Thanks to its easy prep and safety, this mix is perfect for creating with kids. It's made from sugar and dried egg protein, with no unnecessary preservatives or complicated chemicals. Kids love painting on cookies, and you can relax even if a stray drop or two ends up in their mouth along the way. The mixture is stable and easy to work with, even for little hands still learning to hold a piping bag.
One of the biggest advantages of this mix is how versatile it is. Need a firm texture for building 3D flowers or a thick line for cookie outlines? Just add less water. Going for a flood-fill technique instead? Simply thin the mix out a touch more. The icing settles into a smooth, bubble-free surface that looks straight out of a professional bakery. The texture is so fine it won't clog even the tiniest piping tip.
Want your decorating to hold firm and last? Skip the high mixer speeds when blending. Just mix slowly for about 7 to 10 minutes, until the icing turns white, thick, and loses its glossy sheen. This keeps excess air out of the mixture. The result is smooth icing with no air bubbles that won't crumble once dry and will stay put on your cookie for good.
When mixing, always start with a small amount of water and add more drop by drop until you reach the consistency you want. When you're not using the icing, keep the piping tip or bowl covered with a damp cloth so the mixture doesn't dry out — it hardens quite quickly when exposed to air. Once mixed, you can keep the icing in a sealed container in the fridge for several days; just give it a gentle stir before your next use.
