    this was really simple to make and fun; so much better than store bought and you can change up the flavor to whatever you want. this was my first time making icing in so far my 24 years of life... anyone can do it

    to the person whose icing was liquid, you really needed to keep blending it. I highly recommend using a hand blender or a stand mixer and mixing it until it becomes a little stiff. I think you needed to blend it all together for a few more minutes.

    fyi= 3oz of egg whites is approximately the egg whites from 3 medium sized eggs.

    Great Icing! I've never been able to make pretty cookies before because my icing recipe was just milk, butter, and powdered sugar. This tastes good and looks great :

    I used pasturized eggs and separated them. I used 4 egg whites to make 3 oz. ( simply guessing Worked just fine. Couldn't find powdered food coloring so I used the liquid. It honestly wasn't that bad... Icing got slightly thinner but still very workable. Will absolutely use this recipe again.

    My daughter is in college in Manhattan and wanted to make cookies for the people at her internship. Afer previous attempts, she had been asked to not bake again, but she forged ahead. I sent her Alton's recipe for royal icing to use on her sugar cookies. she had never made any kind of icing before. She didn't have an electric mixer, so she had to whip the eggs by hand. I didn't get a single phone call asking for help. And her co-worker reviews were fantastic!! They kept asking for her recipe. The recipe was easy, perfect and the instructions were very clear. My daughter was thrilled and has a renewed confidence in her ability to bake. Thanks Alton!

    What did I do wrong? =(
    With all the great reviews on this I feel like I have a royal icing handicap.
    It's too runny!!
    Can someone tell me what I may have done wrong?
    Thanks in advance for all your help!!

    Wow... AB does it again. Easy recipe followed by great product.

    4 tips...

    1 This recipe makes a lot of icing for cookies. Next time I will reduce the egg and sugar by 1/3.

    2 Separate the icing into small bowls with tight lids. My frosting is not hard even after three days in the bowls. But the stuff exposed to the the air hardens within 30 minutes. Separating also makes adding the food coloring easier.

    3 I find when using dry food coloring you need roughly 3/8 of a tsp to get the colors to be really bright. 1/8 and 1/4 seem to just give pastel colors.

    4 Don't forget to leave one batch of icing uncolored for "white". I ended up having to make green snow men this year. :-
