What is wrong with my royal icing?? Everytime I go to make it, it just seems to stick in large balls almost like mmf. Has anyone had this problem?

I do alot of royal....i put everything in the KA and let it mix for 7-9 minutes without touching it. after that, mine is a big ball. I take out the amount that I need and add water to the smaller parts of it to get the right consistency I want.

i have never had that happen, sounds like to much icing sugar, and not enough water.... i would go with what seven does and it will work fine....what recipe are you using??? i just follow the recipe in the wilton books, i ususally add a little extra water ( depending on what i am using it for ).

Sift the powdered sugar really well will help too.
