Posted by SugarDeaux Like so many other cookie decorators, I have struggled to find the best Royal Icing to suit my taste and fit my style of decorating. I have tried every recipe out there and found success with a few. None of them though, quite fit my style of decorating-which happens to be impatient! I'm not a fan of hurry up and wait!! Plus, the humid climate in New Orleans isn't kind to RI and that problem was a challenge as well. So, after working in my "cookie lab" lol- I have finally come up with a recipe that is consistent, quick, tastes great and is a... read more

Posted by megpi This recipe took a bit of trial and error working, so it's kind of my baby, but I don't mind sharing. It's all butter and holds very well, but I make mine a touch salty to contrast the sweet, so depending on your taste you might want to cut back on the salt. Part of the recipe is by weight, but I've had good luck with the conversion chart at http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes2008/master-weight-chart.html Ingredients 12 oz unsalted butter, softened 1lb 6oz Powdered sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla 3/4 tsp salt 2 oz cream... read more
