Royal Icing

I've read that royal icing is difficult to make, so is easier if you buy a royal icing mix. I decided I'd give it a go. The recipe I used said to beat an egg white until stiff and then gradually beat in a cup of icing sugar, followed by a few drops of lemon juice. Well, it all turned out ok. I think I'll be making my own!!!



I iced some cookies I made (cut using my new cookie cutters) and attempted piping some decorations. I definitely need some practice, but I guess for my first time piping it's not so bad...
