Heart Decorated Cookies

Decorating cookies with royal icing can be a nightmare to a beginner if you don't know some key tips!! It flow out of my cookies.




Did some research and I realise that I have to let the outline dry at least 15 mins (to play safe, I outline all the cookies first and wait until the outline form a dry crust) before I can fill in with the royal icing. And it works!






A little gift to AT for our anniversary. Can say it's quite a success!

Royal Icing - key points,

-Royal icing consistency - 10 second rule (see here)
-Outline before flood
-Colouring - Use food gel colouring
-Storage - let the cookies dry overnight before pack them
-Never leave the bowl of unused icing open. Always cover it with damp cloth to prevent it from drying.
-Top cup (for pipping bag to stand) - at the bottom of the cup, put a damp tissue to prevent the tip from drying.
