Reply to "Icing Drying Too Quickly with Wet-on-Wet/Marbling Techniques - Help, Please!"

Tracy MerlauGobbler

I too am a beginner and have encountered the same thing, and that the Cookie Godess (IMHO) Julia herself answered, I feel very awkward responding at all....BUT, one thing may help other than speed from practice!

I found a mist bottle (NOT squirt bottle!!) in the toiletries travel section for $1.00. It’s only about 3 inches...very small...and if I notice my icing is crusting faster than I am working, I hold the bottle a few inches away from the surface and mist the top (only 1-2 sprays) will give me a couple of minutes to finish up. You have to mist it though at the first sign of crusting though.

I just made my first post about 2 weeks ago, so believe me when I say I am a beginner and am only trying to help a fellow newbie and this is just an amateur opinion. Good luck, hope to see more from you!
