Which do you all find easier/less messy for flooding cookies?

squeeze bottle, easier to fill and re-fill.

not really. When flooding, an air bubble doesn't make that much difference.

I recently bought 2 squeeze bottles from my Dollar store and I have to say I LOVE them. I'm thinking of investing in some smaller ones now and the ones with the tips. So much easier and less messy for doing cookies.

If I have a big order of the same cookie, I use squeeze bottles. But if I am doing a bunch of different cookies, I use parchment cones.

squeeze bottles, definitely! I use them for my own projects and use them when I teach. If you get an air bubble when you flow, just use a pin and pop it as you flow. Works like a charm!! icon_biggrin.gif

I like using the squeeze bottles. For large same type cookie design I fill up several bottles at a time, so I don't have to refill them as often, I use the smaller bottles for some of the accent colors, I use the parchment if I have to write on them.

Another trick I use with the squeeze bottle is to make the royal icing (or color flow) consistency not too loose but liquid enough to both outline and flow with. This helps save a lot of time and you don't get a line between the outline and the flowed part.

I'm a big fan of squeeze bottles, too. They are just so much cleaner than the bags.

I had a feeling most of you would say squeeze bottles. I really need to get a couple to try. The bags are just so messy. I always put a rubber band around the top, and it still seems to ooze out a little, and my hands get all crusty.

I use large parchment cones...Just fill up several before I start and keep throwing 'em out when I'm done. Much easier clean-up.

I'm so glad everyone says they use the squeeze bottles. Where do you find the ones with tips?
