that I'm using is version 9.1. Probably the .99 one? Hopefully there is a comparable app for the Android??
TL Ray, did you find an app similar to Phonto for android?
What meringue powder do you use for your icing when making for writing?
I use Genies Dream meringue from the Creative Cookier. I make all my icing with it....and then just thin it to the consistency I need.
Can I use it with a iPhone vs the iPad??
Do you ever use a tip for your icing? I find just cutting the bag it doesn't cut properly? What bags do you use? Thanks!
When I first started I did use tips. But within a few months I switched to tipless bags. Not all bags are created equal! Some tipless bags have a big seam that can cause issues with the icing coming out smoothly. A few shops that I would recommend are: The Sweet Design Shoppe - her 30 micron small bags.....Truly Madly Plastics - their medium or small ....Grunderfully Delicious - small bags
It is also important how you cut your bags....flatten the bag so that the seam is running up the top side of the bag (when you get them the seam will be flat along the edge of the bag) ...then flatten the seam out as best you can to the very tip. Then you will cut a tiny snip across the end perpendicular to the seam. I hope all that makes sense! It's kinda hard to explain :)
@@SweetSugarLaine would be great to find a supplier in the EU. The shipping cost just for few bags would be around 30USD for me, plus taxes. Most of the info online, and the products one wishes to buy is from the states. If anyone out there knows a good, reliable supplier from the EU, please post it here. Thanks.
If you don't mind me asking, is there a certain "second" frosting you use for lettering? I'm just starting to get into decorating cookies and its so hard for me to get right consistencies!
Yes...there are a few consistencies. Your piping icing is thicker and can be used for outlining and text. Then your flood is much thinner.
Go to my friend Stephanie's channel...Little Cookie Co. She has some great beginner videos. I haven't had a chance to get a consistency video done yet 😉 consistency is definitely the biggest hurdle when starting. Don't worry, it gets easier with practice!
@@SweetSugarLaine thank you so much!!
What font syle did you use for the "Thank You" text? If you don't mind me asking.
Tessa Charley It might be "boys r gross" or "girls r weird"
It's Girls are Weird on Dafont
Trying to find the Lusita camera app you used
but not sure if I am spelling it right.
Its spelled... Lucida
I'm confused why you need the Lucida app if you have the pico projector. Is it strictly to manipulate the size of the picture/words? Thanks!
Yes! Strictly to manipulate images...I find I can get it smaller and I love being able to rotate the image easily. There could very easily be other programs out there that do this as well. 😉
Hi, I am assuming that the pico projector can be hooked up to a Samsung Galaxy s7 or s8 device. Is that correct?
Hey there! I just played around with trying to hook up my Samsung Note 9....I don't have the right adapters to try it. You need an adapter that goes from the mini HDMI and whatever goes into your phone. I'm assuming that all Samsung phones use that new micro B usb end? So you will have to either check on Amazon if such an adapter exists or go talk to the people at a Best Buy or some store similiar. Good luck!
Ok...im getting confused bc Im trying to use my new Pico WITHOUT the lucida app. The lucida app is usable witjout the pico.... And ove seen people use the pico without the app but not on android only on iphone.
Maybe bc Im trying to use it on my phone only.
Im going to keep researching bc I really want my ohone to be free when im doing this and only want to use the pico.
Hmmmm....depending on the pico I think you can use a SD card? But I've seen people say that it's a little restrictive using it that way. You have to have the design saved on the card the exact size you need (which could be tricky)
If you have a Bluetooth pico then you can hook up your phone without the cords....but you are still going to have to use your phone to project the image. I'm really not sure if there is any other way to use the pico on its own without your phone?
@@SweetSugarLaine Hi. Thank you so much. Sorry for the confusion. I meant that Ive seen people use the pics in their phone with the Pico. But they never used the lucida app with the phone and the pico.
Thank you for everything! Hoping what I got works. 💜💜😘😘
@@LifeWithAlliDaily ahhh yes! You totally can! I just use the lucida app for better manipulation of the photos. I'm able to reduce the image size better with the app. I'm sure you will be fine without it!
Great tutorial. Thankyou! How did you get the cookie cutter to fit that text?
I have a 3D printer and printed the cutter to go with the text.
@@SweetSugarLaine Please do a You Tube on THAT!!!
@@ablyth269 on making cookie cutters?
@@SweetSugarLaine Yes!! Would love to see what hardware and software you are using and how involved it is to make your own cutters!! Thanks for the response!!
Just came across this video. Have you figured out how to keep the setting of projecting it front so it's not upside down? Instead of having to do it every time you turn on the projector? Thanks.
Ana Horan no, I’ve never found a way to keep the settings. It is a pain!
Mine won’t cut on while plugged in.
Thank you so much, could you please tell the thickness you use in the icing because I’ve tried many times and its not working with me ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Icing consistency is definitely the tricky part to decorating cookies!
The best thing I would recommend is to search for videos on TH-cam where different decorators will show how to make the different consistencies.
Good luck!
Has anyone located the adapter on Amazon for type C port?
I have. Let me find the link.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076F2QDHH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
hello where can o find the cables?
Can you tell
Me the name of the stand you have for the projector or the link so I can buy it please
In the description under the video are the links to everything. This particular stand is no longer available on Amazon but there are similar ones available. Just click the link to go to Amazon and scroll down and they will recommend similar products.
Soo I’m a little confused (not unusual) you need to hook up the pico to both your phone & iPad?
No, just to your ipad
Good afternoon I was wondering do you happen to know what hdmi you’re using?
If you head to my amazon store I have it in there....www.amazon.com/shop/sweetsugarlaine
Can you use the pick projector connected to your iPhone?
I don't see why not? I don't have an iPhone, but I'm sure I've seen people doing that.
Can I connect this to my iPhone since I don’t have an ipad
I would think so! I don't have an iphone but I would think that it would work.
My Phonto doesn’t look like yours did you have to purchase something so Defont will upload there?
Hey....no I didn't? Purchase anything....if you are on Instagram, I did a little video on how I get it from dafont to phonto. The video is way down my feed and is from October 2019. There is a pink background and lots of words....photos around it are bags of icing, poodle skirt, one in a melon set and a hamburger. Hopefully that will help!
Literally just saw an insta ad where they used a clip of you tracing the thank you to advertise this Trace n Draw optical screen thing that has nothing to do with the pico 🙄
Do you know if you can use texts from Cricut ?
I don't see why not...I've used text from many places :)
I have everything hooked up and for some reason it’s telling no Signal. I already switched out my hdmi cable to see if that’s the problem but it’s not that and everything is pressed firmly idk what’s the problem Is my adapter broken? It’s not showing any sign of wear or tear.please help
Did you get it to work? Are you using an Apple brand connector to connect the HDMI to your iPad or phone?
@@SweetSugarLaine I wasn’t, I hooked up my av adapter to my TV and it didn’t work so I’m assuming that it’s my av adapter so I bought a new one hoping it will help I’ll know by today when I get it in the mail if the new av adapter works because the one I had I never used in my life until that day
@@ODY0319 hmmm…i know that the little white connector that I use in the video has to be an Apple brand to make it work, they are around $50. I had tried a few that I had at home and it wouldn’t work with my iPad
@@SweetSugarLaine that’s so weird, because they’re both apple products. I just hope the new adapter works both my iPad and phone
@@ODY0319 ugh! Well let me know.....hopefully it works!
Can I use this with a laptop just the same?
you should be able to .....I've seen other people doing it..
Does it come with the stand?
No...the projectors don't come with stands
Is this something a beginner should invest in?
Its definitely a game changer when it comes to getting text on a cookie. I've been doing this almost 3 years and I still don't put text on a cookie without it.
I got mine probably a few months after I started and use it for just about every set I do.
can you use an iphone as well ?
I believe so....I use an android so I can't confirm 100%
Sweet Sugar Laine i’ll just use my Ipad 😁, thanks !
I don’t see the hmdi option :(
I plugged everything and n and mine says no signal? Any ideas
Miranda Colatruglio mine does that sometimes as well! I usually wiggle the connector at the top of the pico and it will work. Have you used it before?
What font is this please?
Its Girls Are Weird...on Dafont
What font is Thank You in?
"Girls are Weird" off Dafont
The camera lucida app is it $9.99
And has been well worth it for me😉 I use it pretty with every set of cookies I do
What is the font you used for the thank you cookie? I love it:)
Zona Kinzel Girls Are Weird on Dafont
@@SweetSugarLaine, I don't see that particular font on Dafont.com. Can you help? Thanks.
