Welcome to Sugar Cookie Icing 101: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Consistency, Coloring and Getting Started With Decorating Bags!

My daughters and I have become obsessed with Rosanna Pansino and her online show Nerdy Nummies. This young woman is constantly making gustatory delights that wow us. Inspired by her awesome skills, we decided to try and take our holiday cookies a step further this year. I quickly realized there is a lot of science behind cookie icing!

Here are some great resources that we found helpful.

We like the Wilton Icing Colors too. We picked up the 12-set at Micahels and it has lasted along time. You can also find the Witon set on Amazon with free shipping if you are a Prime member. I love the color variety.
