Valentines is coming and I get really excited about writing on cookies and puns! So I decided to share with you exactly how I achieve puffy royal icing letters for my cookies.

I really have two techniques, and I shared both of these in my Youtube tutorial but today I am only going over one of them.

First—this technique requires two bags of royal icing, medium consistency royal icing in a tipless bag and stiff consistency royal icing with a Wilton Tip #1.

We are also going to need a PICO Projector, your iced cookie and a surface to work on. Using the Wilton Tip #1 bag of stiff royal icing we are going to trace the entire outline of the cookie. Make sure to exaggerate the curves so you have room to fill in your outline with the medium consistency royal icing.
