Royal icing recipe for the purists amongst you: 3 Egg whites. 600g of Pure icing sugar sieved well (not icing mixture). 1 and a 1/2 Teaspoons of Glycerine.(optional). 1 Tablespoon spoon of lemon juice. Whisk the egg whites adding the icing sugar as you whisk. Beat well until the icing sugar makes soft peaks (like whipped cream). Then add the glycerine (if using) and the lemon juice. Once made, follow how this lovely lady iced her cake, or use a flat ruler (or similar) for a flat top and buy some cake ornaments and a cake ribbon to make it special for Christmas or Birthdays. Using the glycerine will make a slightly softer icing (not tooth braking).
Excellent tuition! What exactly is the purpose of the layer of warm jam between cake and marzipan? To stop marzipan a here to the cake? So a “lubricant “?
How many more people are going to say where are the egg whites and lemon juice? Word to the wise, just read someone else's comment before posting your own. It is a pre-made mixture containing.........guess what?....... The egg whites and lemon. You just add some water :) :)
It will if it's left uncovered..I generally put my iced cake in a container at Christmas +birthdays,just to keep it fresher..( Though a fruit cake lasts ages!).
It's basically an almond flavour covering for a cake, that tends to go underneath icing,mainly on celebration cakes,though it can be used on small cakes that are eaten daily.
@@summerreyes4531 Here's an easy recipe from The Spruce Eats Ingredients: 1 lb. Almond paste, cut into small bits 3 c Powdered Sugar, sifted 2 Lg. Egg whites, or use Pasteurized whites from the store 1/4 t Almond extract Either in a stand mixer or a Food processor, combine the almond paste, egg whites and powdered sugar and beat until mixture has consistency of fine crumbs. Add the flavoring; beat in. Mixture should have a smooth texture. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, keep chilled. Marzipan can be eaten as a candy. Usually it's tinted in pale colors or bright red and green to shape into Holly leaves and berries. I love it. It's more than a almond flavored covering. Go to Google for more ideas and recipes for marzipan. Good luck 🍀🍀🍀
Anyone watching this please do not make royal icing this way. This is glacé icing you would put on cup cakes. royal icing is made with egg white, a little lemon juice and a few drops of glycerine
She used royal icing sugar that is pre-prepared with egg white and just needs water added. Silver Spoon royal icing sugar is available in the supermarkets.

Excellent. Thank you. 🎄🎄😀😀
Thanks so much Joseph
Thank you Sir. Merry Christmas. 🎄❄️☃️⛄❄️🎄
Never seen Royal icing made with just sugar and water...when I was training in a bakery we used egg white icing sugar and glycerine
You can buy "royal icing sugar" it has the dried egg white in so you just add the water 😀
I've always used egg whites, and a tip from a master cake maker, I drop of blue colouring into the mix. This will keep the icing, snowy white! 👍
Thank you. Not a fan of marzipan since childhood but some ppl still want it. Thanks for this video
Thank you!!! Can't wait till tomorrow to try!
What quantity of icing sugar did she use? She says how much water to add, but not how much icing sugar she was adding it to...
can you decorate the royal icing cake with gum paste decorating will it interfere with the royal to setup ,I will be putting glycrene in it..???
.
how much icing sugar is used ?
Fantastic! Thank You.
Love it!
Excellent tuition! What exactly is the purpose of the layer of warm jam between cake and marzipan? To stop marzipan a here to the cake? So a “lubricant “?
Hi Tim, glad you like the tuition! Adding the jam helps to adhere the marzipan to the cake. ^Alan
Jam is the glue to hold the marzipan in place.
@@9651Eddy thanks - I appreciate your reply- and I see that now, having done it. Jam beats superglue wrt marzipan!!
yummy
How much icing sugar to how much water?
Very nice
brilliant Instructor.
How many more people are going to say where are the egg whites and lemon juice? Word to the wise, just read someone else's comment before posting your own. It is a pre-made mixture containing.........guess what?....... The egg whites and lemon. You just add some water :) :)
It should be made clear from the start that this is not a royal icing from scratch but is a pre made Royal icing.
can i add rum to the icing mix to level or balance the flavor of rum in my fruit cake?
joo
boomrang
mona glaze
Roisin Skelly ?
is it necacarry to use fondant
Is it what ?
will the icing harden up when left to sit?
It will if it's left uncovered..I generally put my iced
cake in a container at Christmas +birthdays,just
to keep it fresher..( Though a fruit cake lasts ages!).
That's fondant icing! Royal icing is made with egg white, and I use lemon juice not water.
It’s not fondant at all! She uses a special sugar, royal icing sugar, only needs water.
what is marzipan?
It's basically an almond flavour covering for a cake,
that tends to go underneath icing,mainly on
celebration cakes,though it can be used on small
cakes that are eaten daily.
+Summer Reyes thanks
You are more then welcome!😀

Here's an easy recipe from
The Spruce Eats
Ingredients:
1 lb. Almond paste, cut into small bits
3 c Powdered Sugar, sifted
2 Lg. Egg whites, or use
Pasteurized whites from the store
1/4 t Almond extract
Either in a stand mixer or a
Food processor, combine the almond paste, egg whites and powdered sugar and beat until mixture has consistency of fine crumbs. Add the flavoring; beat in. Mixture should have a smooth texture. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, keep chilled.
Marzipan can be eaten as a candy. Usually it's tinted in pale colors or bright red and green to shape into Holly leaves and berries. I love it.
It's more than a almond flavored covering. Go to
Google for more ideas and recipes for marzipan.
Good luck 🍀🍀🍀
Almond paste
// and this Royal icing is made only with icing sugar and water ? no white eggs ?
The egg white is in “Royal Icing Sugar”
She is not using “Icing Sugar” she is using the ready mix “Royal Icing Sugar” ;)
Why marzipan & not almond paste? Why bother with the boiling & straining of the apricot jam, that’s just a waste of time.

Annette Dodds, I did wonder what was happening with the water and lack of egg white, thank you for helping me out 😊😊
Thank you dear Annette do you have a recipe?

Yes, could’ve been clearer. I was confused until someone pointed it out and I replayed. She does say “Royal Icing Sugar”
Always yucky marsepan! I just want to crumb coat, next coat and decorate my daughter's Birthday cake with ONLY ROYAL ICING!
What is "ice ink" ?
Icing , americans would say frosting.
Surely that's not royal icing just with water and icing sugar ? That is just what you mix for fairy cakes when you bake with kids .
Please stop saying approximately
get a life and dont be so critical
Water! I use egg whites
It’s a special sugar, royal icing sugar, only needs water.
This is not royal icing. It is basic sugar frosting.
It is Royal icing sugar. It's pre-made.
The egg whites are already in with the Powdered Sugar. 😋🎉
@@tomvalveede6808 You're three years too late mate. See Net Turner above!
How is this royal icing? No egg whites? No lemon juice? It would taste awful. Not impressed with this at all.
"Royal Icing Sugar", that substance contains dried egg white powder....
Have you not seen the package in the super market. It's pre-made and it tastes no different to the old recipe.
