@TakingOverCAST The speeding up part is my Mom's (and mine) favourite part too! =D

SuhadShi - yes, that's when I would normally whisk. Again, I only whisk for icing that will be used for decorated cookies. I don't find you need to whisk for gingerbread icing, because the piping tip used is usually pretty large. (#10). Hope that helps!

One question, whisking and I do not get along! Does sifting (for the first part) before adding the water work??
