Icing for piping/writing

[boogeek]

Very quick Q: I want to pipe icing onto some biscuits. In my cupboard I have normal icing suage and fondant icing sugar: which would be better, please?

tsk. SUGAR.

normal I think, as far as I can gather, fondant icing sugar is for making fondant icing out of

Yeah, but I quite want it to set hard...
Tricky!

Bit of a cheat - but I use these little tubes of icing.

yeah I've got some of them but they are hard to manage (I am very clumsy). I now have some really funky icing bottles that make it very easy. If you put the right stuff in! I used the fondant one in the end and it looks ok so far.

how do those icing bottles work? do you push down on the top as you're writing?

you just kind of squeeze them and the concertina bits fold up. They are fantastic. Look at my biscuits [http://blipfoto.com/view.php?id=272570&month=3&year=2009 here]] - not bad given how cack-handed I am in general!

See? Cack-handed.

They're sweet! I might invest in some of those at some point. Got to be better than my dodgy attempts with a piping bag
