I have flavored royal, I just make sure I cut back on the water I use. I know there are strawberry extracts, so I would go ahead. I think some strawberry extract AND some vanilla extract sounds really yummy (JMHO).

It may color the icing a bit pink, hope that's not a problem.

Would Lorann oils work for flavoring the icing?
when i took toba's class we used liquers to flavor her icing. we didn't reduce the amount of water/milk used.

Pink is ok since I am making some strawberry shaped cookies...it will help get the red color...I was wondering also what to use...oils extracts etc....

Thanks!

The strawberry and Vanilla does sound yummy

any oil-based flavoring would probably break down the royal icing and make it useless....I would try an extract instead.
