Hi Rebecca,

There are a few ways to stop the white cloud of powdered sugar and the one I prefer is to gently spray the powdered sugar with the spray bottle of water. Then, turn your mixer on low and carefully mix it.

Just don’t use too much water or it will affect the consistency of your royal icing.

That didn’t happen to you. How do I stop clouds of white showering my whole kitchen?

Hi Nora,

Sorry, I confused you. Yes, I have a handheld KitchenAid mixer and I have a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. I use them both.

It is hard to make royal icing with a handheld mixer and sometimes you need to add a little more water. I did make it with a handheld mixer for years so I know it can be done. I prefer to make it with the stand mixer mainly because the mixer is stronger and I don’t have to babysit it. I add the ingredients and turn it on.

I hope this clears things up for you. I didn’t mean to confuse you. 😉

You talk about using your hand mixer until you got your Kitchen Aid mixer, but your hand mixer is very clearly a Kitchen Aid mixer (I have the same one). Do you mean you used your hand mixer until you got your *stand* mixer? Also, my KA hand mixer nearly kicked the bucket laboring with a batch of royal icing that simply did not want to come together — it took more than half an hour of beating the tar out of it to get to piping consistency. How did you do it so fast?

Hi Mariana,

Sorry it took me so long to answer your comment. I checked out for a couple of weeks and went to the beach with my wonderful hubby to celebrate our anniversary.

Thanks for telling me about the cactus video! LOL I don’t know how those sticky little cookies hoped onto this page! LOL It’s fixed now so you can see how to make royal icing with a hand mixer. Thanks again for letting me know about the video! 😉

I think the link for the video is wrong… It’s showing a very nice video of cactus cookies, but not the one about the handmixer.

Hi Norhan,

I use this recipe for a full batch of royal icing http://thebearfootbaker.com/2011/12/antonis-royal-icing/
and this one for half a batch of royal icing http://thebearfootbaker.com/2013/03/half-a-batch-of-royal-icing-recipe/ and both are made with water. I put the Meringue powder, water and vanilla in the jar and shake it. When you mix it in a bowl, it makes a cloud of Meringue poweder that isn’t great to breath. So I use a jar with a lid.

Lisa 😉
