This royal icing tastes really good! It was easy to color and pipe. I beat the icing right before putting it into the pastry bag.

Don't worry about "stiff peaks" just mix with the sugar until your desired consistency is reached. Too runny? More sugar. Too thick? A bit of water and mix/repeat as needed. Not rocket science just a great basic icing for Xmas cookies.

I am one of the guilty ones who rarely takes the time to give a positive review for a recipe. However Mr Brown, you nailed this one. I've been baking professionally for over 20 years and this is by far the simplest, fail-proof, easy to remember recipe for royal icing I have ever tried. Baker's tip: butter flavor with the vanilla extract gives a creamy taste to the icing. And any bakers who can not find pastuerized egg whites- slowly stir the egg whites with a whisk over a double boiler until they are warm to the touch (voila! pastuerized egg whites then proceed with recipe/process. Thanks for sharing Alton & FN!

I used powdered egg whites/warm water, and this turned out great. For the icing a cake question, NO, you would not use royal icing to frost a cake. Royal icing dries quite hard/brittle, but it IS a great icing to use for string work, for "hair" on fondant figures or "fur" on animals. Royal icing is mostly used on sugar cookies. This recipe works well for outlining, and if you also want to flood, you simply need to thin it a bit with some water.

Has anyone out there tried this icing on a cake? One of my hobbies is cake decorating and I am just wondering how well it worked when you iced and piped the cake. : Any input will be helpful.

Used it for my christmas cookies now using for valentines day cooked. Definitely my new go-to recipe for royal icing. Used a little water to loosen up to my desired consistency and used gel coloring to color.
