So sorry Marian, haven’t read it correctly …
Since i have opened lots of the tutorials, haven’t noticed that this is guest post by Bridget.
But again, thanks for the answers. Really want to know how to put the Alphabet Icing on r.i before i start putting it on.

Cheers,
Via

Via,
This is a guest post by Bridget (see last line in post), but I’ll answer from my experience. She does say that she puts it on when the icing is wet.
I wouldn’t put less in the middle and don’t think you need to press down; gravity will do the work for you especially if the icing is wet.
Hope that helps!

Hi Marian,

I Really inspired by your pink monogrammed cookies that has white dots and candy melts on it. So when i went to baker’s store & saw Alphabet Icing Decorations from Wilton, I decided to bought it.
I want to put it on a cookie like yours.

Want to know, do i have to apply less royal icing at the place that i want it to be sticked? or just icing the cookies like usual then just put it on r.i in the middle?
when is the best time to apply it on r.i? & do i have to press it a little bit cause it’s a bit thick (about 7 mm thick) or it will sink by itself into r.i?
Lots of thanks…

Parchment paper works well too!
