January 20, 2017 at 3:15 pmWhat do you do to get rid of the smell of chips from these containers?
Amber & Danetta says
January 23, 2017 at 10:17 amYou know, we found that it didn’t affect it much. We wiped out the cans with a cloth and then they seemed fine. Even tested out leaving a treat in a pickle flavored one for a while and then eating it and it was fine-no pickle flavor!

January 21, 2017 at 3:11 pmI love this idea! I’m saving cans all year to make teacher gifts next Christmas for the school in a low income area that my office supports. I’m planning on manicure supplies, nail polish, and several other goodies. Thanks for a great idea!
Amber & Danetta says
January 23, 2017 at 10:16 amOh that will be really fun!
Anne says
June 10, 2017 at 9:13 amWhat size cookie cutter would you use? As cookies spread whilst baking. I was thinking of obviously using a smaller size cutter than that of the container. Thanks in advance. From the UK.
Amber & Danetta says
June 22, 2017 at 1:04 pmYa, you need them pretty small! We didn’t do cookie cutter cookies, but the kind you make balls and then they spread. But make them smaller than normal.

October 17, 2017 at 1:57 pmNot only are these great ideas/tips for amazing looking cans, but those cookies look perfect for Christmas. Recipe, maybe? 🙂
Amber & Danetta says
October 18, 2017 at 10:32 amOh maybe we will add that to the site! In the meantime, you can use the Funfetti Whoopie pie recipe and just use Christmas sprinkles and then not frost them. Here’s that recipe: https://fun-squared.com/funfetti-whoopie-pies/

November 5, 2017 at 1:55 amYour idea is so cute! I do have a question for you. I would like to get a Cricut, hopefully from Santa, but I don’t know what model to request. I’ve never worked with anything like that before so I could truly be called a novice.
Your thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.
Amber & Danetta says
November 7, 2017 at 7:43 pmSo, we just use the basic Cricut (and love it) like this: http://amzn.to/2yffzKb
They just released a new one though that’s fancier: http://amzn.to/2yepXSp
Haven’t tried that new one yet! But the original is fabulous!

November 18, 2017 at 5:53 pmWere you able to upload the cookie recipe now please Im struggling to work out what the coloured bits are lol Thanks from Australia 🙂
Amber & Danetta says
November 20, 2017 at 8:09 amThey are just sprinkles. So you can use this recipe, but use red and green sprinkles for it: https://fun-squared.com/funfetti-whoopie-pies/
