p.s. Forgot to mention; in this case it’s just probably the flash, but I have heard that using corn syrup adds a little sheen. (a teaspoon per kg of icing sugar). I have yet to really see the difference, but I’m experimenting with it here and there. I’ll write a post if I find a way which makes a real difference.

Thanks Shirley!
Yes, that’s the recipe I use in my tutorial; nothing else.

Your frosting has such a beautiful sheen. Is it just the recipe that you refer to in your cookie tutorial or did you do something else?

Ram, the icing recipe and consistency of the recipe is important.

My icing recipe can be found under the tutorial section – Cookie Decorating Tutorial; General Tips & Butterfly Cookies:

Cookie Decorating Tutorial; General Tips & Butterfly Cookies.

The 10 second rule is important as well… It helps determine how thick/thin the icing should be. You can find that in the same tutorial.

Hope that helps!

May I know how you achieve high flooding on your cookies. I mean they’re not like other flat decorated cookies that I see around.

They were super special, thanks so much Anutie Marian. Lots of Love Carter:-)
