How to transfer flood icing to a squeeze bottle . . . Works for Me Wednesday

Over the last few weeks, I've gotten this question over and over again in the comments, in my email and on twitter:

"How do you get flood icing from the bowl into the squeeze bottles?"

Here's my secret...I don't have a secret.  I just pour it in.

Take an empty squeeze bottle,


and icing thinned for flooding,


preferably, do not try to do this while holding a camera in one hand.


Pour in s-l-o-w-l-y.


There we go; that's better.


I'm right-handed, so normally, I hold the container of icing in my left hand and with a silicone spatula in my right, carefully guide the icing into the bottle.


{Sometimes it gets messy, but usually I can make it with no spills.}

If it does plop over the side, wipe it up with a damp paper towel.

There it is...my non-secret secret.

I guessing someone has a better (neater) way.  Spill it, sister (not literally).
