WILTON ROYAL ICING

I did the Wilton cake decorating course last year and this was the recipe for Royal Icing we used. It dries hard and is great for writing and flowers that will keep for weeks if stored in an airtight,it means you can make these well in advance. Keep them away from strong light as any colours will fade. Keep equipment grease free, or you will end up with a soupy mess.

WILTON BUTTERCREAM ICING

A great icing that we used in Wilton Cake Decorating Class. Would produce amazing results everytime. Thinning is done easily by adding water. This recipe makes "stiff" consistency. To make "medium" add one tablespoon milk or water. To make "thin" icing (perfect consistency for decorating a cake with the basic coating) Add two tablespoons of milk or water. If you want pure white icing, which is the perfect base to tint, use the white crisco shortening and any clear vanilla extract (wilton makes a great one). Using any others will give a faint creamy color that may affect the shade you try and tint with. Using water will give you a stable product that needs no refridgeration and the icing will keep indefinately in the fridge if you keep it in a covered container. If it dries out in the fridge you can always just add a bit of water to bring it back to the consistency you need. If you over thin at any time, just add more icing sugar to thicken. Very versatile product!

Tips:

  • Use fresh egg whites: Fresh egg whites will give you the best results, as they are more stable and will hold their shape better.
  • Beat the egg whites gradually: Start beating the egg whites on low speed and gradually increase the speed to high. This will help to prevent the egg whites from becoming grainy.
  • Add the sugar gradually: Add the sugar to the egg whites a little at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the egg whites from becoming too stiff.
  • Beat the icing until it is stiff and glossy: The icing is ready when it holds stiff peaks and is glossy in appearance.
  • Use the icing immediately: Royal icing dries quickly, so it is important to use it immediately after it is made.
  • Store the icing in an airtight container: If you need to store the icing, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Royal icing is a versatile and delicious icing that can be used to decorate cakes, cookies, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can create beautiful and impressive decorations using royal icing.
