Basic Tutorial

1. Make royal icing. Recipes are HERE.

2. Divide the icing into the airtight containers.


3. Add a desired food coloring to the icing and mix well to ensure that the color is uniform and to eliminate white streaks. (Suggest you add just a tiny drop at a time)
4. Fill a pastry bag with piping icing. (since royal icing dries out very quickly, keep the piping tip with damp paper towel or sponge)
5. Fill a plastic squeeze bottle with flooding icing.
6. Outline a cookie with the piping icing bag and then fill it up with flooding icing.
