I am new here! I love making cookie bouquest, but, I would like to know what is the easiest way to flood the cookie and then pipe decorations? Does anyone use the bottles instead of the bags for their RI? Seems like it would be easier to keep in the bottle when you are through. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am all for easy! Thanks.

i did this with baseball cookies for my boyfriend's softball fundraiser (pics coming soon!) and i used a bottle to flood them then bags to decorate them. worked nice and it felt like it went a lot quicker. oh and did i mention i had the flu with a 103 fever while doing these. icon_smile.gif

I also use the bottle for flooding, then the bags for decorating with RI.

Do you keep the flooding RI in the bottle when you are through using it? When you need to use it again do you just shake it up, and are there not any bubbles in it? When you are through with the bags, you clean them out and make new RI for next batch?

I also started using the bottles for flooding and bags for the detail. It does seem to go much quicker.

I wasn't sure how the RI would be if left in the bottles so I ended up sqeezing everything into a bowl to store. Maybe someone else has a tip as to whether we can kee RI in the bottles.

You can definitely leave RI in the bottle. Just make sure to cap it or cover the opening. And when you go to use it again, you have to remix it if it has seperated. thumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gif

Is this the same kind of bottle you would use if you were using melted chocolates? icon_confused.gif

I know this sounds silly, but, after it has sat in the bottle, if it is separated, can I shake the bottle to remix it or will that make bubbles in the RI?

reesesob ~ The bottles I use are the same as the ones I use for melted chocolate. They come with a twist on cap and you can put your own tips on them.

ladycake ~ That would seem like it would make it sooo much easier to reincorporate all the ingredients! I've tried it though and the RI was too thick to mix itself back together icon_sad.gif
