Hello every one!!! icon_biggrin.gif
I'm new at decorating cookies, and I was wondering if I can use BC for my cookies. I don't really have meringue powder to make the royal icing.
Thanks in advance icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif

I've used Buttercream many times. Let them dry and they will crust but just don't stack them because I don't think the buttercream will hold up very well.

You can use the recipe: Toba Garrett's Glace' icing. It's found in the recipe section here. There is no meringue powder in it.
It works pretty much the same as royal, just takes a little bit longer to dry. And, it is stackable. It has a great shine in the finished product. Some of my cookies (pink ducks, wedding cake, valentine hearts) were made with this icing.

You can do it both ways... I have been doing it right out of the oven - the MMF sort of "melt" onto the cookie (not really melts, more like settles and attaches). BUT, there've been some recent posts about putting them on cooled cookies and rolling it out a bit so the MMF covers more, and that intrigues me.

Here's the thread that got my attention:

I decorate all of my cookies with buttercream. I let them set for about an hour or so and then I stack them. I don't ever have a problem. Look at how many cookies I decorated for Valentine's day in my gallery!! icon_eek.gif
