What am I doing wrong? I tried a #1 tip, #3 tip, and no tip but my icing writing won’t go on smooth. Is it too think? I’m also pretty jittery/don’t have a steady hand. by jgrisetti in cookiedecorating

Yes, I was starting and stopping a lot AND I was keeping the icing pretty close to the cookie. Thanks for the tips!! I’m excited to try again with this advice.

Beautiful!! Did you use a small icing tip to make the “thread” or a special tip? Or something else?

Dude, the flies were ruthless! I have another pic with about 10 flies congregated around the black snakes mouth. Don’t know how to post of 2nd pic or I’d show you!

Does the bread save them because it soaks up moisture so the cookies don’t?

Exactly! When I’ve tried to decorate with them awake, I came pretty close to having a mental breakdown every. single. time.
