    wow. she is seriously amazing!!! I loved the past episodes about layer cakes and frostings, I wish there was an episode dedicated to the actual cake itself and different types. I'd love to see an in depth look at the classic sponge, genoise, chiffon, the creaming method, cakes with added fruit/nuts, and ect.

    A few questions: how long does it take for the icing to set? While you are waiting to do the details on top, can you just leave the icing in the piping bags? Should I store them in the fridge? To get the thinner icing, does just adding a bit more water still keep the color exactly the same?

Now i know what i have to do to change everything I'm doing wrong. At least i know the icing won't take forever to dry so that's a plus lol now I hope its not too thick on some cookies. Took me two hours to decorate and fix nearly 30 cookies lol. I guess i will go back snd reference your video when i go into retrying this icing

The real trick is that you must use pasteurized eggs so you do not have to worry of salmonella poisoning. You can also use pasteurized liquid egg whites that you find in the cartons.
      This is a great trick to making royal icing when you can’t find meringue powder at the store and you don’t have time to wait for it to be shipped to you when you order it online.”
