I've been making royal icing a long time and I have learned over the years that there is no need to make royal icing more complicated than necessary! It is actually very easy to make and can take less than 10 minutes! In this video I show you how I make my royal icing and how to create stiff, piping, and flood consistency icing for all your cookie decorating projects!

@Evans951 2 года назад

That was extremely helpful! I attempted my first try at making royal icing and I gave up because I couldn't get it right. After watching your video, I know exactly what my problem was. I didn't know I still needed to water down the icing to get an outline consistency. Mine was too stiff and so was my flooding icing. I loved how you went into detail about flooding icing consistency. I'm looking forward to giving it another try. Thanks so much for your video.

@analiesecastillo4361 3 года назад

Hi! How would you recommend dividing the icing? So that there's enough for outlining and enough for flooding? Happy Holidays!

@thehoneyblonde4732 3 года назад

You will only need a small amount for outlining. It takes approximately .5oz to flood a standard size cookie (3"x3"). If you have a scale, you can actually make a rough calculation of how much icing you will need and divide it accordingly. But I typically will make one small bag for outlining (like what you see in the video), and the rest will be flood.

@kleoursx4842 2 года назад

@nanak4311 3 года назад

Such an informative video! Thank you! Do you need to get rid of the air bubbles for flood consistency only? Or should you do it for also the stiffer consistencies?

@thehoneyblonde4732 3 года назад

Great question! They are really only an issue with flood consistency. The weight of the icing when its thicker seems to supress the air bubbles from forming.

that was so easy to understand! i really want to get into cookie decorating, any tips for keeping your hand steady? and i’ve seen a lot of people mention a scribe tool but i don’t have one, will a toothpick or pin work?

@thehoneyblonde4732 3 года назад

Yes, you can use a scribe tool, toothpick, or other thin pointy object to help smooth the icing. That won't help with a steady hand, necessarily, but it will help clean up some mistakes.

@thehoneyblonde4732 3 года назад

No, you don't have to unless your sugar looks super lumpy. I know people that do, but I don't notice a difference in the icing.

@nadinexxxxz 3 года назад

Great video! Do you also use this 10-15 sec to outline and to fill your cookies at the same time? Thankyou already!

@thehoneyblonde4732 3 года назад

Thanks! I will typically use a piping consistency to outline. But you can certainly use a 10-15 second flood icing to outline, too, especially if you don't have a lot of cookies to make and you don't need much piping consistency icing.

I highly recommend gel food coloring, like Americolor brand. But you can use whatever you have on hand. If you only have liquid coloring, add the color before thinning to your desired consistency.

Hi! This looks soo good but I have question, do we substitute the meringue powder with egg whites, or whipped egg whites

@thehoneyblonde4732 2 года назад

Good question. I don't use egg whites, so you may want to look up a recipe that does. I'd assume that you probably want to whip up the egg whites to soft peak stage before adding your sugar.

@neirabektas6682 3 года назад

This was awesome! I have a question. I prepared all the icing in 4 separate piping bags that I tied off like you did in the video. I am using them for some decorating tomorrow, should I refrigerate the bags or can I leave them out?

@leilasolis6563 3 года назад

I think you can leave them because they might get hard in the fridge

@thehoneyblonde4732 3 года назад

They won't get hard in the fridge if the icing is in a closed piping bag.

@thehoneyblonde4732 3 года назад

I'd recommend refrigerating them. If you leave them out, that's fine, but they may start to separate so you will want to knead the bag to mix up the icing again. The icing will separate more slowly in the fridge, but you may still need to knead the bag to remix. You can also freeze the piping bags if you aren't going to use them for a while. Just let them sit out and defrost for about 10 minutes.
