Is there a thread that discusses just flooding? I had a terrible time trying to get mine pretty with flooding...I was also afraid to make the RI too think because I needed to stack them the next day and was afraid they wouldn't be set enough. |

Hi, I love making cookies and I'm also a perfectionst so, it's a long process for me 
I use royal icing and fondant accents, but had used fondant in the past. Fondant looks so neat! 
Tip #1: I never add baking powder to the cookie recepie to prevent them from loosing its shape when I bake them.
Tip #2: after you cut the cookie put it in your baking sheet and in the freezer for about 4mnts. This keeps them from spreading when I bake.
Good luck! |

I use RBC also on my cookies. I roll it between parchment paper also and cut it out. Then put it in the freezer. Once the cookies come out of the oven, you remove the already cut RBC and put it on the cookie while hot (just like with fondant). Freezing the RBC makes it so much easier to handle!!! |

I tried rbc once and I had a horrible time. I am getting better with RI. I just love decorating cookies.... 
-I use NFSC and have also made Pennys cookies.
-I use parchment paper to roll out and line cookie sheets
I am enjoying the practice.
BTW.. my 4 year old twin daughters are also catching the cookie decorating bug. |

I'm guessing that you're using Wilton paste. I had the same problem the first time I decorated cookies. Of course, I immediately consulted CC and found that you can get a great black color by adding dark cocoa powder to the dark gray icing. You may have to add a little more water if it makes the icing too stiff. Mix it in until it's almost black. It will get darker over time.
This is what it will look like.
