- Hi! In this video, I will be showing you 4 different types of icing consistencies and how to use them. Keep in mind, I am sharing the method that I use and what works for me. You can adjust to your preference and practice until you find something that works for you.
The 4 main types of icing are: STIFF CONSISTENCY, PIPING/OUTLINE CONSISTENCY, MEDIUM CONSISTENCY, AND FLOOD CONSISTENCY
- [ ] STIFF CONSISTENCY- DEPENDING ON YOUR RECIPE, MOST ICING WILL COME OUT AS STIFF CONSISTENCY DIRECTLY AFTER MIXING. I start off with a bowl off stiff consistency icing, that I colored using Americolor GEL PASTE food coloring. To test you have stiff consistency icing, using your spatula/spoon, smooth out the surface of the icing and lift your spatula. If you see stiff peaks the bowl and on spatula that hold their shape, then you know you have reached stiff consistency. USED FOR: piping leaves, flowers, stenciling, etc. When working with stiff consistency icing, I recommend using a thick piping bag, strong enough to handle pressure when piping. If not, you risk the bag bursting open. Fit your bag with a coupler, which allows you to change piping tips using the same bag of icing.
- [ ] OUTLINE CONSISTENCY- ADD a small amount of water at a time. I use a spray bottle but you can also use measuring spoons, a dropper, or even pouring out of a measuring cup if you are able to control the amount you put in. With each addition of water, make sure to mix thoroughly. When lifting your spatula, the icing should form a soft peak. You can also grab some icing on your spatula, turn over and see if icing slowly plops off the spatula/spoon. USED FOR: outline cookies(to keep flood in), writing, detail work.
- [ ] MEDIUM CONSISTENCY- SHOULD SLOWLY RIBBON OFF SPATULA WHEN LIFTING. You can use this to outline and flood with the same consistency. It is used to give more dimension, and a more puffy look. Will require minimal use of a scribe tool to smooth over. Used for filling in small spaces/cookies to prevent cratering.
- [ ] FLOOD CONSISTENCY: SHOULD DRIZZLE OF SPATULA, will settle/smooth itself effortlessly. USED FOR: flooding/ filling in cookies after outlining, mostly bigger spaces/cookies.
TIPS:
-If you accidentally add too much water causing you icing to be too thin, you can always correct by adding a little bit of sifted powdered sugar into the icing, and you can always add more until you reached your desired consistency.
-Make sure you always keep you icing covered when not working with it to prevent it from hardening or crusting over.
-Personally, I use thicker material piping bags ONLY for stiff consistency icing. You can use more inexpensive piping bags when using outline, medium, or flood consistency.
-I recommend using gel colors as they do not affect the consistency of the icing as liquid food colorings do.

The music makes it very difficult to hear what you're saying and it is VERY distracting, even with the CC turned on. 😳😕😬
The music over your voice makes this a hard to watch video. Your work is very lovely though.
Good video but too much time is spent just showing the stirring process. Some editing would vastly improve the video while still imparting a lot of information. Thanks anyway. I learned a lot.
I agree. This was my first video ever so I definitely have a lot to learn regarding videoing and editing but thank you for your suggestion. I hope to continue improving. 😊
I've watch 100's of videos that pertain to baking, my Cricut and dog training. I don't recall ever feeling compelled to comment on any even though I thought they were informative. However, this one has taught me more than any others that I've watched. I appreciate your time and how descriptive you were in teaching each steps. Thank you so much!
This comment made my day, thank you!
It being my first video ever, I wasn't sure it was good enough or if I explained well enough but you surely gave me the reassurance I needed. ❤️
You did a great job!!
I can’t hear you even with my volume turned all the way up.
Your problem grandma
I am so sorry if this video wasn't loud enough. It was my first video so definitely a learning curve to figure out the perfect specs.
@@daintycookieco.3723 thank you!
Muito boa explicação, obrigada! 😊😊😊
@@daintycookieco.3723I heard you fine throughout the entire video 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for your thorough explainations, Ill be confident enough in time for valentine's day. I have so many cute ideas for cookies!
Thank you for your comment! I am so glad you found my video helpful and I am sure you will do great!
Really good video and informative.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for this video. It very helpful. Am about to start my cookie business 😊
Ive been looking for this….whats your recipe?
I am learning and this Really HELPED me !!! Thank you SO MUCH ! My favorite is the medium consistency, I need to keep working on this !!
I am so glad you found this video helpful! Enjoy the process and have fun ☺️
Excellent tutorial. Thank you for being so thorough in your explanation. New subscriber.
I am sorry if you don't have that music at background, it will be much better.
Very helpful video! I feel like I have a better understanding of the different consistencies! The first rose looked like a number 16 tip, what tip did you use for the second rose? The second rose was fuller than the first! Thank you!
Even though I use glaze icing for my cookie decorating, I am always looking to learn more about royal icing. Aside from the annoying music, I did find your video very informative and full of helpful tips. Thank you :)
suas explicações são muito boas amei muito obrigado deus lhe de em dobro
Excellent video! This is what I have been searching for a long time. Thanks you so much!🥰
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
Thank you for not just showing consistency but how each works. I was having trouble making roses today, the icing wasn’t thick enough!!!
With the different bag thicknesses, is there a reason you would choose to use one over the other?
Great video. I have been decorating cookies for a couple of years and I am still struggling with consistency. I told myself to start from scratch and look for videos on consistency. This has been extremely helpful. Thanks 😊!
What is the recipe for royal icing that I can pipe flowers
Very helpful vid I’ve tried frosting cookies last year and they were a hot mess. Do you use meringue powder? Does this help with consistency? Move was way to runny
@@wendyvalencia5318 thank you so much I will def get some and see how my holiday cookies turn out this year 😀
I do use meringue powder. I use 1/2 cup of water to a 2lb bag of powdered sugar. My base icing is always thick and I think down using a spray bottle with water depending on what you need- flood, outline, or details.
Great video, nice voice. Annoying music.
Wonderful video! You're an excellent teacher. I'm currently struggling with my royal icing consistencies so I'm hoping that this will help me nail it. Also, where did you get your baking/pastry mat? It's *SUPER* cute. Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much! I hope it helps as well.
The mat is from Borderland's Bakery. ❤
Great tutorial, thank you
I'm saving this video! Thank you for showing all the different consistencies! I'm ready to start practicing. Can you tell me how long I have to wait until I add a second color of icing next to the first one? Is it only about 5 minutes?
Your welcome! Have fun practicing! If you have a dehydrator, you can add another color of icing in about 10 minutes since the dehydrator makes the icing crust pretty quick. Without a dehydrator, I would wait until you see the top layer crust over. If you are doing a wet on wet technique of course you would mix in right away.
Can you share your royal icing recipe please ?
Well explained. Thank you. Good job.
Thanks so very much. This is just what I needed to see.
Very helpful! Thanks!
Excelente, muito obrigada 😍🙏
Very helpful!!!!
Help! Can you tell me the tip you used for the second rose???
I wish I could help, I am not sure which tip I used I was just grabbing random tips to show examples. It looks like a closed star tip. I like using both open star and closed star tip for those style of roses.
It would’ve really helped if you said what your tip sizes were using
I thought the same at first, but it was her first video. Let’s give her grace. 😌
Great video! Thank you!
Wonderful detailed video. Thank you. But how did you make the base stiff icing? I don’t see a recipe for it. Thanks!
I find this video very helpful. I'm trying really hard to decorate cookies. But it seems like I just can't get it right. But I'll keep trying. Thanks for your help. 😊
Do you have a recipe for your outline consistency?
What's with the annoying music in the background. I really was enjoying your work but the music is so distracting I quit watching.
I just turn the sound off and turned on close captioning.
I agree
Thank you.
Very helpful!!!! How do you make your icing? There are so many recipes, eggs, no eggs, cream of tartar, etc. Thanks ! 😊
I use meringue powder, warm water, powdered sugar, your choice of any clear extract, couple tbsps of corn syrup and a squeeze of white gel coloring
