[@joannebottari583]

Can you freeze the cookies with the royal icing already on them ?

[@angelicacamarillo196]

Do u guys have a sugar cookies recipe

[@sherwinsamonte4946]

Hello! How long will last the Royal icing when you put it in the cookie? Thanks for the information you shared. It will help me a lot about the icing

[@wilton]

Hi Sherwin, your royal icing decorations made with meringue powder can be kept in an airtight container in a dry, dark place to prevent fading for up to 6 months, so they should last as long as your cookies do. Here's some more icing information that might be helpful: blog.wilton.com/how-to-make-royal-icing-with-meringue-powder/

[@makgobamariamohlago8895]

Wow. I. Like it

[@sherribean8971]

What is the best royal frosting recipe that actually has a great flavor? I just made some and it was done with p sugar, vanilla, water and meringue powder, the flavor was not the best.

[@Whatworksthisworks]

How do you keep the icing from separating and getting watery??

[@khalid2001ify]

Recipe for the South, please!

[@vickikunetka1111]

I have a dehydrator and I’ve heard a tip to use a dehydrator to speed up the drying of the icing. Do you have any tips, warnings, or instructions on how to do this without ruining the look of my decorations?

[@wilton]

Hi Vicki, we have never tried using a dehydrator to dry royal icing, so we can't give any tips. We'd recommend trying to dry in front of a gentle fan instead. Hope that helps.

[@316thewaythetruththelife5]

When you are thinning out the royal icing with the water, should the water be room temperature, warm, cold ?

[@beinghonest737]

Room temperature water

[@JadeWrite]

Warm

[@maloriamcateer12]

Can you freeze royal icing? If so, would you describe how?

[@wilton]

Hi! Good question. Unfortunately, royal icing does not freeze well. It will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. If you don't have plans to use it within 2 weeks, we suggest creating your decorations in advance and storing those instead. Here's some more information you might find helpful: blog.wilton.com/how-to-freeze-cake-and-other-baked-goods

[@elainecruddas9607]

How do you know how much icing to make? If you make too much, will it save?

[@EmmaPolo01]

How far in advance can these cookies be made? These are wedding favors going in cellophane bags.

[@leanh8710]

Moar royal icing please 😍

[@TheBabyclover]

hi, will this recipe making the royal icing too hard? my customer want royal icing which is not too hard and im still looking for the good recipe.can we thinned out the icing with milk?

[@mytummytreats5282]

SO AM IN THE THIRD TO COMMENT? 😁 WANNA LEARN THIS!

[@angelatbryant]

Is this be done on cupcakes as well?

[@wilton]

Thin royal icing is best for cookies as it won't hold its shape on cupcakes. If you want to use it on cupcakes or for flowers, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIC3cnmDesdpbJo

[@vickikunetka1111]

I’ve heard that some recipes call for corn syrup because it gives a glossy sheen to the icing. Do you have any pro o con comments about that? Does the icing still dry as hard. I ship my cookies to my grandson and his family 2 states away.

[@wilton]

Hi Vicki, yes, adding a little corn syrup can give a little sheen. This blog lays out a lot of good suggestions you might find helpful: www.thefrostedkitchen.com/how-to-make-royal-icing-shiny/

[@vickikunetka1111]

@@wilton Thank you! That was very helpful! I’m new to cookie decorating but the big has bitten me pretty hard. I’m not yet skilled (or artistically gifted) BUT I’ve never seen anyone refuse to eat a sugar cookie because it was ugly! AND, unlike other artistic hobbies, I don’t have to wonder what I’ll do with my collection of crafted products. I might be diabetic (and eat cookies sparingly) but there are no storage issues. There are TUMMIES everywhere I look! Even so, I think I must have already spent $300+ for a collection of tools, sprinkles, and gel coloring. Wish me luck! I have 9 dozen cookies ready to decorate between now and Christmas Day. I have very lucky neighbors! They don’t know what’s coming their way.

[@wilton]

We are so happy to hear this! Can we move into your neighborhood? 🥰 And there's no such thing as an ugly cookie. ❤️🍪 Keep up the great work.

[@patsyalford13]

When I try this, there’s a line between my outline and my flood. They don’t really merge together into a smooth covering. What am I doing wrong?

[@wilton]

We would recommend letting your outline set up a bit before flooding. When you make your thinner icing for flooding, be sure not to thin it too much. Starting from the edges when you flood will help hide the outlines as well.

[@dirtwad88]

Can the cookies be frozen after iced?

[@Iris-lk9ig]

Yes, put in individual bags and then in a plastic tub, defrost in the tub too.

[@gladysprentice9637]

How do I get a gold writing words on my cookies? Thank you

[@Iris-lk9ig]

You buy gold colour edible powder, and paint your letters with a thin paint brush, hope you have a steady hand x

[@raulhernandezarthur]

Why my icing turns opaque when it is dry?

[@sugarcoder]

I thought you uploaded a video like this already... >_>

[@CharlestonAdventures]

[@eileenjones8552]

With all the icing, doesn’t make the cookies too sweet?

[@beinghonest737]

No its a really balance sweetness

[@Whatworksthisworks]

Surprisingly no!
