This icing recipe is a perfect ratio of corn syrup to confectioner’s sugar that works beautifully!
It is somewhat similar to Royal Icing but it has NO meringue powder and NO Egg whites!
The CORN SYRUP hardens it to a shiny, pretty surface, but it doesn’t make it super hard.
WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME: You can STACK the cookies or pastries without them sticking to each other and ruining the decorations!
You can outline and flood with it too just by adjusting the thickness. Add more milk or confectioner’s sugar to get the consistency you want.
I never liked the taste of traditional royal icing, but I liked the look of it. It can crack when you bite into it and was always too hard for my liking.
This icing tastes delicious and is the only one I use. And I’ve tried many!
Bonus: It’s REAL EASY to make!
