Thats right....I confessed to kos last night in my other thread that I ate blackEye Billy!!!.....and mmmm mmmmm mmmm was he good!!!


So because of that I would like to clear something up about Royal Icing....


I love using royal icing for my cookies....but until Billy I hadn't tasted the royal on the cookie....Ive always gotten compiments about the taste...

Ive made flowers with them and realize they do get hard....and I see comments all the time about not using royal on cookies for fear of breaking a childs tooth or that its just too hard.....ummmm, it wasnt hard at all on the cookie!!! In fact it tasted really good!!

I was impressed....so way to go antonia....your recipe is wonderful!!

If you havent tried it on a cookie yet or wondered if its too hard on it...you might want to try it....


lets not argue about it...or I'll have to go get BlueJean Sally to set you all straight!!!

hahahaha! Ok, you know you are suppose to use the vodka for fondant glue, not to drink it!

mmmmm....cookies!!!! Wish someone would send me some

so what recipe do you use??? In case I want to make them....and did someone say something about vodka??

no fail.....but seriously.....the royal icing wasnt tooth breaking hard at all!!! So Im confused...and almost wonder if I did something wrong....because Ive heard so many say its so hard

um, twinsy...uh....um...I meant what was the recipe for the icing you used!! And don't make me go look for it!!!!!!

I assume you are talking about

I bookmarked this recipe to try next holiday season. Is it good?

I think we are forgetting something very important here-a moment of silence for Blue Jean Sally's poor accosted (and now eaten) dearly departed Billy.........


Ok enough of that for him! Antonia's icing is da bomb! The icing has just enough of a crunch that gives it a great texture when you bite into the cookie. I love it. I'm still eating the batch of cookies I made for the grad cake I posted today. That is if dh hasn't finished them off. Where is Sally when you need her?????

I made a batch of cookies for a customer, i'm new at decorating, and the royal icing was all runny once I decorated the cookie, and i used the royal icing for decorated cookies, someone knows what happend?

You may not have mixed it long enough to start out with. It needs to look stiff and have nice peaks after you're done mixing.

Gabbs how much water did you add? If it is runny, thicken it up by adding some sugar back into it.


I like the chocolate roll outs but I find them a bit dry so the icing does compliment them well and it doesn't get rock hard--the inside stays soft.

ok ! thank you... i'll try it next time !!!
