Ingredients
Method
- Prepare your Royal Icing Base.
- Divide the icing into separate bowls.
- For outlining consistency: Add water, a few drops at a time, until thick enough to hold shape but thin enough to flow smoothly.
- For flooding consistency: Add water, a few drops at a time, until thin enough to spread easily and self-level.
- For detail work: Keep some base icing without adding water or add only a very small amount for a stiff consistency.
- Test each consistency on a plate or parchment paper. Adjust as needed.
- Cover bowls with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
Notes
Always start with a small amount of water and add more gradually to avoid over-thinning the icing.
