How to nail Royal Icing CONSISTENCY to decorate cookies, cupcakes and cakes.
Icing consistency is the key factor to your success or failure as a cookie decorator. When your icing consistency is 'on-point' you will find cookie decorating to be enjoyable and very satisfying.
On the other hand, if you get the wrong icing consistency it will frustrate you to no end.
So how do we nailed that icing consistency to make cookie decorating enjoyable?
Let me just say that there is no right or wrong way of doing this, I am simply showing you my method on how to know when your icing has reached the correct consistency to use for different aspects of cookie decorating.
In this video I will show you 4 different icing consistencies:
1. Stiff consistency - this is usually how the icing came out of the mixer.
2. Outline/Piping consistency - used for outlining or piping little details or for writing.
3. Medium consistency - this is the consistency we used A LOT, usually to create dimension as well as to decrease prep and decorating time (making 1 consistency is faster than making up two different consistencies) and best of all, its also handy to prevent cratering when filling small spaces.
4. Flood consistency - used to fill/flood large areas in cookies after outlining.
Hope this video is helpful for you, specially for those who are new to cookie decorating. Like i said in the beginning, nailing your icing consistency is truly the key to successful decorating.
