As a former professional pastry chef, I haven’t worked with royal icing in about 35 years. I appreciate all of your instruction, tips and techniques to help me to remember it all again. The technique is about the same as it always has been to do outlining and flooding, but with a few modern innovations that are always good to know about. Thank you!

I just made this step by step along with the video. It is such a great video! Three things: one, I used a lot more water to get where I wanted it to be consistency-wise. I assume could be normal based on humidity and other environmental and ingredient conditions? Two, the way I outlined and piped, this recipe covered 120 Easter egg cookies - about 3+" x 2.25+" ovals. I include this in case anyone else wonders. I decided to just make one color and do as many cookies as I could to help my busy brain figure it out. I used about 1/5 for piping and 4/5 for flooding. Three, any ideas for flooding that don't leave 1/4" thick layer of icing on the cookie? It seems like using a tinier opening just requires more rounds of flooding. I'll just have to watch more flooding videos!
@LittleCookieCo Жыл бұрын
That's great to hear! And humidity and environment do affect the icing and everyone had a preference of how loose they wan they're icing..for less icing you can always try dipping your cookies, that usually ends in less or thin it out more and don't flood all the way to the edge and pull the icing to the edges!

I usually spread my cookie decorating over a few days. So I'll do the base and do all the bases of the cookies and have a fan on them or put them in the dehydrator. Usually once I'm done they are dry enough to do the next step. And I keep doing that. With fan it takes about 45 minutes to an hour maybe a bit more. Air drying without a fan can take hours! I leave them overnight when I'm done to air dry and they're all dry in the morning g

Or am I using the flood bag because the outline seems to be thicker coming out and the flood comes out so loose. Another thing, how long must this sit out to dry??

The first bag is the outline I use for the cookies and if I ever need more flood then just thin some of it down. Also usually tsked 8 hourd uncovered for the icing to fully dry on a cookie. I have this updated video that might help, with better visuals! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqmqc3aioNGfhKc

Add a block of cream cheese!!!!!! ( room temp) beat on high again 4. MAKE SURE you don't see any cream cheese chunks. If its to thin add more powder sugar. To thick then add milk. ( I use heavy whipping cream) Put icing in a plastic bowl & cover your bowl with a wet towel. I use a wet paper towel, plastic wrap AND the top. Mix in colors when your ready to ice cookies.

@LittleCookieCo2 жыл бұрын
It really depends on how many colours and how big your cookies are. I usually can ice about 3 dozen but if I make a lot of colours I always make too much just in case and so then that takes more icing. I always freeze leftover icing so if I need just a bit of a colour or need to add more to it, I can easily!

I have tried or with 6Tbsp and had such a hard time with it so, I reduced it to 5 tbsp and still had some trouble with it smoothing out! I am going to try your method! Just curious what you think of all the people who swear using more meringue gives them more control because I have had zero luck with that! Also, I see you don’t mix the water with the meringue before adding the sugar, etc. I was taught to do that but maybe that is also part of the problem? I appreciate any input you have about this!!! You do such great videos and explain things so well!!! I also LOVE that ballerina cookie!! It is so gorgeous!!
@LittleCookieCo3 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much ♥️♥️ I'm no expert but I just do qhat's easiest and gives me the best result in my experience. I've tried using more meringue powder and really didn't see a difference and because its expensive I figure why use more if it works the same. And I've tried mixing it with water first. I think people do that to dissolve it maybe? Again I tried it and didn't really notice a difference except maybe more bubbles so then I stopped doing that too. I find dumping it all into one bowl works just as great as anything else and it's much quicker to do, so im all for it! If you had trouble with it settling, try adding a touch more water. I personally like my flood to be pretty loose and settle on its own, and also a reason why I outline my cookies with stiffer icing so it doesn't flow off the edges. But some people prefer a thicker flood. So it may take some playing around to find what works best for you. I always say there's no wrong way, as long as you get the results you want, do whatever works for you!!

Sounds like you have some smart boys! Its hard when you want to be good at something right away but it's a process! The one thing that really pushed me to get better (although was stressful at the time) was selling them. I'd get requests of all these different themes and it really pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me decorate cookies weekly and then I really started to see an improvement! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving 🥰

i mix for 7 to 10 min an get the stiff constancy.. then i take out what i need and add my water to get flood constancy,, this way if i want to use stiff constancy for things, i have it, its never over mixed and has worked out great for me, this was taught in my wilton cookie classes

We continued our Christmas Cookie adventure by making your royal icing yesterday. We learned a ton along the way, and it was so much fun! The consistency is such a big factor in decorating. Once we started decorating, we laughed nearly the entire time! It was getting late, and my wife said it was time to shut it down, I checked back after 30 minutes, and she was still decorating cookies! We are looking forward to getting family together for a cookie decorating party! The butter emulsion was a nice touch and very flavorful. Does using the bright white on the overall batch drive you to add more color to darken (deepen) colors like green, red and black? Thank you for sharing!
@LittleCookieCo3 жыл бұрын
I'm so glad you have so much fun!! Its really hard to quit once you get into it! And I'm sure your family will absolutely have a blast decorating cookies together 😁 and yes consistency is everything, and the hardest part is that there's not a 1 size fits all. You almost have to find your own perfect consistency that works well for you! Its been so long since I haven't added white to my icing so for coloring darker colors not sure how much it affects it. But it helps so much with color bleed and so I wouldn't skip it. Colors deepend with time, so if you let them sit a bit they do get deeper. Also, I find Wilton colors just aren't as strong as others, I prefer Americolor as I find it works the best from what I've tried!

Thank you for this video! I plan on doing christmas/thanksgiving baking this year (this weekend) and i just learned what a "butter bakery emulsion" was. From what I gather, it's another extract that you would find with all the other extracts in the baking aisle...I hope :( This will be my first time making royal icing, decorating cookies...I hope they turn out OK. *worried*
@LittleCookieCo3 жыл бұрын
How exciting!! And the butter bakery emulsion isn't usually sold at regular grocery stores, you can find it at Michael's or at cakes supply or special cooking/baking stores, or online. But don't worry, it's not necessary, it's just my preferred flavour, but works well without as well! Just have fun and don't don't too much. It takes some practice and my first cookies were pretty bad looking but everyone still loved them!

I usually only make this batch and I'm good for most of my sets, so I'd say around 3 dozen give or take. I've done a lot more of cookies that didn't have as much surface area, but if you are doing large circles or shapes with lots of surface area you maybe can do 2 dozen with details. I think I've done up to 4 or 5 dozen of smaller shapes or more narrow cookies!

@LittleCookieCo3 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much!! And yes, this royal icing works as a great base to paint on! Make sure your icing is fully dry before you paint and you can dilute your gels into a bit if high proof alcohol like vodka or everclear. If you don't want to use alcohol, you can use water, just make sure your paintbrush isn't too wet or the water can eat away at the icing (thats why people prefer alcohol, it evaporates quickly off the surface). I also like to paint with airbrush colours, as they're already liquid, and just need a touch of alcohol or water added. Gel doesn't dilute completely, but you can still use the coloured alcohol or vodka around it to paint.

Get yourself a hand mixer, they are not nearly as expensive as a stand mixer. They are quite costly and take up a lot of space so I can absolutely understand why many people don’t have one. That said, it’s a kitchen workhorse and a good one should last a lifetime so if you look at it that way it’s not as pricey as it seems. But a decent hand mixer will run you less than $100, there’s one from Hamilton Beach that’s perfectly decent and costs around $50. A jar of meringue powder to make this icing will set you back almost $20 so the mixer is a smart investment
