What is royal icing in baking?
Royal icing, also known as glace royale, is an essential preparation in baking. It’s used to decorate cookies and also cakes. Made with powdered sugar, egg whites, and sometimes a bit of lemon juice, it has the perfect consistency for creating fine, elegant decorations on cookies. It hardens when dried in the oven or dehydrator, allowing you to create 2D designs. By adding food colouring, you can create a wide range of shades and turn your cookies into real masterpieces. You can use it to make homemade cookies for themed celebrations such as Easter, Halloween, or Christmas.
What ingredients do you need to make royal icing?
The ingredients are simple and easy to find: powdered sugar, meringue powder, cream of tartar, and a bit of water. These are what you’ll need for our royal icing recipe. Of course, the result will be white icing, so we recommend adding a splash of colour using our food colouring. Short on time and don’t want to make your own royal icing from scratch? Let Cakelicious help and go for our ready-made royal icing mixes! Just add water, and you're ready to go. You’ll find both plain white and pre-coloured versions in our selection.
What tools are needed for royal icing?
Royal icing does require a few essential tools to create beautiful and well-finished cookies. The most important are piping tips with adapters, piping bags, and rubber bands. This allows you to prepare several bags, each with a different colour. Another must-have is a scribe tool or needle, which helps you move the icing around once piped to eliminate air bubbles or create special effects. For adding small details like eyes, a mouth, or patterns, our edible food markers are perfect. Our tip: place a damp cloth over your piping bags while decorating, because royal icing dries quickly, the humidity helps prevent the icing from hardening and clogging your tips.
How do you store royal icing?
Royal icing doesn’t like being exposed to air, as it dries very quickly. To store it properly, we recommend using an airtight container and covering the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent air from getting in. Under these conditions, it can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days. Before using it again, make sure to mix it well to bring back its smooth texture.
