Renshaw's Ready-to-Use White Royal Icing, 400g Tub

Product Information

Start by lining a couple of baking trays with greaseproof paper. To keep mine from moving around during such a delicate task, I secured the paper to the trays with a bit of sellotape. The first way is by using a projector (yes, like the ones you had in school!). While this does help to achieve the best results, it’s, without a doubt, the most expensive option and only worth investing in if this is something you’ll be doing a lot. This royal icing is great to use no matter your experience level, as no preparation is needed. The icing bag makes it easy to use and the fact you can buy different colors is convenient for decorating.

On the other hand, you can achieve excellently shaped designs with a glossy and smooth result that is elegant and delicious with store-bought icing. For thin consistency, add 1 teaspoon of water per 1 cup of icing. Use a grease-free spoon or spatula to stir the icing slowly in a figure 8 motion. Avoid beating or mixing vigorously, which will introduce more air bubbles into your icing. I was a little experimental with my decorations as I was trying new things out – so sorry if some of the things are a little off, or not quite as refined as you think they should be – but I had so much fun making everything!
