What is Royal Icing Recommended For?
The best uses for royal icing are to make intricate, detailed decorations for cookies, gingerbread housing, and other small details. It’s not recommended to decorate cakes, as the icing hardens and won’t be a pleasant texture on soft and spongy cakes and cupcakes. However, this icing recipe does create a smooth, neat finish with clean lines, making it perfect for sugar cookies and gingerbread houses. Plus, you can color your icing however you like with food colorings, so one batch can yield hundreds of unique cookie decorating patterns.
