I'll be in BYOC on and off, and am registered with the cookie brigade, so I'll find you, somehow, and demand space invader rootbeer candies. And possibly barter a forum coin in trade. Or donate. Or something. One way or another.. I MUST have these

Root beer is therefore reasonably popular in new england because we used to get it off tap with a head, much less sweetness, and a normal beer alcohol content some 80 years ago.
So.. yea. Root beer. Do it!

They get coated in powdered sugar and a little bit of citric acid to keep them from sticking together.
Top Row Left to Right: Grape, Strawberry, Orange
Bottom Row Left to Right: Blue Raspberry, Pina Colada and Lemon
So six batches done, this will make about 96 bags (six pieces per bag, one of each flavor). I'll maybe try to do one more batch of each before PAX East to double that number and I'll do at least one batch of the root beer, probably 3 per bag for those so 32 bags.
Definitely not going to make as much as I did last year, there was so much left over I ended up taking some home even after leaving a ton for the enforcers.
those look great! I wasn't sure if they were soft or hard sucking-candies. Can't wait to track you down and drop some cash for my crew when I'm not off selling mine.
Excited to see what everyone will have!

Thanks!
Remember, we need both Bakers (the creators of cookies) and Distributors (those who hand out cookies to the people) to make this possible! If you're interested in doing either of those things, please sign up today!
As a long time distributor, I can assure you that there's few things that compare to distributing at PAX: you meet so many wonderful and generous fellow gamers, and you witness truly interesting situations! It's really an experience not to be missed, and we would greatly appreciate your help!
What did you use to make your cookie-cutter? What fun shapes are you doing!?
I made hexes of various sizes. Have to finish costumes first, since too early to start the cookies anyway.
On the left, birthday cake-flavored Oreos. On the right, inverted Oreos in inverted chocolate chip cookies (chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips). I also have ones using candy cane Oreos, peanut butter Oreos, mint Oreos, and even a few with berry Oreos. I already have ~400 baked and plan on at least 100 more.

I am hoping to have an email out to everyone from the survey who identified they wished to distribute soon with necessary information. I'm in the process now of trying to organize that data.
As far as quantity got for whatever you're comfortable making/carrying with you to PAX.
Can't wait to get it
I've been giving myself diabeetus through osmosis making candy. I have a couple more batches to do and still need to make the root beer ones. Its been a crazy couple weeks around my house.
Now worries glad to have you guys back on board! Are you registered on the brigade website already?
So true! Every time I open the powdered sugar for the frosting, I inhale a hearty amount accidentally. Starting the batter-making Sunday/Monday, baking hopefully Monday/Tuesday and beyond. Then frosting the cookies Thursday/Friday/Weekend until everything is done
We usually have people that make sugar free and gluten free cookies. So always ask the distributor.
I've tried to make sugar free candy but I didn't have much luck last year with splenda and sugar free syrup, it apparently has a weird boiling point and getting it hot enough is a pain.
First attempt at Triforce sugar cookies! Right now they're in "testing phase" to get the recipe just right and to see how sturdy they are. Hopefully, they don't all break in transit... If it turns out they're too fragile, I have a backup plan!
If you are registered on the brigade site there is a thread for liaison sign up, we can always use more people.
Those are awesome!
All they need is yellow frosting
I just made some cake batter rice crispy treats. I'm pretty happy with them. They will be amongst my offerings this year.
I have some bubble wrap, I'm just afraid that the baggage handlers will literally throw my box that's going to say "FRAGILE" all over it. If nothing else, people will at least get to piece together their own triforce! I think I'll be able to stiffen up the recipe a little and get it so no one should have to worry about breaking them, though.
There was a pretty good study a year or so ago that indicated that packages marked 'Fragile' were routinely subjected to higher forces than packages not marked as such. I suggest that, in order to keep them safe, you eat all of them. That way they will never be broken during transport.
Those look frickin AMAZING!

oh I so need to snag some of these for the boyfriend!
I've read that your best bet for getting baggage through a trip with the least damage is to use luggage with wheels. When they load the plane, one person tosses the bags from the entry point to the end of the cargo area to be stacked by another person. If your bag has wheels, they'll push it so it rolls to the other person. Ta-da. Less damage. That's what I've heard, at least. YMMV
