You won't need a mixer, just a spatula or knife and some good mixing in a bowl will do fine.<br />The other tricks with getting red: <br />Start with yellow or brown OR<br />Add 1 tsp or so of cocoa powder.<br />And no, you do not need to refrigerate royal icing.<br />Good luck!<br />- BekiBekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555048261270164243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473301910036743717.post-67417402989618659412014-06-07T11:05:08.018-05:002014-06-07T11:05:08.018-05:00For getting the right shade of red:

Can you let royal icing sit over night or will the consistency change when left to sit for that long? I would also assume that royal icing cannot go in the refrigerator? <br />Thanks, Beki!!EliGorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322402307664165259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473301910036743717.post-34753217722972750492014-03-10T08:29:07.683-05:002014-03-10T08:29:07.683-05:00when i do red or black, i add the coloring to the ...when i do red or black, i add the coloring to the water... and make a 1/2 batch... or 1/4 batch.

Spent hours on how to decorate, but never on how to get the right consistency for the right job! I didn't know that the outline was different from the flooding. When I found this out I searched and searched for someone to break down the difference! You have made my day! I wanted this Christmas to be special, because we are moving from Georgia to Kansas in March. And this will ber out last Christmas with my parents and their last Christmas with my 3 1/2 yo son! Thank you so much!

I like just the vanilla, but you could add any alcohol-based extract, and you'd be fine. (Butter flavoring, almond flavoring, etc. as long as it's not oil-based.)<br />The icing does dry hard, but unless you apply it very thickly, it's never hard to eat.<br />I say try it.

So, if you want to do those, you may need to add a little more sugar. But I think it would actually hold up pretty well for almost anything else.<br /><br />And as for the colors, I do generally use the Wilton gel colors. And, honestly, the best thing to do is to color the icing and let it sit for a while (a few hours to overnight) that helps allow the colors to deepen a little, especially when you're talking about Red or Black. However, when you use lots and lots of coloring, you have to watch that they actually dry. I'm still working to get black to dry completely in less than 3 days!! I also end up mixing colors a lot. Coloring icing is one of my least favorite things to do in the whole wide world!!! - BekiBekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555048261270164243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473301910036743717.post-2889529513387890442011-11-29T14:27:30.246-06:002011-11-29T14:27:30.246-06:00I tried this the other day and it was really good....I tried this the other day and it was really good. I'm trying different frostings to find out what I like. So far this Royal Icing recipe is great for cookies. Does it work for making flowers for cakes? And how do you get your colors such a deep vibrant color? Do you use more of the Wilton gel colors or do you have a color chart you found somewhere?Stacy Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473301910036743717.post-45189732686473207692011-11-14T10:07:09.822-06:002011-11-14T10:07:09.822-06:00Great tutorial!
