Once you've finished doing all the outlines, let them rest for about five minutes, and then take some of your leftover icing and mix some water in with it. Now you want to add a few
drops at a time . You want it to be
running enough to
melt down into itself when you
drizzle some from a
. But you don’t want it to be too watery. If it is too watery once it has been on the cookie, it will
soak in and it will leave it looking strange. Add some onto the cookie and then use a
to
spread it out to the
edges and into all those little corners. Tap it a few times to
smooth it out and
release any
.
If you want, you can of course add
to the
wet icing, on these green christmas trees, I’m using the mini m&ms.
Then you can repeat that for your other colours. To avoid the colours running into each other, if you want your cookies looking perfect, then let each colour dry before you add the next one. Once the icing is
fairly dry, you can go back and pipe more details over the top.
I used the rest of my
and my squares to make a nativity scene which I will show you closer to Christmas.
