These were kind of an experiment on outlining and flooding small areas with glace icing.... I have tried many things in order to avoid "dimples" since then and think if I did these again, I would have much better luck at avoiding the majority of the dimples. The number one thing that helps (or so it does for me) is using very FRESH icing...seems to make a huge difference. Thank you to all the cookie folk out there that sent their thoughts on how to avoid those pesky dimples!
