If you want to take a crack at making a gingerbread house or if you just need to decorate some cookies, royal icing is just what you'll need. Royal icing can be used as a sort of edible glue for all your pastry needs!

Thanks for this recipe! I usually use buttercream and fondant for my cakes as I never wanted to venture out to royal icing however I want to start making and decorating cookies so this is perfect :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like that it really sets unlike regular icing so that the icing won't get damaged by stacking cookies on top of each other!
