Thank you for not editing out the part where the tulip outline broke! I think most agree that best teachers are those who are human enough to accept mistakes and accidental boo boos, and proceed to explain a way to fix, avoid, or improve them. I’m going to decorate some Easter cookies, this week. I’m a visual learner, and your tutorial has been awesome! Thank you, again! 💞💜🐣

[@JessieMouse8]

My piping skills are awful right now. I'm a total newbie. I'm like will I ever get this right haha?! These are super cute!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes!!! You will!! Trust me, we all go through that, it just takes practice and learning some good tips. And thank you!!!

Aww thank you so much!! And I always struggle with colours, so I appreciate that a lot 🥰

[@lauraski2858]

Spring and Easter time are my favorite cookies to do. Thank you for your great tutorials! You are my mentor. I learned how to use royal icing from you and I’m much more comfortable at it now because of you! These are darling.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yay!! I love hearing that!! Thank you so much 🥰🥰 I struggled coming up with ideas this year but loved how they turned out!

[@donnagreen565]

[@alisontaber9674]

Many thanks, I’ll be using this as I try piping for this time this coming week and many thanks for going slow. Many experienced pipers are generous with demonstrating their skills but go a little fast and I must admit I have been avoiding having a crack at it.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Just make sure to have fun and don't be hard on yourself! The first time doesn't always go perfect, but it's good because then you know what you need to improve on. I have tons of tutorials and lots of tips as well if you search my playlsits that may help in the future when you need to solve specific problems!

[@nadinekore6308]

You're so inspiring! I'm a beginner over here and I've finally settled on a cookie recipe! My next step is now the icing consistency... 🤓Every set of cookie teaches me a lot! And they're delicious... I'm gonna get sick!

Thank you 😊

[@pamydosy]

So beautiful! I struggle so much with proper consistency.

[@LittleCookieCo]

It's the hardest part to get right because there's no exact measurement and even if there was it's hard to get 100% perfect. Getting the right consistency helps a lot, but even if it isn't perfect, it's learning to use the it when it's not exactly what you want and knowing if it's way off to remix it. It comes with practice and it will get better. I still have days where I mess it up, but for the most part it's much easier now than when I started out! Don't give up, you'll get it down before you know it!

[@Sarah_Kilmer]

[@barbkane9987]

Lovely! What kind of piping bags do you use? Also, I usually use piping bottles because I make such a mess w the icing leaking out the bottom of the bags! Lol How do you combat that when you have to put your bags down in between?? Thank you!

[@LittleCookieCo]

I have them linked in the description of the video! I usually place the tips between damp paper towels and squish them, it usually does a decent job!

[@Jess_Bishop]

What color is the pink in the tulip? Is that from chef master? It’s perfect!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you! I used Americolor Soft Pink but put enough to make it nice and strong!

[@beckydiaz1317]

How do you know when to add to prevent the icing from cratering?

[@LittleCookieCo]

If you think it may crater then better to do it just in case. Once you've a bunch of cookies you sort of get and idea, but if I think it may crater, better to do it!

[@terrystreby798]

Do you allow your outline to dry before flooding?

[@LittleCookieCo]

I do as I find it works better for me!

[@barbaraburrows2679]

When you have both your piping bags and flood bags out, how do you know which is which? Thanks

[@LittleCookieCo]

My outline bags usually have a lot less icing in them as I don't need as much as I do flood. And after I've used my flood bag a couple times, usually the bag gets a lot flimsier as it's not as full as my outline bag (which stays full for the most part as not much gets used in the beginning). I have however mixed them up from time to time, and I realize as soon as I pipe, but normally I can tell when picking up my bags as the flood bag is a lot squishier.

WHY IS YOUR ICING SPARKELY ? ITS KINDA SHIMMERY MINE AND ALOT OF ROYAL COLORS ARE FLAT, I DONT SEE ANY ONE MIXING IN LUSTER DUST INTO THEIR ROYAL ICING BUT I FEEL LIKE SOME MUST BECAUSE SOME IS SUPER FLAT AND SOME IS SPARKELY LIKE YOURS .

[@LittleCookieCo]

One thing that can make it shiny is to add a bit of corn syrup to your icing and dry the cookies in front of a fan or use a dehydrator (that's what I use) helps as well. Sometimes if you overmix your icing as well, that makes it dry dull. I have my recipe in the description of this video and show how I make it as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmbQh36Qo7mkl8U

[@donnagreen565]
