How to get the right Royal Icing Consistency EVERY TIME! - ROYAL ICING 101

How to nail Royal Icing CONSISTENCY to decorate cookies, cupcakes and cakes.
Icing consistency is the key factor to your success or failure as a cookie decorator. When your icing consistency is 'on-point' you will find cookie decorating to be enjoyable and very satisfying.
On the other hand, if you get the wrong icing consistency it will frustrate you to no end.
So how do we nailed that icing consistency to make cookie decorating enjoyable?
Let me just say that there is no right or wrong way of doing this, I am simply showing you my method on how to know when your icing has reached the correct consistency to use for different aspects of cookie decorating.
In this video I will show you 4 different icing consistencies:
1. Stiff consistency - this is usually how the icing came out of the mixer.
2. Outline/Piping consistency - used for outlining or piping little details or for writing.
3. Medium consistency - this is the consistency we used A LOT, usually to create dimension as well as to decrease prep and decorating time (making 1 consistency is faster than making up two different consistencies) and best of all, its also handy to prevent cratering when filling small spaces.
4. Flood consistency - used to fill/flood large areas in cookies after outlining.
Hope this video is helpful for you, specially for those who are new to cookie decorating. Like i said in the beginning, nailing your icing consistency is truly the key to successful decorating.

Hands down the best video on royal icing consistencies. I’ve seen other KZreadrs say you’ll “figure out” the consistencies as you go along, but that is very ambiguous for a newcomer. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this.

This is the BEST video! I have watched so many tutorials on getting the right consistency for royal icing and most of them were not specific enough -- yours is the best I have found.

Wow! You nailed it! No BS, no hesitation, just the simple facts, and how to achieve the optimum result. So easy to follow and understand! I appreciate how you showed each stage and THEN showed how to add the icing sugar to bring it back to a stiffer consistency again. I wish all videos, that we are supposed to be learning from, were this well put together and executed! Thank you so very much for caring enough to share your time and talent with us!

Cherry Robinson awww that is so encouraging to hear, thank you so much Cherry, I really appreciate your feedback ☺️💖 I really enjoy sharing the cookie love 😁😉
Thank you! I’ve tried for years to get this right. I’ve followed other online instructions that just haven’t worked for me. Even though my icing is a little different (no eggs, no powder, just confectioner’s sugar, milk, almond extract and a tiny dash of Karo to harden up the icing after it’s on the cookie) all of this still applies.
Thanks for sharing this, the spray bottle is brilliant.
Sooo helpful for a beginner! love your videos

If it has softer than it’s needed and I add more confectioner sugar, will the color change?

How long do the various consistencies take to dry? Thank you!
Hi I’m Jules i’m six years old. I love your cooking
Hi ! Thank you so much for this video ! Really helped me soooo much. Can you elaborate a bit more on the medium consistency? Please 😅 I’m new to decorating & usually only read about the two terms, outline & flood. What exactly is “create dimension & prevent crating “?
Oh thank you! This has helped a lot! I have improved my technique with different consistencies but i am gonna try this way. Btw, hoy do you get that shiny finish on your icing when it dries? My cookies always end up matte
@CookieliciousNZ
6 жыл бұрын
Hi Andrea, glad the video helped you with your icing 😊i think my icing also dries matte, but when we use fresh new icing it has that smoother look on it. Some people have tried adding a little bit of corn syrup to get that shine, but unfortunately i haven't try it personally myself, you could give it a go and let me know if it works well 😉
How long does it take to dry actually? Do you have to bake it again or just let it dry? Thankyou
You are so talented! Love your videos. I’m having trouble getting deep colors (red, black, green). Can you do a tutorial on how to develop dark colors?? Thanks I’m advance
Great video! Have you found that it makes any difference if you add the coloring before thinning the icing or if you add it after? Thanks.

Thanks Maria, I havent found any difference regarding colouring the icing before or after....however i personally prefer to get the right colours first before adjusting the consistency 😉👍
