You are so talented! Your cookies look incredible. I wish that I had the patience to do that! Do you use a paint brush?
I use piping bags and toothpicks mostly. I outline in black with a number 2 tip (but usually use a coupler in that bag in case I want a smaller or bigger tip) The rest of the bags I don't use tips I just cut a little bit of the end off of the bag. If it is a really small area or I am going for a fine line of detail I use a toothpick dipped in icing or just in the color gels. Thank you so much for stroking my ego. =)
Thank you so much. There really isn't any special trick to it....But if anyone is interested, I could take some pictures next time I make a cookie at each stage so that you can see how I do it. Mostly I work in small areas on the cookie at a time, because I layer it while the icing is still wet and hasn't started to set. I really like the "flat" look as opposed to the "3-d" layering. Dont be afraid to experiment and try new things....you never know how it might turn out. I didn't think I could do cookies, before I tried them. =) LOL. Now cakes on the other hand....LOL.....don't even get me started! 
Very cute cookies! Do you have cutters for those, or do you use a template? They are adorable! And so detailed. I don't have that much patience for the details! Very very cute!
Wonderful job on all of the cookies!!!
My kids would vote me best mom ever if I could make those Backyardigan cookies, they came out incredible, such great detail!!
One question..........Do you cook with your boinga? (sorry a little Backyardigan, Mission to Mars joke!)
I know I'm sad! 
faaaanntastic !!!!
( figuratively of course , lol )
Thank you everone... my ego is feeling nicely stroked! LOL.....
To answer some questions I use a template. Someday I may try to make my own cutters....but that seems like a lot of work and bandaids! LOL
Plus I only do these for fun, to see if I can....then my family eats the work. =) I use the picture I want to do as a guide then I draw it onto the cookie with icing (honestly I can only draw in icing with a picture right in front of me....when it comes to a pen and paper...foget about it!) I want to make cookie ornaments as presents for people this year, so when I get my butt in gear to do that I will try and make a "tutorial" of sorts for anyone who is interested. Thank you again for the comments.
Okay ya'll, I have a new washer coming on Monday (mine started leaking out the bottom), so i have to get the house ready for that before I can do anymore baking, but then you can bet your sweet bippies I will do another cookie......=) with tutorial. =) oh and yes My cookies won a blue ribbon each....you can read about it here....LOL....
