CookieCrazieBasics: Bagging Glaze Icing

Now that we have the glaze icing colored, 

let's get it in decorating bags so we can get to the fun part!

Here's what we're shootin' for.....

First we have to assemble all our tools.

One thing I forgot to mention in the coloring post......

this little squirt bottle is your friend! 

When you're trying to get the icing to

fit the 10 second rule,

just add one squirt at a time until you've thinned it just right.

A perfect (and inexpensive) MUST HAVE addition

to your decorating supplies

 You'll need decorating bags

(Wilton is fine, Ateco is better)

Then you'll need decorating tips.

Again, Wilton is fine.

PMEs are best (but pricey).

I mostly have Wilton #1s, #2s, #3s, & #4s.

My favorite PMEs are #1 and #1.5.

I store them all in this handy little craft box

that I bought at Walmart.

It also holds all my couplers.

An important word on couplers.....

I dislike Wilton's couplers VERY MUCH!

They cross thread easily and I've had to throw many out.
Ateco brand couplers are AWESOME!

You can buy them HERE.

Highly recommended.

Love these purple bag ties. :)

And finally, I LOVE these tip covers.

When you're finished decorating for the day,

just pop one of these covers over the tip on the bag,

and you can save the bagged icing for the next time.

(No refrigeration needed.)

Enough on tools......let's get to bagging this icing!

The best and easiest trick to bagging your icing

is from Karen (Karen's Cookies).

Watch her video HERE.
Bagging icing becomes a breeze once you
start using this wonderful tip. =)

And there you have it......
beautifully bags of icing
ready to make beautiful cookies!
