ICINC CONSISTENCY - Tips You Need to Know!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 січ 2023
- Consistency is the hardest part to get right when it comes to cookie decorating. There's no perfect consistency, it's playing around with the icing, practicing on lots of cookies and seeing what works for others and trying it out for yourself. My consistencies are rarely exactly the same, it's hard to put in the exact same amount of water and gel colour in each colour of icing, so a bit of difference is ok, as long as the icing is able to do what you want. I'm here to show you that you can use your icing for a few different things, and when it's best to do so!

Thank YOU for all that you do
I don't think you realize just how you're changing people's lives...
At least mine... You are.
Thank you.

It is TRUE...
Your videos are so all inspiring...
I needed this video. I just started baking sugar cookies and the consistency had me in a frenzy. 😂 Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome! I'm hoping to have a more in depth video coming soon on consistencies and I also show my outline and flood consistency in my Royal Icing video!!
Wow so clear thanks!!!
Thanks 🥰
Consistency is one of the hardest things I’ve found! I think I’ve finally perfected my flood and know where that is! Thank God! Thank you for this video! Always great content! Thank you!
Yes 🙌🙌 love to hear that! It makes such a difference when you get it right ❤️
Perfect timing! I'm planning my next set of cookies right now. I think this is really the key to getting good results. My last batch of icing was probably my best one yet, but I definitely need to continue working on this. I'm always afraid of thinning it out too much and end up with icing way thicker than it should be.
I find the more often I do cookies, the better my consistency is. When I don't do them for a while, I almost forget what it should look like in the bowl and it's too runny or too thick. So having a good idea of what your icing should look like is key but then practicing to get it right and make sure it works well for you is also super important! If it's ever too thin or too thick, always remember you can add a touch of water or icing sugar and re-bag the icing to make it work better!
Thanks I’m still figuring that out but all your advise helps a lot
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
I love your videos. You make cookie decorating look so easy. I tried once and it was a complete disaster. Nope, not again. However, love to see yours totally turn out so well.
Thank you!! Don't worry we've all had disasters when we starter! I hope you give it another shot one day!
I have been binging all of your videos. They are great! Do you have a recipe (or suggestions) for gluten free sugar cookies?
Thank you so much, unfortunately I don't know anyone who has a good gluten free recipe right now, but I'm sure there are a few out there that are great!
Thank you for your video, I love watching it ❤, anyway, if there is any leftover icing, should I put it in the fridge? and how to bring back the consistency? Again, thank you ❤
You can put it in the freezer and just give it a mix with a spoon or massage the bag if it's still in the piping bag!
I love your videos! I’ve learned so much! What is your royal icing recipe?
Thank you! Here's my royal icing and the recipe is in the description of the video

As always, so informative. For me, being a beginner, the consistency is what I struggle with most🙃
Glad it was helpful! It's the hardest part for all of us, but it will come 🥰
Thank you I have just started decorating cookies and my flood consistency is still a work in progress.
You got this! And make sure to check out my royal icing video (it's linked in the description of this one) I show how I make my flood!
@@LittleCookieCo thank you, I did and even saved it.
Love your videos! I think I have the flood down. I'm struggling a bit w piping consistently. When I do a line, it wants to lift w the bag and not lay down if that makes sense. So at the end of my lines I'm getting little lifts of icing, even though I have no pressure on the bag. It's like the icing doesn't want to break. Does that mean it's too thick for piping? Thank you! I'd love a video devoted to consistencies. You are the best!!!
It could mean it's too thick (but not always). Thicker icing is more dry so it doesn't stick as well. I either put a touch more pressure when I finish a line to push the line on the cookie (like sticking a sticker gently may not stick but pushing it on would make it stick) or wipe it off, so when I am almost done a line I sort of wipe the tip off on the cookie so it sticks that way and instead of lifting my bag up when I finish the line I move it sort of sideways/down.
I want to come play at your house 🤣🤣🤣 I want to learn from the best. I do better with hands on eyes on learning. But love you videos thank you so much for sharing!!!💜💜💜
Aww I wish I could do classes everywhere for everyone 🤣 but glad at least I can share videos!!
Hello, Stephanie
I have been enjoying your Channel but I do have a question how long can you keep your Royal icing at room temperature before you throw have to throw it away?
I find after about 5-6 days it doesn't work as well. It doesn't necessarily go bad it just separates and you can mix it back together, but the consistency changes after too many days!
@@LittleCookieCo thanks, I had to start all over again.
por favor podrías enviarme la receta de royal icing with the perfect consistency.
I love your job whit this product.
Here is my royal icing

I have a question: When is it better to use paste, gel, or droplet/liquid coloring? It's not just the intensity of the color. It's also how much liquid the colors add to the icing's consistency, right?
Correct! I personally prefer the gel colours, although some can be a bit liquid, they are more concentrated and don't change the consistency too much unless you're going for darker colours that need more gel added. I always colour my icing first and then thin it down with water so that I don't thin it down too much adding colour after!
@@LittleCookieCo Thank you.
