Perfect for making roses that need to withstand though stuff, also perfect for decorating sugar (scene) eggs.

Royal icing is generally used to make decorations on cakes and to "cement" decorations together, and is not recommended for icing cakes. I did use this recipe as I was out of meringue powder and it turned out pretty decent.

Icing came out good. I'm not much of an expert when it comes to decorating though. I don't know why the others batches came out to thin if anything I could of put a tbsp or two of water in my batch to thin it out.

This is the first time i tried royal icing n it turned out pretty good. i used it to decorate my cookies n the icing hardened well in the fridge. but smelled of raw eggs which was a turn off. even the guests noticed which was very embarrassing!

My mom and i used to decorate cakes for wedddings. She used this recipe all the time for the fine details used on the cakes. Her tip was to use a drop of blue food colouring to keep the icing a brilliant white.

I agree with a number of the other reviews. This icing was okay, although it was a bit loose, so to get it to set, I used quite a lot of sugar. As a result, it was very sweet.

Like the others, I did have to add a lot more sugar than the recipe states, but it tasted great even with the extra sugar.
