Royal Icing recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups (about 1 lb.) powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)

• 5 tablespoons warm water

• 3 tablespoons meringue powder

• 1 tablespoon Cookie Nip Flavoring Cookie Nip Flavoring – Cakes Dreamer

Instructions

Beat all ingredients together until icing forms peaks, best for about 4-5 minutes at low speed 

Let icing sit for 15 minutes to an hour to let air bubbles rise naturally. Alternately, tap the bowl on the table several times to force the air bubbles up. Gently stir the top surface to release the air.

Check the consistency of your royal icing. If icing is too stiff, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved. If icing is too thin, add powdered sugar, a little at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
