How to Make The BEST ROYAL ICING (Quick & Easy Tasty Recipe)
If you wanted to know how I make my icing from start to finish, you´ve come to the right place! This is a very easy and forgiving recipe.
Royal Icing Recipe:
1 bag of icing sugar (1kg) *see note below
3 tablespoons of meringue powder (30 grams)
2/3 cup of water (158 ml - do not use all at once)
1/4 cup corn syrup (85 grams)
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract (15 ml)
1 tablespoon of butter bakery emulsion (15 ml)
1 teaspoon of Americolor bright white (15 ml)
*Please note that I use a 1kg (2.2 lbs) bag of powdered sugar. If you are using a 2lb bag, all you need to do is reduce the amount of water you are using by a little bit.
Directions:
Place the powdered sugar and meringue powder in your mixing bowl. Using the paddle attachment or regular beaters, stir the ingredients together on the lowest speed.
While you continue on low speed add HALF of the water, corn syrup, vanilla and butter emulsion. You can use any single or combination of flavourings you want, this is my go to flavour (I will link the butter emulsion below).
Add in your white colour. You can use more than 1 teaspoon if it is not enough to bring it back to a bright white. I normally give it a good squeeze instead of measuring. Make sure to scrape your bowl down. If you find the icing needs a bit more water to come together, you can add another teaspoon or so until all the powdered sugar is incorporated.
Once everything is incorporated nicely, you can put your mixer to medium speed and mix it up for 1 minute, scrape the sides down and then mix for another 30 seconds to minute. Make sure not to mix for too much longer because if you over mix your icing will become crumbly or chalky.
If you find your icing is too thin, you can always add more powdered sugar and stir it in to thicken it up again. If your icing is too stiff, you can add a bit of water at a time to thin it down. Once you make it a few times, you´ll get the hang of how much water you need to make the consistency you like.
Meringue powder can be found at your local cake or craft supply stores!

How to paint gold on cookies!
Hi again, hope you enjoy this video showing you how to use different techniques to paint gold on cookies. Whenever my cookies need that something extra to make them perfect, I add a little gold.
For the best results you want to make sure you are using alcohol with the highest percentage you can find. I am using Everclear which is 90% alcohol. You want it to be on the thicker side when you mix it so it gives you nice coverage. The alcohol evaporates quickly so you don´t need to worry about children eating the cookies. You can also use lemon extract, just note it will give you a lemony taste on your cookies.
Happy painting!
Painted 'Porcelain' Sugar Cookies
These 'porcelain' or 'painted' sugar cookies are almost too pretty to eat! Make them for a party or shower, or prepare them as fancy gifts for your friends.
To make, ice any cut-out cookies (sugar cookies, gingerbread) with a batch of stiff royal icing (icing sugar + egg whites). Leave the iced cookies to dry for at least 24 hours. To prepare the 'paint', mix one part gel food colouring with one part vodka. Stir well and let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes. Using a food-only paint brush, paint on designs. Let cookies dry for about five minutes. Eat and enjoy!
These cookies are easy to make and super fun to paint!
