This is the best icing tip I've seen, thank you so much! (Found this on Pinterest ;) )

Cool! Thanks, glad you found it! :)

Love your tutorials. Great tips. What is your trick for getting really black frosting? I need to outline spiderman cookies and I can't get the white frosting to tint black enough. I'm using royal icing and Wilton gel icing colors

Sorry, I'm probably about 5 months too late to answer your question. But for next time-- I recommend Americolor Super Black food coloring. It will get very black. I usually try to color mine the day before I need it, and just make it dark gray. By the next day, it will be a deep, dark black. You can get it to black without waiting, but you have to use a lot more food coloring. Hope that helps!

Thanks for sharing this video...it's hard to describe this method to people, your video is excellent. One tip I might add...if you wipe your counter with a damp rag it holds your Saran wrap down so it doesn't slide around.
