WATER ICING
This is my basic background icing when icing cookies. It tastes fantastic and gives wonderful results. For example I will use this for the red and orange background icing for Halloween cookies and then use royal icing for faces and more intricate detail. Originally from Gerhard Jenne.

Tips for Making Perfect Water Icing
- Use cold water: Cold water helps the sugar crystals to dissolve more easily, resulting in a smooth and glossy icing.
- Add the sugar gradually: Adding the sugar all at once can make the icing grainy. Instead, add it gradually, stirring constantly until it is completely dissolved.
- Stir constantly: Stirring the icing constantly prevents the sugar crystals from recrystallizing and becoming grainy.
- Use a heavy saucepan: A heavy saucepan helps to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the icing from scorching.
- Cook the icing to the right temperature: The ideal temperature for water icing is between 235°F and 240°F. A candy thermometer is the best way to ensure that the icing reaches the correct temperature.
- Let the icing cool slightly before using: Allowing the icing to cool slightly before using will help to prevent it from being too thin and runny.
Conclusion
Water icing is a simple and versatile icing that can be used to decorate a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. By following the tips above, you can easily make perfect water icing that is smooth, glossy, and delicious.
