I wanted to make cookie Bouques for the administration at my school and I got wiltons poured cookie icing to cover them. My problem is that it poured kind of thinly and you can see the cookie under neath. Heres the recipe:
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
Should I cut back on the milk and/ or add more sugar nextime to thicken it up. I want my cookies to look as beautiful as everyone elses here on CC icon_cry.gif

I only use this recipe and have not had that problem before....for this one, you want to add corn syrup to thin it and not the milk. Try to mix the sugar with the milk first then add the syrup--that should keep it thick. I always have to add more syrup to thin mine out. Let me know how you do....

Sorry, I've never used that recipe.

But here's a how-to cookie bouquet thread that has threads which discuss the different icings:

I would add whitening to your icing. It stops it from being "clear". You can get it at Michaels or AC Moore. The Wilton brand is fine. I think you will find it does the trick!

Adding the whitening will also help keep the icing from developing cloudy spots. I don't know why, but it does, and I thank the CC'er who gave me this tip!

sorry, I've never had that problem. I was wandering though if you could decorate on top of the poured cookie icing with antonia's royal icing. Didn't know if the royal would break down or anything strange like that.
