I want to top cupcakes with a cookie upon which I will frost black music notes. I will decorate them on Thursday to use on Friday at a party. 

I am using store bought black icing from a tube. Maybe vanilla wafers? Low fat perhaps because they are harder?

Thank you.

Cookies are generally frosted with royal icing, which develops a hard skin on the surface, and it does not spread.  I have no idea how buttercream will work, but I guess that harder the cookie the better.

I think the problem is that icing   Try scraping it out of the tube & mixing w/2x the amount of white   Those tube icings are *super* saturated with color:)     I cut the back end off

If you need to use the tube to write w/pack some icing in & tightly close it w/a clamp?
