Bunny, I gave up on all those special icing things ages ago. I put the frosting in a Ziplock bag, (snack size) seal it up and then cut the corner off with a sharp knife to create a nozzle honed to the task. if I don't know what size i want, I start small and work up. I know I never post pics, but I make quite a lot of special cake and draw/write with frosting fairly often. I use one bag for each color and just toss them when I'm done.

I agree with monster. I feel like I've gone through every new fangled frosting bag in the world, and nothing works as well as a good ol' Ziploc. Sure you can't get ridged edges or anything, but if you just want a straight line it works really well.

you can put shaped cones/icing nozzles in the corner of the bag if you want stars/flowers/whatever. if you just want texture, make the frosting thicker -you can do this with bags where you can't with some proper equipment systems.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll tell y'all how things go after I'm done with them.

Wow girl. Those are so fantastic!! My oldest daughter had a fit when I showed her the pic. She is going to try to make some too!

Happily, the party was a succes, but I'm still so tired from it. It took both my sister and I three days to finish 60 something cookies. Actually, we still need to outline the eyes of the yellow Angry Birds. However, we ran out of time, and frankly, we were both too doggone tired.

Lola, those are fantastic!

Lola you and your sister are very gifted.
I can now see why you were disappointed with the first batch.
Those are so good you better hope the copyright people don't get wind of them.

monster · 10-23-2011, 03:16 PM

Those are amazing. you should find a bakery to sell them, for sure!

limey · 10-23-2011, 03:31 PM
