Thank you for those extra tips!! I will be making my first batch of holiday cookies in the next couple of days, and look forward to having a successful product using the skills learned over the past few weeks.
Haha! Thank you! I was planning to share more recipe videos in this style because there’s always so much boring dead space, but I wasn’t sure if anyone got it 😆🙈
Your tips are super helpful! Thank you for sharing your amazing tips! They’ve been extremely useful for learning new techniques in cookie design. I have a question… is there such thing as chocolate royal icing and if so, do you have a recipe for it? Thanks again!!
I’m so glad you found the video helpful! You absolutely can make chocolate royal icing. It just needs to be treated with care because it’s a little unstable (too much cocoa powder can hinder the setting process). Whenever possible, I try to use cocoa powder or Dutch process cocoa powders to help create browns and blacks so I don’t have to add so much food coloring. I honestly just eyeball the measurements when I make it, but I’ll see about paying more attention next time and trying to get the process on video 👍🏼
Question gonna make tomorrow. Does the icing stay white even though a brown colored vanilla Bean paste is used? Or do you have to add White gel to intensify the white color..you know for Santa's beard and snow effect on trees.
If you use vanilla bean paste, it adds little specs from the seeds. I like the look, though. The color shouldn’t really be affected, but I always add a bit of white gel coloring for a nice opaque, bright white.
@@lagcraig62 you’re very welcome! I don’t have issues with color bleed. Adding white to your white icing will help. If you’re also mixing saturated reds and greens for Christmas, I’d try to mix the colors ahead of time, a little lighter than desired, and allow the hues to develop for a few hours or overnight. Too much strong food coloring can lead to bleed.
Hello, I have a question. I am a grandma and will be hosting my first cookie decorating workshop with my little ones next week. I made a test yesterday. I made my icing just using icing sugar and water. I got it to a white glue texture. I then put that icing in a squeeze bottle and put eyes, nose, mouth and belly button to my gingerbread cookie. It dried out overnight so the icing is not running. My question is : for this type of application, what would I gain to add meringue powder to the mix? Thanks.
Hi there. It all comes down to the protein in meringue powder. It increases the stability of the icing, improves piping texture and spreadability factor, creates a lighter texture and dries faster. It sounds like the glaze you’ve made will work well for your decorating workshop with the kiddos. But royal icing with meringue powder is generally preferred by decorators due to the above reasons because it’s easier to work with, allows for layering, and also lends itself to a variety of consistencies for different effects. Hope that helps! Wishing you a fun and tasty workshop!
You can add a bit of corn syrup to royal icing for a softer bite, but it should be added at the very end. Also make sure not to over-mix the icing, which can change the texture.
I finally found the perfect recipe for Royal Icing! Thank you my dear.👍🏼😘
It makes me SO happy to hear that! I’m thrilled the recipe worked well for you 💕

Thank you for sharing Liz! The water tip is wonderful ❤
You’re so welcome! I hope it helps you out as much as it did me. I stressed so much over royal icing before learning that little trick.
If you tested the warm water, would the thermometer say 110 degrees, or 90 degrees?
@@parislady1925 it’s about 105°F for me.
Thank you my dear. Hello from Venezuela

Can you use egg whites instead of merengue powder?
I haven’t tried egg whites with this recipe.

@@inspiredtotaste Thank you so much! I will add that! And does it do well with no color bleeding?

@@inspiredtotaste I understand. As my little devils are so young, I did not plan layering this year. We will probably experiment that later. Thanks.
I was told to put liquid glucose in my sugar water mix. It never dried and was crumbly. 😞
