Has anyone used the Wilton spray mists? If so, any hints?

The spray is so fine that it goes all over everything within 4 feet, and under the doily I laid on the cookies. It wasn't a good recipe for icing in the first place - not flat and smooth - but I wanted to test out the sprays.

Short of spraying an adhesive on the doily, is there a way to make it lay flatter on the cookie?

Based on poor experience with this type of thing in the past, and reading about successes,

you need to have something you can get to lay completely flat against the surface of the icing, and you also need to make sure you are spraying directly down onto the surface at a 90º angle, or the spray will go under the cutouts.

The cute shamrock cookies the blog post references earlier used acetate for the pattern. It would give a clean edge, which is also what you would need for the spray to look good.

Good luck!
