[@charly2855]

Is it possible to make a smaller batch? Or would it be better to buy the premade royal icing?

[@yummystummy8455]

[@ladychucklefuck]

@@yummystummy8455 egg whites equal to the recipe amount. I use 1 PASTEURIZED egg white per 2 tblspoons merangue.

[@coquettexwony]

Hi there, I'm creating a website can I please use this recipe? @Wilton

[@banzaitnt]

still have the royal icing flowers from my wedding cake.....nearly 20 yrs old.....in a plastic box in the fridge

[@itzchloee602]

isn't it mouldy?

[@hailieskibba5243]

Throw those out! They're definitely no good, unless you froze them as a memorabilia

[@justalileeveeoncrack3810]

lol

[@Asiyana786]

Waaaaooooooo 💕

[@OM-el5yo]

What is the point? You open your fridge, look at the flowers for 20 years and close it? Such a nonsense, sorry for my opinion.

[@DaniellesMicoMarley]

thank you so much for this recipe and thanks to the person that said to sift the sugar. I actually cut this recipe in thirds and it made a little less then half a cup. I only needed a super small amount :) thank you again!!!!!!!!!

[@Thefnaffnfgamer]

Love this recipe, tried it out today for sugar eggs and it was perfect!

[@diananeenooth2237]

You’re great excellent as a teacher 😊 Love Wilton as much as you are ! 🙏🏻

[@jennajosten_thefairy]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was very confused because my friend says that "cookie icing" is just sugar and water, but I knew that was wrong and I had to see for myself!

[@junandjing7106]

I love using Wilton because its perfect in baking. 👏👏

[@saraswinerton7202]

Thank you so much you made this so easy a lot videos I look at made it look hard

[@wilton]

It is VERY easy, so please give this a try! Thank you for watching -Robin

[@ashleyferguson6589]

This is a great video. I've used royal icing in the past but I definitely learned some helpful hints. I ruined my hand mixer with royal icing! I hadn't even mixed it very long. Now I have a kitchenaid mixer so I hope to have better luck

[@alyssaromero7470]

How did it ruin it??? I only have a hand mixer and want to make some royal icing 😕

[@ashleyferguson6589]

@@alyssaromero7470 I guess because it is like glue and it either was to thick or some got up in the motor and the motor burned out

[@alyssaromero7470]

Ashley Ferguson Ohhh ok. Good to know. Thanks!

[@jennynovo2738]

Just to let anyone know the powdered sugar is sifted

[@hailieskibba5243]

DRY INGREDIENTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE SIFTED. ALWAYS!!!

[@colinpowell6221]

I tried this last year for Christmas cookie decorating. The icing came out like in the video. I added a bit more water to get a thinner icing for flooding the cookies. The meringue powder works wonderfully. The taste is a bit different with meringue powder than with a regular buttercream frosting, but as a cookie decorating it worked perfectly. I would not recommend frosting a cake with it, though. Buttercream works better for that.

[@wilton]

Thanks for sharing your tips!

[@kittylouiselle7256]

I love this video thanks for the tips and I can’t wait to get going on my new projects💜

[@chandyscreations4211]

Two questions: At what point in the process can I add coloring? If I make flowers with the icing, do I store them at room temp or should they be refrigerated?

[@lashawnv]

Excellent demonstration... clear and concise! 😊

Thank you

[@wilton]

Hi! Thanks for watching the video and we're glad that this video has encouraged you to try royal icing again. If you're referring to our gum paste mix, it is good for up to 24 months unopened. Thanks!

[@Alejandra.p.6577]

[@SusansEasyRecipes]

Interesting combination of ingredients 🌼

[@annebrunner3649]

Thank you.

[@missdailey123]

Thanks Robin. The royal icing was freshly made and there was no humidity. So I was curious if it was just the Baker's confectioners sugar. I used to teach for Penny's with Wilton products 45 years ago! Where did the time go! 🤢

[@PinkFondantPerú]

I love this icing😻

[@balisnchz7189]

At what point can I add color to the royal icing?

[@missdailey123]

Do you think there is a difference in powdered sugar for consistency in making roses? I’ve always used C&H sugar. I tried Bakers sugar from Aldi’s and it didn’t work well for making flowers. You did a great job in demonstrating this video! Thanks! I always sift the meringue powder and powdered sugar before making flowers with the small tips though.

[@wilton]

Hi! We have not tested the difference in performance between brands of powdered sugar, so unfortunately, we can’t comment on which one performs better. Extra powdered sugar is added to icing to make it a bit more “dry”. However, powdered sugar is very sensitive to moisture and humidity. If your bag of leftover powdered sugar was not tightly sealed or if you have a humid kitchen, it will absorb moisture in the air, adding a little extra moisture to your icing. This extra bit might be what’s slowing down your icing from achieving stiff consistency. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe to our channel!

[@sweetladynedavis]

Can you guys do a video on how to use your bottle royal icing

[@TanLe-uv8ls]

Hello, How to mix the meringue powder with whipping cream (35%) , whip together or separate and then fold them together? What is the ratio I should use? What type of flavor can I mix into the mixture? Thank you so much

[@fallenangel7742]

How much egg white for that meringue powder I don't have.I want to make this friday.

[@ashabhji6714]

We don't hv meringue powder here and instead of egg whites Can we use cmc powder to get tht prefect royal icing ????plz rply2 soon I wanna try this recipe

[@chowthetabs]

Is there any way to subsitute the meringue powder but still allow it to be stable to create details such as a flower?

[@wilton]

In theory, you could find a Royal Icing recipe that uses Egg Whites instead of Meringue Powder!

[@Asiyana786]

Excellent ❤💚💕

[@ODY0319]

To thin it out do you add more water?

[@wilton]

[@CharlanaJo]

If you don't have meringue powder is there anything else you can use?

[@XxsamLovesMusicxX]

Pasteurized egg whites

[@leeannyunt3727]

Can you mix piping gel to royal icing to give it a shiny finish?

[@TheFoodTrip]

Can we use egg white instead of meringue powder? And what will be the quantity?

[@beppo0816]

Bravo you explain super! Thank you

[@wilton]

Thanks for your feedback!😀

[@MirNasimTabassum]

I don't find meringue powder in Bangladesh. Please let me know how many eggs and sugar I should take to make this icing.

[@SedTheMage]

Mir Nasim Tabassum on the can it says 2tsp meringue powder + 2 Tbsp water = 1 egg. So it looks like she used an equivalent of about 4 eggs whites. You want to beat them till foamy before adding any sugar.

[@plaidjailbird]

Chef Richards; CPC, CC just too add you only use egg whites for royal icing but it’s true you can use fresh egg whites in stead of the powder. :)

[@SedTheMage]

Yulizzzaaa Yes, thanks! My brain was on autopilot and just assumed everyone knew to only use egg whites. Edited my original post for those that don't continue reading.

[@MirNasimTabassum]

Thank you very much for your kind information.

[@poocky100]

Is this good for sugar cookies with fine details?

I just tried this recipe for sugar cookies, it's on the back of wiltons meringue powder. I had to add 2 to 3 more tablespoons of water to get it to even come out of my piping tip! Not to mention I tried to use red and black wiltons gel food color and it turned pink and grey. This is about the 10th time I've been let down by wiltons, do not recommend this for cookies at least.

[@wilton]

[@7067tina]

You can’t turn white icing into black or red immediately. You must turn the color slowly to achieve the color you want. If you want red, add a drop of Chocolate Brown or Warm Brown to your icing, it will turn it into a nice deep red that would be a perfect shade for any Santa costume. If you want black, start with a light purple color then add black.

While we do not have one, there are recipes out there where you can use real egg whites to make Royal Icing, but it does cause some slight risk of salmonella since they would not be pasteurized like Meringue Powder.
