Hi all! I´m both new to this forum and to cookie decorating, and I need help. I've been practicing a lot with cookies, and Ive got pretty decent results but I usually have a problem. I prepare my outlining RI to a tooth paste consistency and then transfer it to a piping bag. I keep my bags on a tall glass with a wet paper in the bottom so they don't dry out. However, after a while the RI seems to be dry because it starts coming out differently, I get more peaks and it's less manageable. I've tried making it a tad thinner than toothpaste and then it drips from the tips (I usually outline with #2 tips). What am I doing wrong? Is there any advice that I can get so this is not driving me crazy anymore? Also, is there a way to avoid the outlining to be noticeable when both outlining and flooding are the same color? Thank you all in advance!
