Hi Jamie, if you haven't seen this one already, Sweetopia has a great post on getting rid of air bubbles. http://sweetopia.net/2012/09/h...bles-in-royal-icing/ I now use a dental vibrator when I'm doing a lot of cookies (I don't bother if I'm just doing a couple of dozen) so I don't have to spend so much time popping bubbles with a toothpick. It doesn't get rid of all of them, but it definitely reduces the amount. Hope this helps!
