Step 2: I choose the colors and and tint my icing. Keep the icing covered as it dries quickly and will become difficult to work with.
Step 3: I draw out what I want to create on standard 8 1/2 by 11 paper.
Step 4: I slip the drawing in a plastic page protector.
Step 5: I choose tips and fill my decorator bags with the different colored icing. To keep the icing from drying out, use a rubber band to keep the contents in and place the filled decorator bags in a glass that has a moistened paper towel at the bottom. This keeps your icing from hardening at the tip.
Step 6: Pipe your decoration directly on the protector sheet. Note:Trace the image first and then pipe decoratively.
Step 7: Let your creation dry at least 3 hours or overnight. (Overnight is best) Resist the urge to fiddle with it as it dries.
Step 8: You can transfer the decoration to your iced cake using a cake spatula. Transfer it carefully. If your decoration cracks, do not fret. Just place it carefully on the icing and gently slide it back together. These are quite fragile. Reserve some royal icing in case of "fatal" breakage so that you can replace the item if needed.
