Red, White, and Blue Royal Icing image

To make the spectacular bursts of red, white, and blue royal icing on July 4th desserts, you'll need three pastry bags-one for each color. Fit one bag with a small round tip (we used Ateco #2) and the remaining two with very small tips (such as Ateco #0).

Time 15m

Yield Makes about 4 2/3 cups (enough for 7 dozen 1 3/4-inch cookies, 5 dozen 2 1/4-inch cookies, 30 2 3/4-inch cookies, or 13 3 1/2-inch cookies)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup water, plus more if needed
1/2 cup meringue powder
1 pounds confectioners' sugar, sifted
Gel-paste food coloring in Red Red, Royal Blue, and Navy Blue

Steps:

  • Whisk water and meringue powder with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Add sugar, and beat until icing holds a ribbonlike trail on the surface for 5 seconds when beater is raised. (Icing should be the consistency of glue.)
  • Transfer two-thirds of the white icing to the squeeze bottle with the larger hole or to the pastry bag fitted with the larger tip.
  • Divide remaining icing in half, and tint one half using red food coloring and the other half using the 2 blue food colorings until desired colors are achieved.
  • Transfer red and blue icings to the remaining 2 squeeze bottles or the pastry bags fitted with the smaller tips.

I had a hard time getting the icing to the right consistency. It was either too thick or too thin.
