I LOVE working with Royal Icing. LOVE it! It is my preferred decorating technique for flowers, because a) it cleans up EASILY, and b) you can do a huge variety of flowers with all sorts of tips, but, you can also do a lot with just a few basic tips! Royal icing is easy to control, can be easily applied to cakes, cupcakes and cookies, and creates a polished finish on any/all of your products.
Here is a video on how to make your own! All you need is icing/confectioners sugar, merginue powder and water. Oh, ya, you probably need a mixer . . . or you might go crazy mixing by hand.
Simple, easy and clean!
Royal Icing Ingredients:
4 cups icing sugar (400g)
3 level tablespoons meringue powder
5-6 tablespoons water
Procedure:
To the bowl of a stand mixer add all meringue powder, and icing sugar. Slowly add half the water and turn on the mixer to medium. Add the rest of the water and turn the mixer up to full speed and allow it to mix for around 8-10 minutes, or until the icing is soft and fluffy.
If you are looking for a meringue powder substitute, you can also make Royal Icing by using egg whites.
2 large egg whites (60g)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 cups icing sugar (300g)
Mix it together and continue as above.
Are the egg whites raw?? How exactly is
The recipe changed if I substitute for the egg whites
Will the quantity from this recipe fully ice/cover your vanilla homemade cake recipe?
Royal icing is not usually used to cover an entire cake, so I don’t know, as I’ve never done that.
I love ur cooking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but where do we get melting wafer? please tell me
I buy Merckens melting wafers at Bulk Barn, but you can find them online if you do a search. Wilton and other brands make them too.
you could get chocolate candy wafers from micheals or bulk burn. the brand is wilton so wherever you get wilton products. hope this helped
can we use normal sugar
No. You need to use icing sugar, which is also known as confectioners or powdered.
Thank you so much! That was stellar 🙂
If you are substituting the powder do you use the water as well?
Yes, you will still need water.
