    Quick and easy to make. Spreads easily allows you time to work on it. Tastes great. Definitely recommend.

    I love this recipe; it's my go-to icing when I'm in a pinch and has worked every time. It also hardens to a smooth, glossy finish, which looks so great on cupcakes or petit fours. The trick is to prepare it right before it's time to frost, and cupcakes are fully cooled to room temperature, otherwise it hardens quickly.

    Royal Icing is a ROYAL PAIN!!! This is the THIRD recipe I have tried and all have been miserable failures. Ither too thick or too thin. I am a baker and follow recipes to a tee. I have never had this many problems

    Was looking for a soft glossy icing that went on with no 'spread marks' This went on like and ordinary powdered sugar frosting. Wonder what recipe I am looking for??

    This is the best and easiest royal icing recipe I've come across. I think people need to remember that this icing DOES get hard, as it's designed to. It's meant for decorating and is NOT a rich buttercream. This icing is also good for keeping the cupcakes underneath quite fresh for a day or two longer, if you ice the entire top and take it all the way to the cupcake paper.

    This recipe is fool-proof. Really! Just remember to beat until it is the consistency you need/want. I used it for my gingerbread cookies and it's to die for with a little extra lemon juice than the recipe calls for. I'm a big fan of Nigella and all her recipes are great.

    Tried this with a great deal of doubt (having grown up icing from the can but will never go back--this was marvelous; so easy and incredibly good--and it looked as good as on tv! Thank you so much Nigella!

    not sure what went wrong for the others, i used real egg whites and had to beat with the electric beater for a good 5mins and a further 2 after the juice was added. i added more than the required 1 tsp so its nice and lemony and i iced 60 small cupcakes and they are absolute heaven!
    this was my first attempt ever and im feeling rather clever.do try it!!!!!!
