hi guys welcome to my channel I’m Karlaand today’s video I am going to show youguys how to make royal icing to decorateyour cookies it’s super easy and if thisis your first time visiting my channelwalk-up please subscribe like commentand share and let’s get started withthis video for the royal icing we aregoing to need 2/3 cup of warm water justroom-temperature I just have a waterbottle here we are going to need 8 cupsof powdered sugar 1/2 a teaspoon ofcream of tartar and 4 tablespoons ofmerengue powder I’m going to start offwith my four tablespoons of merenguepowderI bought this one at Hobby Lobby youguys can use whatever brand you guysprefer so there’s one more that I needI’m going to mix the four table boomthen I’m going to mix in my 1/2 ateaspoon of cream of tartar this is asuper super easy recipe guys I have acup here so I’m going to try it and dothe 2/3 cup which I think that’s aboutright I’m gonna go ahead and wisp it Ican I’m not gonna put it on my machine Ilike to with this until everything isfully incorporatedyou can sometimes the little lumps I’mnot sure you guys can see it here in thecamera you see like these little lightslumps of summer and a powder so I liketo just whip it and wisp it I feel like- better too often my actual blenderswe’ll reach the bottom that book so Ijust rather do it by hand whiskey myingredients I’m gonna add this paddleattachment this is the one that for meseems to work the best so I’m gonna goahead and add this paddle attachment andI am going to slowly add my 8 cups ofpowdered powdered sugar I’m going toturn it on a low speedhopefully this powder sure doesn’t goeverywhere that’s why I like to put iton a loveseat[Music]so I or Mele start off with 2/3 cup ofwater but for some reason sometimes itneeds a little bit more depending maybeon the brand of the sugar so I just liketo add just a tiny bit and then give ita little mix again[Music]now remember that consistency is for theoutline or writing it’s really hard ifyou want it thinner then once we get itout of here then we start adding waterthat way you kind of thin it out orwhatever you’re going to use it like toflood so this consistency has to be alittle bit harder than the floodeverything’s mixed and then is what itkind of looks like your consistency turnit off you don’t want to over mix itthen it’ll get a lot of air foam so thisis a consistency that I’m talking aboutthis is really thick see how thick it isthis is thick for like your outline ifyou want to write so I’m going to showyou guys how to do the flood consistencyas wellthat’s a lot thinner than this so let mego ahead and get everything I need toshow you guys another thing that Iforgot to mention is never leave your ICuncovered so I just grabbed this likenapkin kind of thing to where I alwaysput my thumb in when I heat them up andI put them on my table I just grabbedone of these big napkins put some waterthat way it keeps it from drying out youguys can you just use a regular napkinput some water and cover it or if youhave a lid you can go ahead and place iton here as well but let me go ahead andget all my things and we’ll get with thefun consistency now that I haveeverything ready I’m gonna go ahead andscoop out a little bit of this roll Isee I’m gonna leave it in this cassetteconsistency because I’m gonna decoratesome cookies later and I want thisconsistency too right so I’m just gonnaleave it like this I just need a littlebit I’m going to go ahead and cover itback up I’m gonna diet redput a couple drops in there and I havethese little wooden things that Ithought at Hobby Lobby as well I justlike it better to mix my colors that wayI’m not like using spoon after spoonhaving to wash so many dishes afterwardsso I just give it a little mix you guyswill probably get a workout out of thistrust me so arm workout no need to go tothe gym just kidding so you guys mightsee that the color is not as dark as youguys may like it especially in the redsand the blacks and like the dark colorslike maybe a navy blue one of thesecrets to this is just to let it sit asyou let it sit the color is gonnadevelop and it’s gonna get a lot darkeralso when it dries sometimes the colorstend to get a tent to dry a littledarker so I’m just gonna put an extradollar drop in there and then I’m justgonna put it aside and I’m just gonnalet it kind of sit and see if itdevelops into a darker colorwhile I continue mixing my other colorsthat I need so this is my red it’s notas red as I like it so I’m just gonnalet it sit on my side I’m gonna coverthat as well and I’m going to move on tomy flood consistency so for my floodconsistency you always have to make surethat you add water little by littlebecause if not it’s gonna get too runnyif it doesn’t get too runny you canalways add powdered sure to thicken itup I’m gonna do this one white so it’sgonna be pretty easy cover that up havemy white right here I’m gonna add it youmight say why are you gonna do thiswhite it already looks white right wellit does but if you look at it closelyyou can kind of see the white and thewhite icing which looks like anoff-white color so I just always like toput a little bit of drops of the whiteand make it a little bit wider so lookat how big this is this is liketoothpaste consistency it’s really thickwe don’t want it like thatso I’m just gonna add in a little bit ofwater so just bear with me we are let meadd a little bit more just have to playwith it I don’t know like exactly howmany drops of water you kind of just addof water makes it add a little bit moreit’s always best to start off with lesswater than more that’s just how I likeit see how it’s getting a little thinnerbut it’s still pretty thick for me Ilike it thinner for my flood consistencyso we’re getting there we add a littlebit more water I think that’s gonna beenough give it a little bit heavy mixnow after you’re done mixing my tip isto let it sit because it will developair bubbles that way you don’t have somany air bubbles when you start to pipewhen you start to flood your cookies sothis is the consistency that I’m lookingfor see how it’s a little bit more runnya lot more runny ER than it was beforecan you guys see I’ll do it again thisis the cassette consistency that I liketo use when I’m flooding my cookies looksome people say it’s like a 15 secondconsistencyI don’t really count it out I just likehow it looks and then if you see it ifyou give it a little shake it likesettles in right away give it a littleshake and it just starts to like settlein now that I’ve got my white set andpopped a couple of air bubbles on topI’m going to show you guys how I fill mytip list by I just have a Starbucks cuphere that I’ve keep handy in my kitchenyou guys can use any cup you guys top itcut my bagging hereand this is how I like it that waydoesn’t get like so dirty around her bagand I just pour it in there I tend tostart off with my light colors firstthat way you can mix other colors in thesame bowl that you’re using so fromlighter to darker is what works for mebut I usually tend to use one them morethan one Bowl anyways like you guys sawwith my white and my red so that’s allset now I get itgive it a little twist and I have onAmazon I used to use just two rubberbands now I love these little clips thatI found on Amazon I believe IKEA sonsells them as well so there you go somuch easier when you’re done you justunclip them throw your bags away andyou’re all set so now that I’m done withmy wife I’m going to go ahead and sellmy bag for the red ones as well rememberthis one is a lot thicker this is forlike my writing that I’m gonna do so Ididn’t really let it sit for that longbut it tends to look a little bit morered than it did beforeso I’m just gonna pour it in there aswellsee how thick this is it’s like a bigchunk it’s like peanut butter almostsuper super thick so thick I can’t evenget it out of the bowl rightso that’s my red squeeze it down a bitso I’m done with my red I’m gonna giveit a twist oh I’ll do it this way it’smuch easier and I’m gonna get anotherclip and just clip it so I’m gonna alsoshow you guys on like a napkin the twoconsistencies when I’m like writing orjust doing like a scrub all that way youguys can see the difference between bothof them so let me go get a napkin foryou guys ahead my scissor is here but Idon’t know where I left them here theyare that way I can go ahead and cut thehold on my bag so I’m just gonna grab mybag cut a tiny hole there we go seeperfect okaythat’s for my red I’m gonna do one formy white as well okay so instead ofshowing you guys on a napkin my husbandwas like why don’t you just grab acookie cuz I have my sugar cookies backthere which I need to decorate so I justgrabbed a stocking for you guys to seenow I’m gonna go ahead and do the whitefirst so this is the white which I woulduse to outline and flood on my cookieand then I would flood with like thisso you just squeeze a little harder tofill in your cookie and then you just dothe same design over and over again I’mjust gonna do it here on this littlesection I’m not gonna actually flood mywhole cookie see how it settles innicely that’s what you guys want now formy outline which is much thicker whichis this one there’s really no way I cando that see how it becomes all likelumpy and stuff and it does not looksmooth that’s because it’s too thick ifit’s too thick you guys will have to addwater if you want it like the floodconsistency so for me I like it thisthick because I later want to write onmy cookie so this is like a perfectexample of how your icing should be soI’m just gonna write my name cutting outbut that’s fine you can always go backand make it look nice so you don’t haveto worryso that’s what it looks like so thoseare the two different consistencies thatI use I hope this video helped you guysI know the couple first times that I wasmaking icing I would get superfrustrated the icing just wouldn’t comeout like I liked it so you do don’t giveup just keep doing it keep doing it keepdoing it I know what they say justpractice practice practice but inreality that’s what you need to do justpractice eventually you will get betterbut this recipe is super easy if youguys have any questions go ahead andjust tap them down below I’ll go aheadand answer your questions like
