300g icing sugar
+/- 2 tablespoons milk
food colouring, orange yellow, red
Now that the biscuits are baked and on the rack to cool, we stir frosting for the flames that will go onto the cookies. We first pipe on the outlines with a slightly thicker glaze. We let those lines harden a little bit and then fill them in with a slightly thinner glaze in a different colour. Then repeat this with the third colour.
You first stir white icing, divide it over three bowls and add some orange food colouring to the first. Stir food colouring and a teaspoon of milk in the second bowl and do the same in the third bowl with colour three. It seems like a lot but it's actually nothing much ;)) Cut a tiny tip of your piping bag to pipe pretty thin lines.
