Hey all! I'm looking for a forum a saw a while back about how outlining in black can make your cookie look better. I remember there was a gumball cookie shown and I think I clown cookie. Does anyone know where I can find it. I've searched the cookie forum for a while and can't find it. Thanks!
I found it! I just can't walk away when there is a cookier in need.

And talking about black.. anyone tried the "duff goldman" black gel colour? (or any of his colours?)
I did yesterday.. black beside white! (glace) .. I applied the black 12h after the white (was not completly set because it was a huge cookie).. and 36h later.. everything is dry.. and NO bleeding!!
I didn't know Duff sold his own gel colors.
I also saw fondant bucket!

The Duff stuff at Michaels is VERY new. The asiles were just transitioned to have it back at the very end of May. I have not tired his colors, but I did not have any problems with bleeding when I did glaze cookies for my nieces dance bags. I did black on yellow and NO problems at all. I used the Americolor black. But I have used wilton black in buttercream for BCT's and had been told people had problems with it bleeding, but I have had none.
The duff colors look awesome though, I want to try his neon color set. The duff stuff is pretty pricey though, just as an FYI that you don't go into sticker shock so take your coupons.

Pricey?
I've got the big gel colour for 4 dollars and something (don't remember exactly).. Not that bad 
I was reading through this forum and trying to find the answer to a question I have. Hopefully someone can help me. I make sugar cookies and decorate with royal icing. Every time I put black royal icing on my cookies it bleeds into the other colors. I've even tried letting the base color dry first and then applying the black afterwards. It looks perfect at first but, by the next morning the black has ruined my cookies. Can someone please help me? 
Thanks!

Two things to try: 1. Be sure to add some brite white food color to your icing (I prefer Americolor brand. I use about 5-6 drops for every cup of powdered sugar I mix up). 2. If possible, do the black first. For some reason, a wet icing will leach into the dry icing more than the other way around. Since black is the darkest, the adjoining color won't be noticed bleeding into it. Hopefullly.
Thank you so much for your response! So I should add the brite white to "all" my royal icing, even the icing I will be adding color to?
Also, I had heard of doing the black first if possible. But, most of the time the black is needed for piping font or making a face on top of my base coat icing. Thanks again. Christie

The brite white just seems to help the color "bond" better. I always add it before dividing and coloring my icing.
I've never had a problem with black bleeding. I wonder if it's because I usually start my black icing by adding a dark cocoa powder and then need far less colour gel. I have only used Wilton brand do to the availability in my cmmunity. Just a suggestion, it could just be that I'm lucky and my next black batch will bleed all over!!!
The Duff gel colors are AMAZING!! They are about $8 for a set of four, but I always use a coupon to get it half off. I have the primary colors set and the neon colors. I have only used the neon colors and they are so great....so bright and vivid. And it's a little squeeze bottle, which is great because I hate that Wilton comes in a jar! The whole toothpick thing irritates me!! Since I have read that the Duff fondant is actually made by Fondariffic, I am wondering if his colors are actually Americolor?
We just made a cake with the duff fondunt and frosting!!! I use to hate fondunt but his buttercream taste just like buttercream frosting. We will be using black fondunt this weekend on my daughters cake, I will let you know how it tastes.
But a question for cookie makers. we are trying to get a frosting to pipe our cookies with. I just bought the Wilton's piping gel. does that harden to be able to put the cookies into baggies?
Has anyone noticed the black outline bleeding?

I've never had a problem with the black outline bleeding. It probably helps that I do the decorating the first day, and the outlining the second. Mostly, the outline is so fine, there just isn't much there to bleed. It also helps to not tint your icing really black. I tint mine closer to dark gray, but it looks much darker once it's on the cookie.
