I've seen the suggestion to outline with RI, then flood with TG. For those who have done this, are there any tricks to making sure the colors match? (I've done some cookie decorating in the past, but am probably at the "advanced beginner" stage, so need all the help I can get!)

I do everything with Toba's. You want to make sure your icing isn't too runny. Then, using a #4 for larger areas and a #2 for smaller ones, pipe a bead of icing around the perimeter of the area to be iced. Immediately fill in with more icing, working in a zig zag pattern or concentric circles (there will be plenty of "naked" cookie showing). Using a tapered, off-set spatula smooth out the icing over the entire area. This will break any air bubbles that are hiding in the icing! The marks from the spatula will disappear as the icing settles.

To outline (which is always my last step, done for detail work), thicken the icing with more powdered sugar until it is the consistency of peanut butter. I use a #1s tip for all my outlining.
