So, I did my research the old-fashioned way and went to my local library looking for the recipe for how to make the "icing to decorate cookies.” At that time, I don't even think I knew that the formal name was "Royal icing"... I really thought that it was a meringue-like icing made with egg whites...and in fact that kind of icing was the first ones used to decorate cookies a long, long, long time ago. I was clearly stuck in the past.
I was not lucky enough to find the recipe on my library search, so I continued looking for it and when I found it, the recipe called for meringue powder.
I looked for it and I tried that recipe and I’m not sure why, but I always failed when making it, so I decided to make some changes. After many trials and error, I finally nailed the right proportions of ingredients and since then, nothing has stopped me from decorating cookies, not even the aches and pains that cookie decorating brings to my aging body, LOL. Here you can watch a video about the aches and pains of a cookie decorator.
I LOVE decorating cookies and I know how important it is to have a good royal icing recipe and how to accurately prepare all the other consistencies for decorating cookies. So, I decided to make a class just dedicated to making Royal icing and it is posted on UDEMY where I have some other classes available.
