How long do you have to scoop this into a piping bag and pipe it before it starts to cool? Your cupcakes do look super perfect with it piped on!

Thank you!!

Hi Cherri,

Royal icing is a hard icing to understand. If you live in a humid area (like I do) you need to play with it and see how it works. I make royal icing during rainstorms all the time, then I place them in front of a fan so it will help them dry faster. The humidity will cause the colors to bleed together as the icing dries, but a fan will help them dry a little faster and it will help them dry with a shine.

So I guess to answer your question, yes make royal icing when it rains! Decorating will chase the clouds away! lol

Can you make the icing on a cloudy day. My mother days it will not get hard. Is that true?

Hi Gina,

The frosting will hold its shape very well if you make the icing stiff. So really whip it for the entire 7 minutes or until you think it’s stiff enough.

If you make it with soft peaks, it won’t hold as well. My mother-in-law was really impressed with my cake one day and wanted to know how I got the frosting so fluffy. When I told her it was all in the KitchenAid mixer she was a little sad. She said she didn’t think she could do it with a hand mixer. I don’t know about you but that sounds like a challenge to me. lol

Hi I was wondering how well the frosting will hold its shape. I am looking for this to last a few days with out and drooping. Will this recipe work for that ? For cupcakes
Thanks !

Thank you! I used this to ice an angel food cake and it turned out perfect! Most recipes call for handmixers which I do not own.

I just tried the 7 minute frosting recipe and it is nothing short of amazing. Your directions are impeccable. I just stared at the sugar and resisted the urge to stir, and it came out perfectly. I used you tadpole test to see if it was ready-too cool-it really worked! No tadpoles the first time,a few minutes later they appeared and I knew it was done. I added some peppermint flavoring and red food color to make a peppermint cake. Absolutely delicious. You are now my new “go to” website.

Happy New Year!!
