Royal Icing
So versatile and so easy to make.
Ingredients
For the Icing
| 70ml | Cold Water |
| 500g | Royal Icing Sugar |
Method
- Put 35ml of the water into a deep bowl and carefully add the royal icing sugar.
- Start mixing slowly and then gradually increase to a higher speed, adding the remaining water until you reach the desired consistency. Beat until the icing stands in soft peaks.
- Apply the icing to your cake in a thick layer, using a palette knife and leave to harden over night in a cool dry place.
- This will make enough to ice an 8" cake. Royal icing is also great for cupcakes, biscuits and finger buns.
