I haven’t finished decorating my cake yet so obviously it hasn’t been through the stability test yet, but the buttercream has been out of the fridge for the last 4 hours (covered with cling film) and the consistency hasn’t altered in the slightest like others have done in the same conditions!!

Every cookie decorator needs a good royal icing recipe for their cookie creations. My go-to royal icing recipe uses meringue powder which allows it dries hard giving you the ability to get creative with decorating! While it is pretty simple to make, it is probably one of the hardest icings to perfect. Fill and crumb coat a three-layer 6-inch cake or two-layer 8-inch cake. To have enough for frosting and decorating as well, double the recipe. For thin consistency, add 1 teaspoon of water per 1 cup of icing. Use a grease-free spoon or spatula to stir the icing slowly in a figure 8 motion. Avoid beating or mixing vigorously, which will introduce more air bubbles into your icing. The three main types or meringue are: ordinary meringue (the simplest, sometimes called meringue Suisse, which is just egg whites and sugar whisked until stiff); Italian meringue, which is made with a hot sugar syrup; and cooked meringue, which is made by whisking the egg whites with icing sugar in a bowl set over simmering water.

Mix them and let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Whip the mixture and use it as a substitute for 2 teaspoons of meringue powder. 7. GelatinYou can make your meringue powder with just a few ingredients. Gather the following products and follow the steps below the list with ingredients. I concluded that when you’re up against crazy heat (according to these test results at least), use half butter and half shortening with meringue powder. If you’re in need of vegan frosting, you can chance it with half vegan butter and half shortening or try the all-shortening route (with the meringue powder omitted) if you can get it to taste good. I’m going to add my preferred recipe below and in the notes, I will show you how to adapt the recipe for using all-shortening, making it vegan, etc. What is High Ratio Shortening? Meringue Buttercream will keep at room temperature for a few hours in all weather. I know those who enjoy good weather are able to keep Swiss meringue buttercream out for up to 2 days.

Meringue powder has added sweeteners and stabilizers. So, if you are using egg white powder as its substitute you will have to add them into the mixture for a better final product. Use egg white powder in1:1 ratio with meringue powder. 3. Aquafaba On its own, royal icing has a sweet, vanilla flavor. This comes from the confectioners’ sugar and the meringue powder. If you want to brighten up the flavor a bit, you can add your favorite non-oil based flavoring, such as almond or orange extract. When I mix my icing, I always start with the lightest color - which in many cases is white. I recommend getting AmeriColor Bright White dye. Though the royal icing looks white when you are done mixing it up, when decorating it will look just slightly off-white. Using white dye will give it a sharp white look!

Cream of tartar works as a leavening agent in baked goods, while meringue powder is made of dried egg whites and additives. It is a common ingredient in meringue and some other desserts. Therefore, you can’t use cream of tartar in place of meringue powder. What can be substituted for meringue powder in royal icing? Royal Icing can be mixed with either a stand mixer or a hand mixer. If I am making one batch or less, I typically use my hand mixer (I am way too lazy to drag my stand mixer up from the basement for a little bit of icing!). But when I do larger batches, the stand mixer is much more efficient and worth the effort.
