How Does Freddie, the Frosting Machine Work?
Freddie, The Frosting Machine automatically pipes and floods cookies of nearly any shape using your own royal icing. Freddie leverages an advanced vision system called FreddieView™ and topographic sensors to analyze your specific icing recipe and the surface characteristics of each cookie, calculating the precise amount of icing required and its exact placement. Manual alignment or positioning isn’t necessary, as Freddie’s camera takes a digital photograph of each cookie and plots its outline. The cookie icing machine operates in both carousel and manual modes, with carousel mode being the most efficient. It accommodates up to 12 cookies at a time, and for non-uniform shapes, the included trays ensure proper alignment. Each filled tube will frost approximately three dozen 3.25” cookies at a speed of approximately one minute per cookie.
Print Uniquely Shaped Cookies Using Eddie’s Manual Feed
Eddie comes standard with a carousel for printing round cookies and other shapes; however, manual feed allows bakers to print uniquely shaped cookies like hexagons and plaques one at a time.

Two different types of ink are available; one is approved for use in the USA and Canada, the other for the European Union (EU). Cyan and Yellow are identical in both ink formulations. The only difference is with the composition of the Magenta ink. Learn more.

"Amazing machine! Great customer service and beautiful cookies for my business."
by Karen Martinson
Note: Two different types of ink are available; one is approved for use in the USA and Canada, the other for the European Union (EU). Cyan and Yellow are identical in both ink formulations. The only difference is with the composition of the Magenta ink. The USA Magenta ink contains Red Dyes #3 and #40 and Blue Dye #1, which are not permitted for use in food colorings in the EU. The EU Magenta contains carmoisine, which is not approved for use in food colorings in the USA. To learn which Magenta ink is approved for use in countries other than the USA and Europe, please first check with your local authorities. Or, contact us at Primera. We may have additional information available that is specific to your country.
- What is the price of Freddie? $3995 (USD, MSRP) in the USA. Prices will vary in other countries and territories.
- What does Freddie do? Freddie, The Frosting Machine, is an automated robotic system designed to streamline the process of applying icing to quantities of baked goods. It precisely outlines and fills cookies and other confections with royal icing and similar frostings, eliminating the need for manual piping bags. This technology is particularly beneficial for bakeries and confectioners, aiming to enhance efficiency and consistency in their decorating processes, which helps them to produce higher volumes without the need to add additional staff.
- Can Freddie frost all the way to the edge of my cookies? It can get very close, although just like piping by hand, piping entirely to the edge can be challenging due to many variables. For example, the consistency of your icing will affect the outcome. The distance from the edge can be easily adjusted in Freddie’s software in just a few seconds.
- Can Freddie frost shapes other than circles? Yes! Freddie can frost almost any cookie shape that fits within the specified size range. It uses a high-resolution vision system to take a digital photo of each cookie, ensuring that the frosting is applied accurately based on each cookie’s unique shape. Keep in mind that more highly intricate shapes may present challenges with the required consistency of your icing and how close to the edge you can ice.
- How fast is Freddie? Freddie can frost a 3.25” (83mm) round cookie in around a minute. Freddie isn’t necessarily designed to be faster than manual piping and flooding, Instead, it’s intended to automate a repetitive task, freeing you up for more creative endeavors.
- Can I use my own royal icing? Yes! Freddie works best with royal icing that has an approximately 20 second count. This consistency allows Freddie to control the bead size and apply the right amount of force – around 50 lbs. for piping and 100 lbs. for flooding.
- How many cookies can I frost with one icing tube? For a 3.25” (83mm) cookie, you can expect to frost around 35 cookies per icing tube. Each machine comes with two tubes, and additional tubes can be purchased and pre-loaded with your icing for larger orders.
- What size cookies can Freddie frost? Item Dimensions:
- How many cookies fit on the carousel? Freddie’s carousel holds 12 items between 2.5” (63.5mm) and 4.375" (110mm). The machine also includes six food-grade, dishwasher-safe trays for unique shapes that don’t fit into standard slots. Manual alignment or positioning isn’t necessary, as Freddie’s digital imaging system scans each cookie and plots its outline.
- How do you keep Freddie’s nozzle from clogging between runs? Freddie has a built-in icing capping station for capping the tube between use. Freddie also has a built-in wiping station that dispenses a small amount of frosting and wipes the nozzle before resuming work.
- What operating system does Freddie work with? Windows® 10/11. A Mac version is not planned due to the very high complexity of the digital imaging system utilized in Freddie’s software, which can’t natively be ported to MacOS.
- Does Freddie come with software? Yes, Freddie includes FreddieView software. FreddieView takes a photo of each cookie and displays a proposed frosting path, allowing you to adjust parameters such as piping distance from the edge.
- What safety certifications does Freddie have? Freddie is NSF Certified for commercial kitchen use and has many other safety and EMC certifications, including UL, UL-C, FCC, and CE.
- Is Freddie easy to clean? Yes! Like Eddie, Freddie is made almost entirely of stainless steel, making it suitable for use in commercial kitchens. Only three parts come into contact with icing, and they can be easily removed in seconds for washing. All parts are dishwasher safe, and the maintenance station can be cleaned by soaking it in warm water.
