How to make royal icing with meringue powder? This type of consistency is comparable to honey or shampoo.This type of consistency is comparable to toothpaste.It is used for leaves, detail designs, flowers and much more. This type of consistency is comparable to buttercream icing.Once desired consistencies are reached, add the white icing to a piping bag or place in bowls and color using gel food coloring.If icing is too thin, add powdered sugar, just a little at a time, until desired consistency has been reached. I also love using a spay bottle to thin the icing down. If the icing is too stiff, add more water, I recommend starting with 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. At this point, this is the base icing and will be stiff.Whip on medium-high speed for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to make stiff peaks for a thicker icing. with the mixer on low speed, slowly add in confectioners’ sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla.Once fully incorporated, increase speed to medium speed and whip using the whisk until a glue-like consistency forms.In the bowl of a stand mixer (using the whisk attachment) or large mixing bowl, beat together the meringue powder and warm water on medium-low speed until frothy, about 1 minute.Because the icing on the cookie has completely dried, the detail icing will sit on top of the dried icing, instead of blending with it as the first design did. Add details: Use the thicker border icing to add detail work.You can gently check the dryness with the tip of your finger. If you're rushed, two or three hours might be enough. This allows the icing to dry beautifully, giving you a fresh surface to do your detailed icing work the next day. Dry: Dry your cookies overnight on the counter.Decorate: If you’re decorating the iced cookies with different colors and designs, grab your pastry bag with your border/detail icing and pipe whatever design you like.Work quickly when flooding since the icing will start to harden and become unspreadable fast. Simply take a small amount of the green flooding icing onto your icing spreader and add it to the center of the cookie, being careful to keep it all inside the border. This step is usually done with a pastry bag with a larger round tip, but you don't have to go through all those extra steps if you have an icing spreader.


Flood: While the border icing is still wet, you'll move on to flooding the cookies.Your border/detail icing will have a very small amount of water added to it, so it stays pretty thick and your flooding icing will have a bit more water added to it to make it runnier. The royal icing recipe as written creates a thick icing so you can separate it into smaller bowls and thin each one according to your decorating needs. Outline: First things first, you'll want to thin out your two icings as explained in detail below.To your flooding icing bowl, add water in ½ teaspoon increments until it reaches the five-second consistency.If you go overboard with water (which can happen quickly), just add in a little extra sifted powdered sugar until your consistency is right. Mix and test after each ½ teaspoon is added). To your border/detail icing bowl, add water in ½ teaspoon increments until it reaches the 12-second consistency. Designate one bowl for your border/detail icing (it will end up thicker) and one bowl for your flooding icing (it will end up thinner).

Prepare: Split your icing into two bowls.
