Recipe - Royal Icing

(Stiff consistency)
yield: 3 cups

3 level tablespoons Meringue Powder
1 lb. icing sugar
5 tablespoons lukewarm water

Make sure all utensils are grease free (containers to store the icing, too!)

Place icing sugar and Meringue Powder in a bowl.  Stir or mix at low speed until blended.  Add water and mix 7 to 10 minutes at low-medium speed until icing loses its sheen.  To prevent drying, be sure to cover the bowl with a damp cloth while working with icing.

Store in an airtight grease-free container (stainless steel bowls with airtight lid are ideal) for up to 2 weeks.  To reuse, beat  on low to restore original texture.

Recipe - Colour Flow Icing

(Full Strength)
yield: 1 3/4 cups

2 level tablespoons Wilton Colour Flow Icing Mix (use the packet in the Student Kit)
1 lb. icing sugar
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon water

Make sure all utensils are grease free (containers to store the icing, too!)

Using an electric mixer, blend all ingredients on low speed* for 7 minutes.  To prevent drying, be sure to cover the bowl with a damp cloth while working with icing.

Store in an airtight grease-free container (stainless steel bowls with airtight lid are ideal) for up to 2 weeks.  To reuse, beat  on low to restore original texture.

* If using a hand-held mixer, you may have to use a higher speed.
