How To Make Royal Icing: Part 1

[221hala]

can you use a hand mix

[ballarette]

My powdered sugar says it already has egg whites added... what should i do ?

[saraisawesome007]

exactly how much sugar do u need

[saraisawesome007]

this is so much sugar

[TheCupcakeCutiePie]

Can I use a hand mixer instead?

[JOEYandFREDDY]

My royal icing came out shitty...too liquidy. Had to DUMP it...

[mspiggylau]

@JOEYandFREDDY you could add more powdered sugar to thicken it.

[Anglynn74]

every single time I have tried to mix egg whites to a whip it never works, they always stay a liquid-never foam up or get like a meringue. One time I went exactly by the recipe & mixed them for over an hour & still nothing, threw them out, never again.

[analiask]

Hi

[BlackLollieLuv]

[craftmania99]

@analiask I do belive they have fake egg liquids. but i dont know if it will have the same affect as wats suppose to happen. me myself am a vegatarian so i get wat u mean. try it! i saw some at walmart by the eggs

[therealjamesmagalyan]

@004candygirl dude IDK

[XoXoKarinaKGXoXo]

Thank you for the video. Helpful but in a good recipe, the first thing to always do and one of the most important steps is to have a list of ingredients with the precise and correct amounts of each ingredient. You should have that at the begining of the video.

[ashrafmony]

[kacysparrow]

[ThePurplePeacocks]

@TheGmcFilms It's powdered sugar. I use Domino but it doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure its just fine sugar.

[pist43]

[mmartin0425]

She mentions how many egg whites to put in but how much sugar do I add to the egg whites?

[xCinSmile]

@mmartin0425 1 cup and 2/3 sugar per egg white. (1:58)

[PollyModel]

Do u have to use a mixer or can u just use a whisk to mix it??????

[pist43]

[audreylovespurple1]

[miavivian]

What if you have only white sugar but no cornstarch? Is there a substitute for the cornstarch to make the powdered or confectioner's sugar with the white sugar?

[Thelosehina]

hi Charlene, what is a meringue powder do to the icing please, on your ingredients you dont mention how many egg whites, I am from NZ and I think the confection sugar is icing sugar. thank you for giving us all these. much appreciated.

[xxxAxFxxx]

If you watch part 2, I've got a tip for you. When you are filling the pastry bag with icing, it's easier if you place it in a glass or a tiny bowl so that it is steadier when you fill the cone with the icing. It's less mess that way and quite easier than just holding the bag in hand.

[alybear88]

Can it be regular sugar?

[xX0x1d3Xx]

is that powder suger?

[akhtar145]

pls send me a message so i can know you see mine comment thank and when u show how to make icing in different colour pls and thank you.

[akhtar145]

thank u , can you show me pls how to make it in different colour icing plss.

so far you the only one i find make since in icing which i understand can u pls help with other question i said. thanks

[teegyrl1]

@akhtar145 Not sure if your question has been answered yet but to make icing in different colors all you have to do is add food coloring or gel to it.

[sabzilicious]

you used a cup and two thirds per egg white...what if i want a stiffer mixture to make sugar flowers...? then how much powdered sugar do i need to use per egg

[rofah18]

what if confectioners sugar is not available? can i use white sugar?

[MyRecipesTV]

@rofah18 Confectioners sugar is also called powdered sugar. If you are in a pinch and have no choice but to use white table sugar try pulsing it in a food processor with a few Tsp of corn starch.

[nzl123]

@MyRecipesTV what if you have no confection sugar or powered sugar, can you use icing sugar?

[mariiam19]

@MyRecipesTV

Also called icing sugar you can find it everywhere

[Rayjz1]

@rofah18 Also known as Icing Sugar

[celinioidd]

our teacher taught us how to do this but she had cream of tartar in her ingredients...??please explain. what is cream of tartar for?

[ShortyAuzzie101]

@celinioidd cream of tartar is a thickening agent, :)

[c3lly101]

how much confectioners sugar is added?

[MyRecipesTV]

@c3lly101

Ingredients * 2 (16-ounce) boxes powdered sugar * 6 tablespoons meringue powder* * 11 tablespoons warm water



[c3lly101]

@MyRecipesTV thank you 

[justmeimei]

@MyRecipesTV is it ok if i dont add meringue powder?

[crazy4crafts]

@MyRecipesTV so if we don't want to use the egg whites, we substitute the 6 tbs meringue powder instead right?

[Nekujii]

Can you use it to decorate cupcakes?

[michilolable]

oh nvm

[michilolable]

how much sugar

[12345missy1]

do u have to use meruinge powder??

[000Winter000]

Does a mix of regular icing sugar and meringue powder behave exactly like royal icing? A package of royal icing costs much more than icing sugar. I'm looking for a cheaper alternative.

[HayatoAyaka]

Can I use icing sugar instead of confectionary sugar?

[MrsTsouk]

@HayatoAyaka You can use them interchangeably. Confectionary sugar is the American name for icing sugar. In South Africa, where I lived for three years, they call it icing sugar too, and it's the exact same thing as confectionary or powdered sugar. Hope that helps!

[HayatoAyaka]

@MrsTsouk Thank U so much! :3

[RNinTX]

She's too cute. Love her laid back explanations and enthusiasm.

[JosephMusicOfficial]

Yeah wonderful, except you're AMERICAN and everything you weigh is in cups. Real helpful that is...

[takutolovex]

@JosephMusicOfficial I rly hate it that all the vids on youtube are in cups or lb or oz --'

[mmoumdji]

@takutolovex You can use google calculator and convert everything. It's easy

[rmpbklyn]

@JosephMusicOfficial hmmmm, get a conversion - magnet for the frig.....  Pyrex 'measuring cup' has liters and cup measurements

[kabuto1005443]

how do u spell the sugar? confection or sumthin??

[JosephMusicOfficial]

@kabuto1005443 Confectioner's sugar

[teresadn]

Works really well...I used it to assemble my gingerbread houses and it dries rock hard

[TheMochaluver]

About how much icing does 1 kg of icing sugar and 5 egg whites make? (is it enough to make 20-25 small graham cracker houses? [6-7 pieces] thanks!

[stardoll786]

Thanks 4 uploading..tried it and it was gr8!!

[eliza11ful]

[CuteEvilPenguin]

@eliza11ful Its spelled flour, and im sure u can use flour too.

[pussypincherpaddy]

Are there different types of glycerine? I mean for icing and cosmetics,or are they the same stuff??

[sillybear569]

Thanx so much, part 2 was very helpful with the decorating bag and the zip lock bag thnx!!!!!!

[MsAurinko]

thanks for the help,, finally i found what i was looking for :)

[ssi1997]

wait so if u use 2 cups of powdered sugar we use 2 egg whites ?

[ssi1997]

wow ! thank u sooo much !

[barbr316]

I make my icing different I add cream of tartar for the egg whites if you don't add the cream of tartar your icing will be grainy,I also add flavoring to the icing which I noticed you didn't add these ingredients. I suppose everybody does it different.

[321ilovemydog]

[321ilovemydog]

[blackrosepetals27]

confectioner sugar is powered sugar

[Oscar307975]

@blackrosepetals27 no shit sherlock

[ScReAmBbY29]

do we have to use meringue powder?

[devilhearty]

Can't we just use powered sugar, and egg whites?

[car1melo5]

u lied because i tried and it had too much sugertalkin about 5 cups of suger

[secretme127]

"you lied".-?

[XiiaoXiiaoJR]

whr can we buy or get the confectionary sugar?

[tsuyurixx]

its called icing sugar too if thats easier to find

[heatherlovebug1]

can i use icing sugar instead of cinfectioners sugar?

[thinkingsistah]

arent they one and the same?

[PrinceGardo]

They're the same thing. :)

[paolagzzgzz]

are the same, but depends of the city they called icing suger, confectioner sugar or sugar powder

[foxyprincessamy]

Thank you so much for posting this. you are a awesome teacher.

[xHotxPasta]

my first time i did icing i put 5 eggs the hole thing lol....i didnt know that its only the egg whites hahahahahahah im so dumb...

Now i know....yay!!!

[reem0najd]

thanx so MUCH!

I've been looking for it!

really EASY :)

[aliedesuacido]

thank you!!!!

[aurora5us]

I make this with vanilla flavoring, and add extra sugar to keep the consistancy, a hand mixer will work, but holy cow!! who wants to stand with it for that long?? with the stand mixer you can set it on and do something else....this is not good for icing a whol ecake, no! Just small portions and decorating, you cannot use water, it defeats the purpose, but you can use meringue powder if you don't like egg whites. People have been using egg whites for centuries.....

[snappleful]

A Great Trick for Royal Icing to stop it going Hard and making it last longer is to add the Juice of half a Lemon and 2 Teaspoons of Glycerin just before adding the last bit of Confectioners ( Icing) Sugar. Although you need to add a little more sugar to get the right consistency. Its something my mom taught me and it makes it soft for Icing cakes and means it keeps for a longer time and tastes nice!

[starrish]

this somehow made me wanna go and listen to the sailor moon opening song

[YesSirPlease]

how long will that icing made out of raw egg whites stay safe to eat? I made it today and it tasted fine...except that it was NOT EASY TO ICE THE CAKE with it. It didn't stick to the cake unlike butter cream icing.

Is Royal icing mainly used for decorating (meaning making flowers, piping and letters on the cake) and not for icing?

[SunnasChariot]

Royal icing is used in decoration, mostly for delicate designs, piping and small flowers.

[helenkwan25]

confectionary sugar is icing sugar right?

[yukiz1fan]

yes

[dantube420]

yea

[ZAZUKTECNO]

soooo...5 cups of sugar and 3 eggs? aaand thats it?

[mdwstrngrl44]

She does a good job explaining her technique.

[stuntsaki]

wait can we use um..water instead of egg whites??

[olossub357]

whats so royal about that?

I dont think the queen eats it?

she probably eats old ppl food..

[quasar]

it has eggs.. so i wonder how long can we keep the cookies before they rotten..

[mrpogi]

can i make icing without making it sweet?

[Drukstylz]

replace the sugar with salt

[mrpogi]

ok.. not a bad info.. then can i put more milk or water to reduce the saltiness?

[Drukstylz]

use sand or broken glass instead, it works much better to reduce saltiness.

[enrikejs]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA  good point

[stuntsaki]

no i dont think so

[dacey66]

can you use a hand mixer?

[volcanogirl28]

I always make royal icing with a hand mixer :)

[meimeixforever]

does it take very long to mix the egg white with the hand mixer?

[volcanogirl28]

It's not as convenient as using a stand mixer, but takes about the same time. What's best about the hand mixer is you can move around the bowl if you see a certain part isn't mixed well.

[vmnnn]

can I use powder sugar and water?

[ilufBlue]

THAT'S ALL??? Awesomee :D:D thanks!

[Ronnybos05]

you are so cute! you know? great recipe.

[cardcaptorsophie]

Do you think I can use just sugar not the powdered sugar?

[Jeannette311]

No, it has to be powdered sugar.

[cardcaptorsophie]

Ok thanks

[jeniszos]

[payalpuchi]
