Can you freeze dog treats AFTER they have been decorated with yogurt icing?

I know that freezing dog treats works well, but can you do this after you put icing on them without the icing falling off etc?

You site is WONDERFUL!!!

Thank you in advance for your help.

Chef's Answer ~ It's not recommended. Usually what you'll want to do is make the treats, freeze them, then thaw and decorate. This is true of human cookies as well. I'm not sure if the icing will fall off, but it will definitely get dented or otherwise messed up due to the fact that there will be other treats on top of the decorations.

I hope this helps. Happy Dog Treat Baking! :)

If you cushion them will it work?

I'm going to try this, as we are preparing for a HUGE show in July. Needless to say, we aren't intending on freezing treats for 2 months, but this is a several-day event and with long hours on the sales floor, there's no way we can sell all day and bake all night and live to tell about it!

So I'm going to try frosting the cookies, allowing the frosting to harden, individually bag each cookie in a self sealing zipper sandwich size bag, and put in single layers in a box, with bubble wrap in between and see how this works. I'm thinking we should only worry about having them frozen for 7-10 days or so, it shouldn't be a problem.

I will post how this works out. Thanks for your helpful information!
