Royal Icing

2 egg whites

2 teaspoons lemon juice

3 cups icing sugar, sifted

1.Place egg whites and lemon juice in small bowl. Whip on very high speed (10-12) until soft peaks form. Reduce speed to medium (4-6) and slowly add icing sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.

TIP: Royal icing needs to be stored in an airtight container straight away or else it will dry out. It’s great for giving a matte finish to cakes; piping decorates on cupcakes/cakes or a nice finish to cookies.
