Royal Icing

Directions

1. 1
   Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat slowly until they are all blended.
2. 2
   Then beat at medium speed until the icing forms stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.
3. 3
   Add more sugar if the icing is not stiff enough, or a few drops of water if it is too stiff.
4. 4
   Use immediately or cover the bowl with a damp cloth to prevent drying when not in use.
5. 5
   Allow at least 24 hours for royal icing decorations to dry, at room temperature.
