Royal icing recipe for flooding shortbread, gingerbread, etc. It is sometimes also called flow or flood icing.
In mixer bowl, pour in the warm water and the meringue powder. Mix it with a whisk by hand until it is frothy and thickened…about 30 seconds.
Add the cream of tartar and mix for 30 seconds more.
Pour in all the icing sugar at once and place the bowl on the mixer.
Using the paddle attachment on the LOWEST speed, mix slowly for a full 10 minutes. Icing will get thick and creamy.
Cover the bowl with a dampened tea-towel to prevent crusting and drying.
Tint with food colourings or thin the icing with small amounts of warm water to reach the desired consistency.
Have fun decorating!

Your blog is precious! Sent the site to my daughter in college. She loves to bake and decorate. I know that once she see’s it she’ll be ready to come home for a weekend of sugar frenzy.

I can’t wait to try this. I’ve seen it on Cake Central but never have had the chance to try. I will probably give it a go around Halloween time.

I can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t give this a 5 star rating. Tried it and it was perfect. Thanks for the recipe.
