Reply to "How Quickly Do You Flood After Outlining?"

Stefani: If you don’t want a line between the dam and the flooding you have to dam and then immediately flood. Otherwise, the dam will be too dry to absorb the flooding icing and that line will show. I’m not much on any “20 seconds, 10 second’s” whatever consistency. I generally thin the icing to a point that it will hold on the edge of the cookie then immediately flood it with the same icing. Then, take a toothpick and even it all out, mixing the dam with the flooding along that edge. I don’t always get an absolutely smooth surface for something like stamping but it generally works for me. Gently shaking the cookie after flooding also seems to even out the surface as well.
