Chris was out of town last week and I spent a lot of time working on boring old real life type of things around the house.

We’ve got this..Grab a few ziplock/generic brand zipper style bags.. You’re going to have delicious icing in a just a few seconds and no mess.

Wasn’t that easy?.You can either make a whole lot of icing, or just a tiny bit for a few little dots and lines, whatever works for you.. You’ll need ziplock bags, large or small, (I find if you’re going to be really intense about the squishing, the name brand ones do tend to hold up better, but dollar store bags work in a pinch too), icing sugar, butter, vanilla, and food coloring.. No matter what amount of icing you decide to make, you’ll need about 1 part butter to 4 parts icing sugar, a splash of vanilla and a few drops of food coloring.So for example, I used about 1 teaspoon of butter, to 4 teaspoons of icing sugar to get these amounts..

If you find your icing is too runny, add a bit more icing sugar.If it’s too thick, add a bit of milk or vanilla.

I have to tell you though, it’s pretty hard to mess up.

Fact: Sugar and butter together in pretty much any combination are going to taste amazing..that we did recently, so I decided to just go ahead and do my own tour anyway.

For no reason, just because it’s fun.And if you really love the big group home tours that we do where you get to (virtually) travel from house to house and peek in at what everyone’s done in their home, don’t you worry!

We’re going to be doing another one soon, maybe something for spring or early summer..So let’s get to it!.
