The first rule in cookie decorating is to remember it’s ONLY A COOKIE!

Here are some basic tips for icing for video tutorials click here:

1. Knead the icing bags before cutting them open to re-blend any separation.
2. Cut the tiniest bit of the tip of the bag off with sharp scissors.
3. Outline your cookie and set it aside for 1-2 minutes before filling it in with icing.
4. Cookies take 12-24 hours to dry completely so leave them out, uncovered to air dry overnight.
5. Royal icing can be stored at room temperature for up to a week and then can be refrigerated or frozen.
6. The entire kit can also be frozen for up to 2 months if you’re not quite ready to jump in!

Here are the descriptions of how to get different effects:

Outlining 

Touch down at the starting point of your outline and lift up. Pretend your icing is a string and guide it where you want it to land from ½-1 inch above your cookie. 

Flooding

Touch down and squeeze holding the tip of your bag close to the cookie following the inside of your outline around and around until you are at the center of your cookie. 

Wet-on-wet

Placing icing on top of still-wet icing so that they meld together at the same height. 

Wet-on-dry

Placing icing on top of already-crusted icing to create dimension and height. 

Wet-next-to-wet

Using wet icing next to still-wet icing so there is no seam between colors. 

Wet-next-to-dry

Using wet icing next to icing that has already crusted. Crusting only takes a few minutes. This is a great technique if you want a seam to show between to colors that are the same or to differentiate between sections. 

Marbling

Using a toothpick or scribe tool to create designs in wet-on-wet icing.
