I've looked at this page every day since I received the email and I believe I finally have the confidence to try this! But, I have some questions: it appears to me that NONE of the frosting bags have a plastic or metal tip to them. Did you do all of that decorating with simply a snipped off tip to the plastic bag? I'm just worried that I'd cut off too much of the plastic and end up with big globs of frosting oozing out. :( And where do you buy the plastic bags if that is the case? How long do you allow these to air dry before they are hard enough to stack? And, do you decorate each cookie completely before you do the next one? And lastly, HOW do you make the little curls on the lamb cookie cutter? I ask because if I use the "flood" method with my icing, won't the little curls just disappear into the base frosting? Thanks in advance for helping this Nervous Nelly. I make cut out cookies all the time but just spread icing over them; I've been too afraid to make them look like this but want to gain confidence and let go of that fear! You're correct, Mary Jane just snipped the end off her disposable pastry bag to make those designs. You can use them with tips but she didn't. You can also use heavy duty freezer zip lock bag (the ones without a gusseted bottom) if you'd like. The cookies are workable for about 3 minutes and dry in about 45 minutes to an hour and you want to finish with one before you start the next. The colored icing will sink into the base icing a little bit but you want it to otherwise you won't get the lovely design. Molly @ KAF
