with royal icing is a learned art.\u00a0 There are hundreds of blogs dedicated to cookie icing and decorating.\u00a0 I, by no means claim to be a master of royal icing cookie decoration, but I want to show you how easy it is if you break down the process.\u00a0 The most important element to master, and to remember before you start, is that the consistency of the icing is most important.\u00a0 If the royal icing is too thin, it can run off the cookie, blend with other colours etc, or if it is too stiff you won\u2019t get the smooth, uniform appearance that a flooded cookie should have.
