Hi Connie. Sorry I didn’t see this comment sooner.
It does foam up when you shake it. I used a whisk to mix it before and it made a foam. I have tried making it by adding all the dry ingredients and then adding the water and I didn’t like it as much as I did when it had the foam. The foam seams to add volume to the icing.
If you don’t want the foam, you can pour it through a fine mesh strainer. It will allow the liquid to drain through without the foam.

When I did this I notice a lot of foam. Am I shaking it to much or should I let it rest a bit?

What a great idea…you aren’t the only one that hates that. Mason jars are just indispensable, aren’t they?! And I loved your tip about just mixing the icing on hi for a bit to get it all mixed. I’ve been mixing mine for 5 min., but I’m going to try this…I DO HATE the bubbles!! This has been a “Lisa” morning…getting my fix, and learning new tips. Bless you!!

Oh man, this is a great tip! I also hate that puffy cloud and love that this minimizes it so much!

Great tip! Never would have thought about using the mason jar and I have tons of them around! They are just the most useful little gadgets, aren’t they? 🙂

Hi Lori,
When I first started makeing royal icing, the recipe called to mix for 10 minutes. I had a good cookie friend tell me to try to mix it just until combined. I tried it and fell in love with it. The more I mixed it the more bubbles it had and the less it shined when it dried. Now, you may have a lot of people tell you to mix it for 10 minutes and some that say to mix it a shorter amount of time. You need to experiment and see what works for you.

Mixing until combined works really well for me.
