- Royal Icing
- Icing Ingredients:
- egg whites
- C powder sugar
- /2 tsp cream of tartar
- Red, blue, green, and yellow gel food coloring
- Wilton Black Foodwriter
- Icing Directions:
- -Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl mixing on medium speed for 4 minutes. (except your food coloring)
- -If icing is not stiff enough add 1/4 C powder sugar.
- - Transfer icing from the large bowl into 4 bowls, divide the icing equally into each of the bowls.
- -Bowl #1, add several drops of yellow gel food coloring stirring well until all of the color is blended; bowl #2 , add several drops of blue gel food coloring stirring well until all of the color is blended. Bowl #3, add several drops of green gel food coloring stirring well until all of the color is blended.
- -Bowl #4, add several drops of red gel food coloring in the bowl of icing ... stir well to mix the color. (Red is a difficult color to get so you may have to continue to add the food coloring to get the bright deep red color. That is why we use a gel food color as it doesn't water down the icing.)
- -Spoon each of the icings into individual frosting bags with a #5 tip.... twist the open end of the bag to push the icing to the tip.
- ABC, and a Ruler...
- -First step for each of the cookies is to outline the cookies following the examples given.
- -Yellow for the ruler, A &1 are red, B &2 are blue while C & 3 are green.
- -Allow each outline at least 30 seconds to dry before filling the body of the cookie in with the other icing*. ( After outlining all of the cookies in their colors you can push the *remaining icing out of the frosting bag into a bowl and add the 1 tsp of water and mix well to get the right consistency.) Using a butter knife to spread it from the outlined part inwards to the center icing all of the cookie to match the outline color.
- -Set these aside and allow to completely dry about 4 hours.
- -After the icing on the ruler cookie has completely dried use the Wilton Foodwriter in black to mark off the lines and numbers as shown on the example ruler.
