So helpful!

[@LivingInLemonGrove]

Thanks for the tips

[@lollyshomekitchen]

No problem!

Spray that powder with water before you mix it in. Makes all the difference in the color.

[@creosotebush4630]

Do you bag the icing and let the colors develop or do you have it develop in the bowls with a damp paper towel over it for a couple of hours? Changing the paper towel to maintain the dampness?

[@joanshealy1662]

Put it in the microwave for 10 seconds and let cool and then whip it up again 😊

[@sarahcraigs5879]

Thanks!! I was wondering if you could do this with royal icing. I knew you could do it with buttercream but couldn’t find out if it would work with royal icing as well :)

How much is your cookie camp class? I'm trying to add sugar cookies to my home baking business but I don't even know where to start. I know I want a really good recipe that has cream cheese, but no almond I don't like the taste of almomd extract. I want a cookie that holds its have bit does not get hard that stays soft to bite also I'm terrified to try to decorate fear of messing up long story . Can you pleases tell me your recipe or tell me where the best recipe can be found yours look amazing.

I have followed these instructions and adding that much gel coloring makes the icing bitter. I use the Americolor as well and used the measurements you used. Does your icing have a little bitter taste to it. I have used even less gel and it is still bitter. Any suggestions?? The color is good but bitter!!

[@user-ct2vv5gy7y]

I have never used the powdered color. Does it have a better or worse taste than the regular gel color?

[@user-dj4qd8ie4m]

Is it possible to over mix your icing when adding colour?

[@kathypalermo1186]

Thanks so much for the additional information. I do have a different baking question...please help! Why do my butter cookies lose their shape in the oven? I've put them in the frog and freezer for 20-15 minutes after I pipe them, but to no avail.

You need a different recipe
